Yes, "The Thin Red Line" was more metaphysical and
more surreal perhaps than "Saving Private Ryan", but I
still find a sort of poetry in motion style of
directing with Malick. If you've seen "Days of Heaven"
there's a lot of emphasis placed on the different
elements: earth, air, water, fire, etc... and strong
comparisons are drawn between man and beast. "TTRL"
had some great landscape shots of grassy hills flowing
like ocean waves in the wind. Very good in my opinion.
I think "SPR" could be the Christian/Judeo Christian
view of war and maybe "TTRL" was the zen buddhist one.
Who know? lol
