The Thin Red Line

• 
  Commentary:  Under construction.
    Take a minute to browse the cast below and the names of the characters. Does this movie seem to be the biggest male actor vanity project of all time, the subject, appropriately, being the biggest male vanity project of all time, war? Or, is it just me?
    It shouldn't surprise you that I'll be writing more later, once I've watched the movie.
    Oh, and, a note to me, what was going on in the world around the time the movie was being produced that caused anyone to think it would be a good idea?
