prove me wrong protip: you can't

TTRL is about WW2 you idiot.

Apocalypse now is about WW2 you idiot

>>64951503
> TTRL is about Cuckold
> AN is based upon biblical mystery.

>>64951503

I agree, but Apocalypse Now is really great too. Not much sense in comparing them. AN is a Vietnam nightmare, TTRL is a WW2 dream.

>>64951503

AN is one of the most memorable intense movies I have ever seen.

TTRL is one of the most boring tryhard to be deep movies I have ever seen. It's complete shit.

>>64951503
Maybe I'm just autistic but the props in The Thin Red Line did not seem authentic to the Vietnam setting. I can't say it's better than Apocalypse Now for that reason.

>>64951869
>tryhard to be deep

This is a favorite, rote reaction to Malick but I wonder what you really mean, if you can even say. Dread, fear, longing, terror in the face of war, nature, shared humanity, not very deep concepts. Actually really simple.

>>64951844
AN is just a retelling of heart of darkness

>>64951907
>the props in The Thin Red Line did not seem authentic to the Vietnam setting

There's a reason for that

>>64951869

>>64951503

I mean isn't that quite obviously the case?

Apocalypse Now is good but it's a total mess compared to TTRL which is one of the best movies ever made

>>64951907
They didn't even show a single iroquois or cobra, what a fucking hack malick is

>>64951503
Idi i Smotri > both of them

Phony War Films, the essay in the Criterion material, written by the author of the book on which TTRL is based, is really illuminating and astute. You can tell Malick followed his word to the T, eschewing all the typical genre conventions.

It's nowhere to be found online it seems.

>>64951503

TTRL is one of the most memorable intense movies I have ever seen.

AN is one of the most boring tryhard to be deep movies I have ever seen. It's complete shit.

The added content adds a very nice tonal variety that I feel, by standing in such stark contrast, helps to enforce the insanity of the rest of the film.

>>64952936
He's right though they're pure dramas

140 minutes of people talking and 2 minutes of war scenes doesn't make a war film

to be fair... would The Pianist be a war film? I get that it's set during WW2 and is "about" it, but come on, you have to see how that's not what anyone means when they say "war film".

I'm pretty sure anything that analyzes war would be considered a "war film".

>>64953583
Case in point. Not a war film.

>>64952575

>HURR GRAMMAR

You are simply outing yourself and digging your own hole even deeper.

>>64953512

>>64953644
sorry I can't find it...

>>64953668
No one did before me, I'm making a point. The discussion is about what is a war film and what is a drama set during war.

I would still classify both Thin Red Line and AN as war films.

My father who fought in vietnam said AN is his favorite movie because the cinematography best represents what being deep in war is like (not his exact words, but I'm good at translating redneckspeech)

>>64953512

nothing has changed

>>64953713
Man, if you seriously hold that Paths of Glory is not a war film I don't think you can rationally discuss film or anything else for that matter

>>64953811
...what?

Are you a psycho? Obviously Paths of Glory is a war film...

>>64953811
This is a well established fact in the arthouse community though. It's very obviously a drama first.

Both are fantastic films and I adore them both.

I actually think both are shit

apocalypse now just tries way too hard on the horror of war department when other movies already did it much better

and TTRL is just fucking boring

Brando's great in it, but it's not his best role.

AN is great, but TTRL is plotless crap. SPR is better than both, IMO
