Oh, yeah....getting a Dear John letter,,leading the enemy away from his fellow soldier's in self sacrifice,,refusing to obey orders that will kill most of his men,,marveling at how here murder is legal(this was done quite a lot in the 1950's film & TV War drama's),,at how both sides are so different yet so similar(also done to death in the 50's/60's/70's),,the bloodthirsty general craving carnage with no concern for the lives of his men,,meditating on life,love,religion & family....etc.etc.etc.

No offense but give me a break.

Thin Red Line used it's Pretense & "Art" to cover up it's Cliche's...Ryan didn't try to hide any of it's cliche's because "stereotype" or not that's the way it was.
All we can do is make a choice between these two Cliche' films. Or both, as my wife said "I like them both for different reason's, why argue about it?".....women do that a lot don't they?
