Sean Penn was in it? I think I saw a part of it. Didn't really like it though.
Maybe I'm thinking of a different movie... who knows.

One of my favorite movies and although a bit hard to get through the first time, definitely deserves repeat viewings. There are some boring stretches in it though, especially nearing the end where it goes all proto-LotR with the "is it gonna end here?" going on. Could use a better editing job perhaps, but all in all
out of
And yeah, sean penn was in it.

i was actually quoting one of sean penns lines in the hope of jogging your memory
First Sgt. Edward Welsh: Everything a lie. Everything you hear, everything you see. So much to spew out. They just keep coming, one after another. You're in a box. A moving box. They want you dead, or in their lie... There's only one thing a man can do - find something that's his, and make an island for himself. If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.

It was an OK war movie; deep and shit. There wasn't really any memorable cinematic moments in it, though. Apparently, there's a
sequel in the making.

i would disagree with your second assertion, but its entirely subjective, isnt it?
i dont look at it as a war movie per se. to me its more or less a movie about people and what war does to them, though terrence malick showed he was capable of directing a very exciting battle scene. the attack on the japanese camp was essentially children of men on guadalcanal with a few more cuts.

It's hard to separate it from it's source material, IIRC it's based on one those dude's diary from 'canal.
