yeah, and just because you may have actually been in a war doesn't mean you have a better viewpoint from which to say whether it was realistic or not.....sniff..sniff...and....and besides they're probably old & stuff, so how would they remember anything.....and stuff.
Mana that statement about your grandma & gladiator & what it led up to was weak...very weak. That's like telling you mother that she doesn't know anything about what it is like to give birth...... pretty weak, Mala.
Honestly,Mama,you have to do better than that if you want have a debate.

All kidding aside, that was a pretty thoughtless statment to make about "just because you've been in a war...." Maha, I mean really, there were WW2 Vets going into therapy after seeing this film. And before you make a statment about how you were talking about the plot, the quote you gave was NOT talking about plot development. He was talking about how it(Ryan) presented warfare.
I don't recall anyone having flashbacks after seeing Thin Red Line while Ryan was a cathartic experience for many who saw it.That is a fact, not an opinion.
I stand by my other statements regarding the plot & characters in that thread(go back & read them if you need to).

And "Thin Red Line does not shove itself down your throat"?......Maha........come on....
