I'd call it one of the best war movies ever made, but it brilliantly transcends genre. Outwardly it's about Guadalcanal, but it's more concerned with the brutish nature of man and the transitory nature of life itself. Astonishing in its juxtaposition of the monstrous and mundane and the beautiful and bestial. Rating: A
