Just watched pic related the other day.
Can anyone tell me why it isn't overrated trash?

vietnam veterans are the worst
One of my favourite films, love every second on it those tracking shots towards the end when the Americans are storming the Japanese camp when the score just becomes overwhelming is enough to make the film God tier not to mention the taking of the hill and the tribal singing scenes
i prefer ww2 movies that are not about americans and fucking eazy company more then vietnam movies
No, you are right. I forced myself to watch everything but I was bored out of my mind, most of the interactions felt so forced i couldn't help but cringe, neat cinematography though

Wait, I think I just found it. It's the same director responsible for Tree of Life and Knight of Cups. Why is this fuck tard so adamant in trying to convince everyone he's oh so deep? Pretty one dimensional tbqh.

The thing is, it felt like a "Vietnam" movie and not a WW2 movie. All of the characters are made out be emotional wrecks who are basically far left or toeing the line between ideologies. The director is obviously biased towards leftist ideals, and it makes this "war" movie difficult to watch. What was with the COD-esque run and gun in the final battle to take the ridge?

>talking shit about based Malick
Holy fuck the plebs in this thread disgusts me.
>>66943438
That film is actually about cuckolding.

>Can anyone tell me why it isn't overrated trash?
Because everyone is bashing it and it takes a certain kind ofpraetorianto actually enjoy it.

>my tastes are so patrician
>overly forced deep messages are better than a strong story and character development

cont-
I wonder was Malick aiming the cuckold at Adrien Brody?
>>66943924
That bitch should be tried for treason. Who sends a letter like that to a soldier at war? "Oh, by the way, you know that love we share, it's shit and not worth waiting for. I'm leaving you. Good luck staying motivated enough to live over there."

I would have settled for "different people have different tastes" but you had to go the "patrician" route. That's a shame.
It's the only Malick film I actually liked.
Not going to watch it again tho.

I said Praetorian, not patrician, you pleb.
>>66944128
>Praetorian
Like that means anything other than a special snowflake who doesn't want be labeled in the same group as patricians.

It's introspective about the futility of war m8.
Look at it like this, Guadalcanal is literally 1000s of kilometres from either Japan or the US, yet thousands of those countrymen died there. What would normally be considered tropical paradise is turned into a living hell for the people there.

Well duh, it's not the same thing. The Praetorians were military, patricians in the nobility.
