Watched The Thin Red Line this evening. Phew. Long ass movie and during the final third, it felt like an endurance test. I managed not to fall asleep, but I think Terence Malick has a way of making his whispered, slow motion voice overs feel corny as hell. You could parody some of his attempts at being poetic and no one would know it from the real thing.
Much better than Tree of Life, but still not a movie I'd like to rewatch.
