In fact, The Thin Red Line reminded me immensely of Seymour, or perhaps of
Sergeant X--the way that in the terror of front line battle, we are focused
on the grass, or the light through the trees above us. I haven't read the
Jones book, and to be honest I don't really intend to. I'm much more
interested in war imagery than words.
I thought it was stunningly beautiful movie, which I guess is what I'm
expected to say, but it's true. I'd pay the $7.50 again just to see once
more the one shot of the girl on the swing.
