The movie I watched was called The Thin Red Line. It is about American forces in the battle of Guadalcanal against the Japanese. The battle was significant to keep the japanese from advancing into the pacific. Most of the men in the battle are young soldiers. C Company has to secure a hill called Hill 210, but the Japanese have it heavily covered so it is a struggle. A sergeant, Staros, believes the men should flank around the hill and attack the Japanese from the side of the hill because it would be suicide for the men to continue forward. Staros' commander doesn't agree with him, so he goes and starts commanding the men to do what he says. The men end up securing the hill and continuing forward and end up securing a lot of the island.
I thought the movie was alright, it was a little lengthy and kind of drug out, but other than that it was good.
