It is an original war movie. It doesn't have any stupid war movie cliches. For example, a bunch of solders sitting around a campfire asking each other what they are going to do after the war.
"So what are you going to do after the war, Frank?"
"I am going to back and work on my families farm."
"How about you Jeff?"
"I'm going to marry Donna, start my own business, and settle down."
Or a bunch of guys discussing how they lost their virginity. This has been done a lot.
There are more, but I cannot think of them right now. Anyhow, most war movies get tired in this fashion, but The Thin Red Line was different. It is a long movie, but it kept my interest the whole time.
