[lemynguyenspk]

I dont't like this film, it's true

[Calzibit]

What is the song at the end of this trailer? If anyone could let me know I'd be much appreciative.

[squamish4244]

@Calzibit Jisas yu holem hand blom mi

[KSICODFISH]

@Calzibit i dont think thers a specific name for it. my guess is its just some traditional cultural song

[kamikrazi123]

Power Actors list:

Penn (Check)

Brody (Check)

Clooney (Check)

Cusack (Check)

Harrelson (Check)

...Reilly??

[rhiannonbjones]

@kamikrazi123

John C. Reilly is a greater actor than you probably think. Actually, he is one of the greatest character actors of our time.

[Kemjmcg19]

Endless list of famous actors

[ronduh01]

@sigs002 i suggest u watch taking chance as well then!

[meflove]

There are parts of this movie that upon first viewing u might think it's ridiculus but upon watching it a second time u realise what a work of art it is. There is a scene where the wind sweeps some grass the same time the sun comes out that is BEAUTIFUL. The only critisism I have with Malick is that sometimes it seems like he really wants to do nature films. More so in The New World.

[94Malarkey]

@kssoukup

nice idea 

[jhw930]

as an infantryman with the US Army, I have heard from many soldiers, "I can't wait to shoot someone in the face". I believe every soldier should watch this movie and it's not all about "shooting someone in the face". there is so much more in war. as the cast in this movie did a superb job, i do believe that this can change a soldier's perspective.

[flubber342]

@jhw930 I know a soldier frm my hometown who wanted to kill terrorist, all he would talk about is shooting ragheads, after his first kill, he committed suicide, I guess he learned about what you are saying, but he took it way to hard.

[kamikrazi123]

@flubber342 Name of hometown and soldier?

[squamish4244]

@kamikrazi123 You shouldn't ask for details that personal, especially concerning suicide.

[squamish4244]

@kamikrazi123 You also know perfectly well suicide is a serious problem among combat veterans.

[blaiserfilms]

its not rare for me to find a great film that i also love, but it is rare to find a great film that moved me as much as this did

[CookieLand13]

I watched this movie and i never knew until now that its rated R. Also if anyone of you liked this movie watch BAND OF BROTHERS!!!!!!!!

[shelshell2965]

nice movies

suspense

[captainkirk888]

yeah, it was nearly a word for word quote! but i've also got a movie to test girlfriends with, mine is once upon a time in america. it's four hours long and i quiz them afterwards.

[persiasand]

I dont know , i got mixed feelings about this movie. Although the story and main characters are great. The use of monologues were notoriously exagerrated. I was like "nah , he wont say something as cheesy as the meaning of life" But it did.

No offense to the true people that existed that are based off.

[MrMartinhurt]

@persiasand

For me, that made it all the more real because it was just some kid thinking. What does he know about life? He's just naive and inexperienced enough to be attempting those kinds of questions in the way he does. We catch this guy at a turning point in his life when he discovers something else in the world, something so different, but then he gives his life away. You see it in his face then when he's cornered, it's like he realized his dream world is gone, he's going to really die.

[BubbleGumNipples]

@MrMartinhurt

Are you talking about Caviezels character?

Because he commits suicide by raising his gun and forcing the Japanese to shoot him. He didn't have to die, it was his choice, and I assumed he chose that because he couldn't cope with the reality of how terrible people can be.

[leebone98]

this was a different kind of moive. its more philosophy of war. DO NOT WATCH if you want an actrion film it takes like an hour and a half for anything to happen

[go0fy11137]

It seriously doesn't get much better than this when it comes to casting.

[zazone]

this movie was just meh...i didn't like it at all

[godspeedpro]

@vampgurl -- 1st your dad seems like an idiot for thinking this when he probably didn't sit through the film. Or maybe I'm reacting to harshly because this is one of my favorite films. I don't think you would like it because you say you're a 13 yr old girl-- but I don't know you, so if you find you have an unusual respect for films that not everyone would watch in a theatre then watch it, the only harm it can do is familiarize yourself with one of the greatest film makers of our time. It is a l

[vampgurl789]

ive never seen this movie and my dad says its boring and im a 13 year old girl.... would i like it?

[dshaps10]

@vampgurl789 what a boss lol

[Suchy1996]

@feebeebobeebee13 i dont understand everything ;p only some words i can understand, and i know everything what they says in this movie is important because when i watched this movie with Polish lector, everything for me were important words... but i want to know the real meaning of word because lectors changing everything...i will be really thankful if someone will write for me everything from this trailer because there was the best words in movie. and sorry but i dont speak english very well.

[gnouti]

Merveilleux film, sublime !!! j'aime

[feebeebobeebee13]

this film was so painfully beautiful. the contrast between the calm and chaotic, the soldiers and the natives, the flashbacks and the fighting...no words

[acerjun]

Kill and you will lived...!

[Suchy1996]

Hi,this film is great, but i have a one question... Can someone tell me all what they says in this trailer? Because i cant understand everything... I need this.. Please give me the answer

[feebeebobeebee13]

@Suchy1996 ,

well, what parts dont you understand, because i can understand it pretty clearly

[NeilYoungFan1967]

I just killed a man. Worst thing you can do. And no one can touch me for it.

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

they butchered history in this movie. It is almost insulting to all those who died at the battle of Guadalcanal showing nothing of what they went through and making them look like insubordinate cowards.

[stealthfighter077]

@TheAdmirableAdmiral and you were at guadalcanal????

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

@stealthfighter077 anyone with a basic understanding of the battle would know that Guadalcanal was a dense jungle with japanese offensives being mostly at night and many banzai charges. Marines had almost no air support because Hornet was sunk and Enterprise was damaged at santa cruz early in the campaign. Marines would also never question an order from a superior like portrayed. None of these defining factors are showed in this movie which plays out like a vietnam film.

[VodkaphileTTG]

@TheAdmirableAdmiral

"Anyone with a basic understanding"

Typical straw man argument. I have relatives that were there. My uncle fought in this battle and others and cant even watch the full movie because it hits so close to home.

"Marines would never question an order"

Wrong. It happens all the time, there's disciplinary actions for it but it happens.

Saving Private Ryan butchered the story they were trying to portray far worse than TTRL, which is actually a fairly accurate movie.

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

@VodkaphileTTG just because a movie invokes memories of the battle it portrays is no testament to its accuracy. I'm just curious as to what particular aspects of the battle of Guadalcanal you think this movie demonstrates because I can't think of one. everything from the terrain to tactics to the indigenous people is wrong the natives actively aided US against Japan as opposed to the docile tribe portrayed.

[VodkaphileTTG]

@TheAdmirableAdmiral

Curious, were you fighting in this battle? Your knowledge of this battle leaves something to be desired.

Your assessments of what happened are wrong. Air support was the turning point in Gaudalcanal, many historians will confirm this. Japanese held mainly defensive or defensive-reactive in holding a point or defending a vulnerable point.

There are also "Ridge" skirmishes documented by historians in this battle, which this movie is centered around. Might want to study up.

[TheAdmirableAdmiral]

@VodkaphileTG You can't possible make an assessment on my knowledge of the battle and I'm not going to make a judgment on your knowledge either. Guadalcanal was a 6 month long battle and yes towards the 2nd half of the campaign probably around december US had air superiority. Yes there were battles on ridges but not the large hilly and grassy plains showed in the movie. I'm not saying the movie was bad just not very accurate because the defining characteristics of the campaign are not portrayed.

[VodkaphileTTG]

@TheAdmirableAdmiral

The Thin Red Line is an extremely accurate portrayal of the events in which it's attempting to portray. It's not the entire Guadalcanal battle.

Taken from a WW2 archive:

"The fighting in The Thin Red Line, however, comes from fairly late in the campaign, after the Battles of the Tenaru River, Bloody Ridge, and Henderson Field."

The environment is indeed accurate to the battle(s) TTRL is depicting, late in the campaign. To say it's inaccurate is completely false.

[kssoukup]

I use this film as a test for all of my girlfriends. if she says this film is boring...i dump her ass immediately

[peteblueeyesfromBI]

@kssoukup man,that's a great idea. i'll definitely will do that, too

[KINGofSOUTH00001]

@kssoukup Ha man, your comment totally cracked me up, 5 stars for you. I'm totally using it the same way man! lmao

[ZionTemplar]

@kssoukup

Please explain this statement about this film being a girlfriend test ?

Very intriguing.

[Snako85]

@kssoukup i do the same thing with The Shawshank Redemption. Its my favorite movie and just like The Thin Red Line it was nominated for a bunch of oscars but never won

[mollypennsylvania]

@Snako85 What IS it with men and Shawshank? I guess I should see the movie and find out. It used to be men and Kurosawa films, then along came Shawshank.

[UBiQproductions]

@kssoukup Me too. This film is amazing, its a labor of love from Malick, and arguably one of the best motion pictures ever made.

[MrAchilles1984]

@kssoukup

ha ha, i had the same idea... :D

[captainkirk888]

@kssoukup haha, you stole that from what tarantino said about rio bravo

[kssoukup]

@captainkirk888 haha, really? i honestly never heard he said that--i thought i was original-damnit lol

[Joehand87]

@kssoukup Fuck yes! Friends too. Who can stand dullards?

[kirkwoodno12oo8]

@kssoukup BORINGGGGGGGG lol jk <3 this is like my favourite film of all time, well apart from back door sluts 9.

[Kravis63]

@kssoukup My girlfriend was as moved and contemplative by this movie as me. I'm still with her.

[KGBfbiSECUpolitia]

kssoukup , U might be too harsh. She might be CULTUREd (Interesting & Interested) but doesNOT like "Soldiers"/FIT-Actors/MEN (she is? a Lesbo) so I would _Not_ dump her ... unless U are a HeteroSEXualMAN .

0:47 how SPLENDIDly Beautiful: -there's nowhere to hide except in each other_

[22grena]

@kssoukup Funny but true

[PufuletiSiBenzina]

@kssoukup what do you think of Into The Wild?

[sherminatorize]

one of the best films i have ever seen

[CruzherV]

With Saving private Ryan,best WW2 movie ever!!! Amazing action,dialogs..and lot of more!You must see it!

[shootstuffup]

i havent watched this, is it good?

and 1:14, the marine....

[sinned1976]

@shootstuffup Well the more life experience you have, the better the movie is. I saw it when I was 22 and found it a little bit long and boring, but as I grew up the movie started to change for me. I can see my self in different scenes today and I have experienced so much more - this is not a typical warmovie as you know it - its......so much more.

[rawdawg15]

I still think it sucks, just an ultraliberal artistic poetic fake version of WW2

[sinned1976]

@rawdawg15 ok fair enough. I just dont involve political isues when I see a movie. Liberal or not, fake or not, I dont care. My mind is open, well maybe bacause im not from the US, therefore i dont give much for politics anymore.

[Grandpa08339]

@rawdawg15 not to be mean, but maybe u should watch it again. Some people understand a film better after they seen it for a second time. but then again, just like TheBrainstorm9703 said,

"However, The Thin Red Line stands out because of the psychology behind it, It really makes you think"

[FuckWorkdays]

I saw this when I was like 14 and I remember that I thought it as really boring. I almost feel asleep like 5 times. And I don't remember anything but Sean Penn's face, Woody Harrelson blowing up his ass, George Clloney talking and that beautiful music. I can't even remember if they managed to take the hill.

[JillAnderson]

@FuckWorkdays = fag

[FuckWorkdays]

@JillAnderson

my point is, maybe I should see it again

[JillAnderson]

@FuckWorkdays - ok thats better

[manbra44]

its ironic that this movie was from the perspective of army infantry. whose assignment on guadalcanal was to clean up any resistance after the marines had already secured an airfield and pushed the main japanese force from the island. one of my favorite movies tho

[rawdawg15]

That's right, because you were there

[snakehissken]

"The thin red line" refers to R. Kipling's poem Tommy, most notably the line "We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,

But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you" which is kind of the point of Malick's movie, the men who took part in this were all too human no different from me and you, subject to the same doubts, fears and frailties.

[Jellyform]

The term was actually used 38 years before Kipling wrote 'Tommy' during the 'Crimean War' to describe the defensive line of the British Red Coats at the Batlle of Balaclava. This became a painting by Robert Gibb called 'The Thin Red Line' which pre-dates Kiplings poem by 11 years.

[ifistyourmind]

NO! the title stands for the emotional problems the soldiers have!

Every single soldier reacts different to the war in which he is! Some of them search for god, or something which is over all like the solider witt. Or you have men like you and me who are completly overextended. so every single man must choose on his own!

[PlaystationNation2k9]

i don't get what the actual thin red line is. its in the title for this movie. it is used for the chapter titles in Band of Brothers, and also used in the chapter titles for the WWII game series Brothers in Arms

[BellJH]

I have a feeling it is referring to the British red-coat soldiers who used to fight in battle in a long, thin line about 4 ranks deep

[ruzaini21096]

awesome

[2010Robbin]

best movie about (non)sense of war!

[R0bkiLl3r]

best movie ever

[angelangel3000]

Where is the extended director's cut of this film ? Until this 4 hour version arrives at my local revival theater I will forever consider it to be a myth. Malick, stop meditating long enough to put that movie out while people still care !

[texas224]

Come to my channel to watch ''Thin Red Line'' 17 Parts in HD quality

watch?v=fPlftlh_E_o

[piratesgirl2]

1:30 what is the name of the song starts there.. its the most touching one in the whole movie!

[kavicsocska]

As far as I remember - Pray for Us BUT :D I've found here as: "The Thin Red Line" - Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blom Mi or You can type : The thin red line theme song and search for its title:S:)

[87Immo]

/watch?v=YoPRjQuqAzg

Is this what you were looking for?

[TheBrainstorm9703]

I've always been a huge fan of WWII movies and Band Of Brothers.

However,  The Thin Red Line stands out because of the psychology behind it, It really makes you think

[taffyman5]

If you love this movie, read the book its REALLY good

[killzonephx]

is it better than the movie cuz this is one of my favorite movies

[alangasi]

It's the best move of all time!!!!

[zenmoon3]

in my best 5 movies of all time.

[101baboulinet82]

What's the name of the song when the people sings ?

Thanks

[2210ethan]

"Jesus you holdem hand blong mi"

I think.

[Hgclaw]

The scope of this film is unbelievable; so much conveyed in terms of conflict, life continuum, futility, reason.

[ToMmYToM32]

I never heard of this film but i wanna see it now.

[MyNmae134679]

This is one of the greatest movies ever made! Some of the best acting ever too! Fuck! This makes me proud to be an actor!!!!!!!!

[TJkiwiOWEG]

never heard of this film but it looks good i will go rent it

[stevieman38]

This is a great movie but no one has heard of it its just like saints and soldiers brilliant movie just nobody knows bout it

[spaciousgalaxy]

That girl the guy's making out with at 2:04 is Miranda Otto. She's in Lord of the Rings.

[MoisheKapoyr]

wow, what a cast.

[SuperMusicLover77]

everything is perfect about this film, fom the casting, music, screenplay, cinematography & most of all the direction by the genius 'Terrence Malick'.

[BboyDarknessGambler]

so true, this is literally a work of art.

[zimpiko28]

Yeah a lot of it is perfect except for some of the dialogue. I would highly doubt a battle hardened soldier that is fighting on Guadalcanal would say some of the stuff they say. My grandpa was in the Navy and he would know I guess. This movie and Saving Private Ryan are tied for #1 on my list.

1. Saving Private Ryan

2. The Thin Red Line

3. Platoon

4. Glory

5 Black Hawk Down

Pearl Harbor and Wind Talkers were utter pieces of shit.

[grasso58]

You are right "Pearl Harbor and Wind Talkers were utter pieces of shit", but Wind talkers was still better than Pearl Harbor.

[1981z28camaro]

I still think Saving Private Ryan, is one of my favorite war movies.

[ZemplinTemplar]

Well, at least it tackled a forgotten unexplored part of WWII history. But yeah, honestly, WT and PH were travesties of the worst kind...

[macuserapple1]

nice list dude..but where is BoB?! Band of brothers is my n.1

[stevieman38]

If you like BOB this has Joe toy in it.

[hector2007dk]

damn i like this film i have seen it again and again over and over

[austin6229]

lot of stars n this film

[owg59]

my father was at guadalcanal and he told me none of the soldiers at that battle spoke like any of the characters in this movie.

[AchillesShield]

I'd believe that. But I think realism wasn't Malick's primary motivation; I think the characters are meant to be 'types', like characters from a Dostoevsky novel (although nowhere nearly as developed) .

By the way, how does this compare with Saving Private Ryan in realism?

[owg59]

he never saw it. i could barely get him to see this. he died shortly after this film came out. i do recall seeing two veterans of d-day interviewed on the history channel about "ryan" and they said the invasion scenes weren't accurate enough. they both said it was worse!

[austin6229]

where was that at? i wanna see them say that and i do belive that

[lpjuunin]

I agree AchillesShield, Malick's goal for this film was to tell a fictional (but based on true events) epic poem with flawed but understandable characters, rather than depicting soldiers as the typical over-the-top patriot ready to fight.

That's why I love this film; you have trash like GI Joe cartoons where the soldiers are all gung-ho and roid'ed up for combat. In reality, soldiers are scared shitless before any kind of skirmish.

[cew1965]

@lpjuunin Also GI joes never die without coming back. WTF?

[Snako85]

@AchillesShield it wasnt his intention but is was very realistic

[austin6229]

why not

[owg59]

my father said that the men he served with cared about two things: survival and going home. he said the characters in this movie sounded more like philosophy majors than soldiers. I told him that their dialogue was hollywood "poetic license." he just scoffed. he wasn't a huge movie fan.

[austin6229]

i do notice the poetic side of the movies which i hate the hollywood side of it oh well -god bless

[fluxmuldar]

The soldiers may not have TALKED like this, but they must have FELT it... what lies on the other side of death, the purpose of the war, the business of killing a man. These are philosophical questions you try to push aside when you're out there fighting and trying to survive. But in the quiet of night in their tents, just before they went to sleep, they must have thought about it.

[schnemaa]

Good comment

[MarineSniperZRR]

Awesome trailer.

[honky18]

anyone know the last song on this?

[lpjuunin]

The one with lyrics? It's called Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blong Mi [Jesus, You Hold My Hands], it's not in the official motion picture soundtrack (pity..), but it is in the Melanesian Choir soundtrack.

[honky18]

yeah thats the one. thanks!

awesome trailer, awesome film

[Giallo007]

this film was so dragging..

[lpjuunin]

If you have such a short attention span and can't sit still unless something explosive is going on, perhaps you shouldn't be watching these films.

[Giallo007]

i loved saving private ryan, tears of the sun, big red one and loads of good films.. this was an ok film but towards the end got dragging...

[moonrakeriscrap]

dam right

[davcas113]

seriously bro

[JelleKolenbrander]

1:23 is that Joe Toye from BoB??

[Learsn]

Yes, it´s Joe Toy..

[JelleKolenbrander]

Aight, thanks ;)

[kare3423]

what a idot pulls out the pin while the granade is straped on to him but it was in the heat of the moment so no bad feelings to him

[davcas113]

hell in the movie he's admits it too

[kare3423]

no bad feelings unless he dies that would hurt but its a movie

[MajinBoo321]

This movie is great, too bad it didnt get that many viewers. This movie came out during the time when saving private came out, so it was overshadowed by it. They are both powerful and inspirational war movies

[MobFiga4eva]

The Thin Red Line is so much better than Saving Private Ryan. Saving Private Ryan shows the reality and brutalism of war in pictures, The Thin Red Line describes it in words in a philosophical way, that makes the movie to one of the best ever made. Saving Private Ryan is more for the mainstream. The Thin Red Line is a movie, that has got a longer and more powerful message than Saving Private Ryan. Hope u understand my english^^ greetz from germany

[davcas113]

my thoughts exactly

[MobFiga4eva]

Your thoughts are my theoughts, too bro^^

[1unitedfan]

where can i find the song played from 1:30 to 2:04? its not on the soundtrack

[sacrament95]

the m1 garand sounds like a deagle

[Clogged14]

Enormous casting!

[sixx479]

Good WW2 movie.

[redtailedboa4]

dude... that's frickin nick stahl

[5oreo999]

is that a girl 1:23?

[joe12787]

No.

[Riba22331]

great movie

[hamzahgeek]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE WW2 MOVIE!!!
