In Reply to: The Thin Red Line had the worst miscast of modern film. posted by tinear on October 29, 2007 at 06:21:20:
I've tried watching it many times and ALWAYS tire of the incessant cinema trickery....Marlon Brando was overpaid, overweight and completely useless in the film....I could never understand what was SOOOO maniacal about his character....seemed like a big, fat pussy to me...... To be honest though...outside of The Godfather and maybe The Outsiders...FFC is NOT a very prolific filmmaker and has hung his hat on just a few films.....hardly a legend as compared to a Willie Wyler or John Ford....
