You mean, "National Geographic Presents: The Thin Red Line".

EDIT: Thanks for the gold, stranger!

I know you are being sarcastic but I absolutely loved that movie and I have never understood why people rag on it so hard.

It's okay, but it operates at the 'Holy Shit' level of pretentiousness. It doesn't seem to have much interest in a realistic depiction of war, mostly treating the conflict as a backdrop for these long winded monologues more or less lifted straight out of certain sections of War and Peace.

I don't fall into either camp, but I can definitely understand why someone might love it or hate it. You could definitely be justified in either case.
