NP - Terrence Malick SUCKS!

[rich]

there are some stunning set pieces in The Thin Red Line, one a soldier
after a long day of battle, sitting in the twilight, thinking of the girl
left at home, her body, hands, a soft breeze swaying her bedroom curtains.
Nick Nolte is particularly good. however, the voice over becomes so
ponderous, mkes sitting thru the whole thing a chore
