If The Thin Red Line hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: world war ii

Both are built on the same subject: world war ii

Contemplative and epic in the same breath

Bleak drama, and it commits to that

History with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Both lean on scale more than on war

Bleak drama in both cases
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 2020s show

War built on stillness, twice over
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than The Thin Red Line does

The same preoccupation in both: steel helmet

History with a pulse of scale, in both cases

Drama with a pulse of bleakness, in both cases

In the mood for more contemplative?
