Brand new factory sealed dvd.
After a long hiatus, director Malick returns in this epic World War 2 saga about a rifle company fighting at Guadacanal. Visually stunning and focused on the inner thoughts, feelings, and philosophical leanings of the soldiers, the film sacrifices plot and continuity to study the questions of Man vs Nature and the Origin of Evil.
Plot difficulties are highlighted by the physical similarities of relative newcomers Ben Chaplin and Jim Caviezel. Combat scenes are, naturally, beautifully shot and effective, while the relationship between Sean Penn and Caviezel make the biggest impression among the many subplots of the star laden cast. Based on the 1962 novel by James Jones.
