You can't be serious !

Yeah, the chants went on a bit long for my taste too, but it gave a true sense of the native culture.

I love the simple poetry of the film; e.g: A plaintive V.O. from Private Witt about remembering how his mother didn't fear death. And in the end the he sacrifices himself without fear.

A lucid and mesmerizing meditation on war and humanity.

I agree

TTRL has become one of my favorite films. I at first loathed it compared to the hyperealism of SPR .... But I have come to place Malick in my all-time favorites file.

He is a master.
