The Thin Red Line (Journey to the line) - Hans Zimmer

[AriePenris]

Haha while listening I hear Shame from 1.27, Pearl Harbor from 3.04 and X-Men First Class - Mutant and Proud from 4.31 (2.58 in Mutant & Proud XD..sounds like the same song..go listen XD) But I don't care, it's all beautiful!! <3

[AriePenris]

@AriePenris (Michael Fassbender connects with all those 3 movies XD THAT'S WEIRD TOO!!)

[mwells219]

I thought that the composer for shame actually did a wonderful variation on this theme that really enhanced the tone of the movie.

Haven't seen the thin red line yet. Is it as annoyingly obtuse and cryptic as tree of life?

[PeterZeeke]

wow, this is really similar to shames... I like shames better tho

[terratrema]

@PeterZeeke

Stick that opinion up you--

Nah, just kidding, although this one is clearly better.

[punketa32]

@PeterZeeke it is from shame

[23fretyearsaway]

Love it. But midway through it did sound very similar to inception.

[sheadong]

@23fretyearsaway made by the same person so that would explain the similarities.

[Vertuk]

@23fretyearsaway hans zimmer use to repeat himself in his great compositions

[StonewallJackson26]

This music reminds me of the residual effects of War. Everyone seemingly knows of the physical loss of War and the bodily wounds and injuries it causes. But few take the time to comprehend its emotional effects. The perversion of one's state of being; someone's way of thought or belief is perpetually altered. It brings about social disorders and mental illness. Sentiments of guilt, paranoia and worry are frequent. And much of this becomes hereditary. Past down from generation to generation.

[jackhannaway]

No one makes music like this guy - he's incredible, something like the Stephen Hawking of Classical composition.

[IwdWb]

As if Hans Zimmer wouldn't steal music. It's just that nobody sues him because he steals always from himself.

All his titles are based on previous work of him

[skulldrix]

Wtf, it's the same goddamn song

[kevin71127]

I sense Hans took from this when working on Inception. 

[uwldluvme21]

@kevin71127 yup i hear it too, that "time" piece is incredible

[AngelofMusic04]

Michael Fassbender has mad game with the bitches whenever this plays.

[Stuenestoppen2]

ehm, Ist this the Pearl Harbour theme?? :P



[rusjones]

still his best work ... to me anyway!

[bates1888]

i need put down! i have never seen this film before!!!

[justinklein4000]

@bates1888 THATS LIKE SAYING U HAV NEVER HAD CHEESE CAKE BEFORE

[ArcHelios117]

At 4:15 i have the crazyest best chills I ever had in my whole life...

[lordskyller]

God, fuck off with your Japanese were as evil as nazis!

The americans also did alot wrong in their history, cruel things happened by the hands of both sides. There are no good guys nor there are bad buys.

Now excuse me, I'm gonna close my eyes and experience this beautiful piece of art.

[BandOfBrothers25]

@lordskyller Your dumb.

[StonewallJackson26]

@lordskyller I second that. You are dumb. You don't understand what the japanese soldier really was.

[lordskyller]

@StonewallJackson26

Really, just a man who carries out his orders from his superior and fights for his country like any other soldier of any other country...

[KimInLosAngeles]

Japanese were as evil as Nazis.

They abducted 200,000 Asians (& Caucasians), raped them up to 50 times a day & then buried them alive to save bullets when they became sick.

*Japanese govt won't apologize to any of surviving sex slaves.

*It STILL sugercoats this by outrageously lying that the victims were whores who volunteered to service Japanese

& received great treatment & even bigger salary than Japanese army generals from Japan.

GOOGLE: Jan Ruff O'Herne - Japanese military sex slave

Though they lost(quiteRIGHTly) the KILLing,LOOTing & Rapist english Empire,now theyStill StenchDown theWorld as still "Invade"everyCountry but with their Inculture,Ugliness,SEXualDepra­vity,low standards in: Food,Personal Hygiene,Culture,etc. English "women"=PIG WCs travel the world lowering Courting,SEXual,etc Standards.@home own english preteen! granddaughters/daughters=Swine­WCs,Pay!Men! 4them2doPORN4Men

[pikemancolley]

@KGBfbiSECUpolitia shut up you dickhead, best people going, and im not even english

[tbows7]

@KimInLosAngeles all war is evil...

[ThePostRockProject]

people saying zimmer is just copy and pasting shut up! Many composers use similar structures, progressions ect in many of their pieces because they have found a niche. To create a truly original track of this standard is nothing short of genius and by that he earns the right to use elements from this again. I am not saying there arn't composers that vary there music a bit more but nobody here is in a position to say what zimmer can and can't do with his music.

[articlights]

this music has no SHAME.

[KleWdSide]

The used this for the last few minutes of the season 1 finale of HBO's "Carnivale"

It's a beautiful piece of music & I think Zimmer's scores for Nolan's films have been obnoxious.

[vanjamakrijevski]

I read all the coments and i cant understand how can you compare Hans Zimmer`s music with anything that exists in the world of music.I am ashamed from your reactions.The only composer who is 100% original is Hans Zimmer.Next time,listen the score more carefully and then comment.His songs are much deeper than you think.I dont think that in near future,composer of Hans Zimmer greatness will be born.Dont listen only with your ears,use all the senses.Thanks

[jcfilmview]

They use this piece in Shame pretty heavily. While I dug Shame (not as much as Hunger though), I think this score works better in its original capacity for Thin Red Line.

[TheRyan602]

@mrcheddahcheese I just have and I love that song but couldn't find it thanks for the heads up :)

[BritishMilkshake]

also in Kickass the song at teh end when they fly off with the jetpack :) *I think*

[Wyzzkyd]

This sounds exactly like in X-Men First Class when Xavier loses his legs.

[ainnod]

thumbs up if Shame brought you here

[xptheunique]

@ainnod Why Shame ever brought you here? im curious

[ainnod]

@xptheunique cause Harry Escott edited this song for the movie Shame OST. He transformed it.

[nlomas]

@ainnod what's shame?



[heyy3837]

@nlomas lol its a movie

[ainnod]

@nlomas A movie, starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, about sex-addiction. Directed by Steve McQueen (II).

[Nonaggress]

In Hans Zimmer's mind, all the films he's written scores for are part of the same overarching story.

[punketa32]

is this also from pearl harbour cause ive heard this song before just dont know from which movie???

[redgate2019]

@punketa32

It was used on the trailer for Pearl harbour.

[sjmoy1]

listening to the music. trying to come up with something clever and overly sentimental to describe how i feel...

ah, screw it. there are no words.

[TheRyan602]

one the most emotional pieces of music i have heard

[MrCheddahcheese]

@TheRyan602 have you listened to "time" by Hans Zimmer yet?

[Turbaciones]

THIN DREAM LINE

Every man waits for his own train

[Icepacalapse]

Good stuff.

Hans Zimmer definately has a miami vice soundtrack album among his possessions.

Notably....... the song "evan" by Jan Hammer.

[PingaloBill]

Oh come on! This has nothing nothing nothing on Gladiator! But it's still Hans Zimmer, so I like it! 

[TheFlak36]

I made recently a star wars video with this music playing but youtube is blocking it due to copyrights.Can anyone tell how I can avoid this? Please reply!!!

I want to submit the video to the 1st Annual Star Wars music video festival

[toddgreer]

one of greatest soundtracks ever. Used and imitated much after this movie came out

[Corii96]

I didnt watch the movie but I just love Hans Zimmer´s music *_*

[doughboycod2]

@Corii96 You should watch the movie if you are into philosophy. It is not a typical war movie and is very beautiful. This movie soundtrack was Hans Zimmer's greatest work (in my opinion) and flows with the cinematography perfectly. What kind of sucks though is that the movie soundtrack didn't include all of the music that Hans Zimmer wrote for the movie. Towards the end of the movie a very beautiful musical piece plays while Witt and Welsh are talking that is missing from the soundtrack.

[byakuya454]

jesus christ when this piece picks up I get shivers from my toes to the back of my neck and hair

[SuperIdelfonso]

Shame Brought me here!!!

[1Pianiste]

@SuperIdelfonso This was not used in Shame! Whoever told you that is wrong... Shame had its own original score, by Harry Escott. Trust me.

[ener8787]

Amazing movie

[kingshigh667]

this movie didnt even make me tear like Saving Private Ryan or Tears of the Sun of Black Hawk Down....This movie made me think and helped me understand war. ive never been in war and have barely fired a rifle, however watching this movie you get the point that war isnt just firing a rifle at the enemy, its why your holding the rifle, its the cause! this movi explains that better than any other!!!

[idkwhat2puthere]

@kingshigh667 actually, this movie shows the horrors of war and its destruction towards nature and the human mind and soul. it doesnt even attempt to glorify war in any way, just shows the brutal realities of it. which is what makes it so beautiful, listening to every soldier's thoughts and inner monologues, trying to make sense of what is happening around them.

[StonewallJackson26]

oooooooo this music is so haunting. It almost scares me!

[udun93]

there is a bit of it which is similar, but i think it sounds more like da vinci code. Not that it matters, they're all great soundtracks

[mrhyching]

@udun93 I guess it's "Angels & Demons" aha!

[naacho0880]

I wanna see the full movie, six hours !!!... anyone know where I can get it ?

[AlibertProd]

this doesn't sound like inception at all!

[NorCal4Life925breh]

@AlibertProd NO SHIT, ITS BETTTTER

[279Xander]

@AlibertProd it sounds like the Halo Series sampled this

[michaelerikson33]

@AlibertProd Very similar chords played in a similar fashion at the climax of the piece.

[fiedleraufdemdach]

@AlibertProd Actually, it does. "Time" has more than a resemblance to "Journey to the Line". Also, the structure and style of the themes are identical.

[AlibertProd]

@fiedleraufdemdach @WhisperingConscience : dude... that was ironic..

[fiedleraufdemdach]

@AlibertProd The Inception soundtrack as a whole sounds nothing like The Thin Red Line.

[tchaf14]

@fiedleraufdemdach Except for the song Time. Look it up, it's from the soundtrack and it sounds very similar to this song.

[GCunn92]

@AlibertProd surely inception sounds like this, seeing how this is from 1998...

[tchaf14]

@AlibertProd The song Time? It sounds extremely similar.

[Pseudodonn7]

@AlibertProd This doesn't sound like Blade Runner at all.  ;)

[dtectorx3]

@AlibertProd or inception doesn't sound like this...

[235RB]

such an underrated film!

[ArcadeButter]

my favourite war movie :)

[235RB]

@ArcadeButter hell yea me too!

[benjiAkatosh]

the youth of today should read history and see the references rather than a film about the life of the dog of Paris Hilton or illiterate boy of 13 years

[przemmichalski1]

one of the best movies i've ever seen... masterpiece, sorry for my english i'm polish whos most of family died in second world war ...

[frisbeeswagstersowda]

one of the best scenes in the movie for its music the battle and the message sent by the scene. A true masterpiece in war films.

[Gamersaufromage]

18 people who don't understand the life...

[musicismylife3451]

1:30 inception!

[nestlund]

sounds identical to music from the movie descent

[LisaSpringfield]

This was used in Transformers 3 somewhere.

[ArcHelios117]

I want this masterpiece played very loud at the exact moment of my epic death.

[sneegro]

@ArcHelios117 I doubt your death will be "epic". Statistically you'll probably die in your sleep at age 76 or collapse after having a heart attack. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything i'm just being a realist.

[ArcHelios117]

@sneegro Did you really think that i dont know my death won't be epic? I just wanted to say something like all epic death (in movies or not) should happen with that masterpiece...

[sneegro]

@ArcHelios117 Haha, alright then sorry.

[littlemonty94]

@sneegro Yeah but the people who claim to be realists tend to be dicks so I fail to see your point.

[sneegro]

@littlemonty94 Reality isn't sugar coated to your liking. Reality exists independent of your feelings, sometimes reality is a dick. "the truth hurts' is an applicable phrase in this instance.

[littlemonty94]

@sneegro Thats not what I was saying. In my experience the people that refer to themselves as realists are rather rude and inconsiderate. I said nothing about disagreeing with their points of view.

[MrProudanselmo]

this music makes me cry even when watching the movie....lord knows i should of died for something meaningful like these men.....the last great war. may there never be after...

[francesco36991]

Hi I am Francesco creator of the Cosmic Beam Experience . The Cosmic Beam music is also in Terrence Film Tree of Life check out my web site cosmicbeamexp share with your friends. Thanks

[StonewallJackson26]

It is important to write music that honors the sacrifices made by so many. But pieces like this are also relevant. It portrays the other side of War, the ugly side. The futility, the horror, the ominous emotions that men felt. My grandpa experienced War, and luckily was psychically unhurt, but the psychological scars he carried the rest of his life. I always sensed that he lost something in Korea. He used to tell me that it wasn't fear of dying that was so scary. It was the fear of killing.

[Gomez0824]

Hans Zimmer has a truly unique gift from God in his music. This score however is the best score I have ever heard it can make u sad and cry or it can just make u feel happy to be alive when u listen to it.

[MrChatItOut]

it has the whole artillery fire of 'thin red line' also.

check out watch?v=KnYAC2_hnKg

[MrChatItOut]

watch?v=KnYAC2_hnKg

"saving my privates" (2011)

best war movie you have ever seen. you need a good stomach

[tardis81]

18 people have no soul.

[mignonthon]

This is the next jewl of music right now.

Shit it's si beautifull.

[Snako85]

This sounds like Mafia II alternate ending music

[who3697cares]

By far the best piece of music from the usually overpraised Hans Zimmer.

[Shiika69200]

God playing music ! Name ? Hans Zimmer !

[GhenWare275]

uhh... yay! good movie! :P

[god0bless0the0uk]

the way people disrespect the past is horrible, the way that they go about ruining everything that are great grandfathers fought for disgusts me. may they be hanging from a thin red line

[DanielTheWalrus]

Everything a lie. Everything you hear, everything you see. So much to spew out. They just keep coming, one after another. You're in a box. A moving box. They want you dead, or in their lie...

[lordtufty]

Same as Time from Inception. BANTER

[TobiusMcKenzie]

I wonder if Hans Zimmer cries whilst listening to his own songs...

I wouldn't call it vanity if he did

[dquals]

@TobiusMcKenzie No he doesnt cry when he listens to his music. He cries before he makes a song and when his tears fall on paper his musical masterpieces appear

[and1rew96]

They used this and the team flight brother dvd trailer.

[KillSwitch2]

So great Nolan totally ripped-it off for 'Inception'.

[AngelofMusic04]

@KillSwitch2 No, it would be Zimmer ripped off his own score.

[POTTERMUSICALitalia]

@AngelofMusic04 All Zimmer scores kind of sounds alike each other.

they are all stunnigly beautiful though.

[tHeWasTeDYouTh]

one of the best soundtracks ever!!!!!!!!

[xRaeOfSunshine17x]

3:57-4:08 sounds extremely similar to "Time" for the Inception soundtrack.

[HonorguyXNL]

@xRaeOfSunshine17x made by the same composer but realise that this theme was made waaay earlier

[molilovesi]

awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoScripted]

So good it's devastating.

[astoprad99]

It redeemed my inside......

[irarube]

Yes. A rare blend for a war movie ----a breathtaking Zimmer score, lots and lots of silence and cinematography ---- the way only Malick can offer and very little dialogue sans the wonderful narration by each of the movie's stars (Penn, Caviezel, et al).

I loved every bit of it. The Nolte / Koteas contention was also quite interesting with the Colonel willing to sacrifice everyone in his troop to garner the victory and Koteas willing to sacrifice no one as they are all "his sons".

[Jasurlik]

There's only a thin red line that divides the sane from the mad.

[StonewallJackson26]

@Jasurlik That thin line, is the first time you are shot at.

[evilfreddy2006]

I heard this music on the trailer for the Kennedys then I come to find out it was composed by Hans Zimmer. Why am I not surprised to find out amazing music was composed by Mr. Zimmer. I hope 300 years from now he is in history books.

[digaoFND]

3:19 to 5:00 pure epicness

[lillianclinton42]

haha!! they used this song on "The Kennedys" trailer!!! :D

[MetalsBurden]

@lillianclinton42 hell yeah!! :)

i looked for ages just to find out what it was. I find myself doing that half the time but its usually alot easier when the song has lyrics. Its how i found out that it was Ludovico Einaudi's '' Novule Bianche '' on the 'This is england 86' advert :).

[BetaArtemis]

Hans Zimmer, master of music!

[MissJaneMcClane]

why is it that every time I hear a song I like, it has Hans Zimmer"s name attached to it?

[Ashmole3]

This film was brilliant. Hearing this song as they charged the Japanese camp blended excellently with the look of terror, confusion, and sadness on each of the soldiers' faces.

[djcraigg69]

One of the best tunes ever made!!!! Euphoric!!

[larma7]

By far -- I mean, BY FAR -- Hans Zimmer's best work. Props to him in helping to create this towering masterpiece.

[StonewallJackson26]

@larma7 Honor- Hans Zimmer comes very close. If this is his best. The Pacific's soundtrack is a very close second.

[tk075]

16 people lost their way to the line.

[RainWizard85]

Sadly this awesome movie was so under-rated....no one has taste for real history kind of movies....they would rather go watch movies about Justin bieber. when movies like The Thin Red Line, Saving Private Ryan, Letters From Iwo Jima, Tears Of The Sun, Platoon, Band Of Brothers, Last Of The Mohicans....go almost unnoticed by today's movie goers....that's my opinion anyways....

[StonewallJackson26]

@RainWizard85 Don't forget the Pacific.

[RainWizard85]

@StonewallJackson26 Oh yes I loved that one too...I only got to see the first episode unfortunately...

[Fatalerror300]

@RainWizard85 Saving private ryan was great, Last of the mohicans was terrific, Thin red like was average, the rest you named were plain shit. thats my opinion..

[KalmahRocks]

@Fatalerror300 "Plain Shit"

You have no fucking knowledge of war movies, lmao. Saving Private Ryan was great, but Thin Red Line was on a whole new fucking level.

[TruArtStudios]

@RainWizard85

Saving Private Ryan wasn't real history and neither was Platoon or The Last of the Mohicans and Letters from Iwo Jima sucks so......

[maddymann8]

@RainWizard85 could not argee more with you my friend.

[libralice95]

@RainWizard85

I'm fifteen years old

And i have Band of Brothers, The Pacific, We Were Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan, Behing Enemy Lines and Pearl Harbour on DVD. Also I have read Robert Leckie's Helmet for my Pillow and Eugene Sledge's With the Old Breed and Stephen Armbrose's Band of Brothers book. I have read and watch all at least 3 times. And i'm a girl.

[KalmahRocks]

@RainWizard85 They're little girls who watch Never say Never, I wouldn't expect them to view war movies.

[Breyerobsessed27]

@RainWizard85 Iwo Jima and Band of Brothers.. gotta be on my top 10 list.

[Crazyman1212]

@RainWizard85 all good movies (we were soilders), people don't want to see movies with sad truths when it comes to military life, they want to see war movies about being a patriot and fight battles, not the horrific images of war and the toll it has on both the troops and there familys. 4 canadian troops died in afganistan the day michael jackson died and the media didn't mention so much as one word about it but they can run a marathon on michael jacksons death.

[LookMaNoBrains]

@RainWizard85 Letters From Iwo Jima, is the best war movie ever made. Along Flags of our Fathers and those u mentioned.

[StonewallJackson26]

@LookMaNoBrains The Thin Red Line by my estimation is probably the best War movie ever made. It is one of few that is honest! Malik was not concerned with making a film revolving around patriotism or the American flag. He focuses on the real aspects of War. The loss of innocence, the fear of not only dying, but the fear of killing! He pulls no punches, instead he examines the effects that War has on a human's psyche. Men who were not touched by bullets or shrapnel were nevertheless casualties.

[LookMaNoBrains]

@StonewallJackson26

I understand what you mean but I assume you haven't watched Letters From Iwo Jima. Go watch it, and then your opinion would change that Iwo Jima is much much more profound and absolutely not about American patriotism. You can google some reviews about it first. Trust me, you will understand what i mean after you've watched it.

[StonewallJackson26]

@LookMaNoBrains I have seen it several times.

[Illadelphism]

@StonewallJackson26 Great analysis; I couldn't agree with you more.

[Machiave11i]

@RainWizard85 Most of those movies won countless awards...I don't think they have gone unnoticed.

[udun93]

@RainWizard85 Thankfully, there are those of us who do notice, and love, these movies

[nlomas]

@RainWizard85 Tears of the Sun is not a good movie nor is it real history but i agree with what you mean

[279Xander]

@nlomas i liked tears of the sun. lol. the movie may be fictitious, but that doesn't mean that shit isn't happening.

[smoke24154]

@RainWizard85 Don't worry I noticed : )

[i1killed2god3]

@RainWizard85 I've been looking for more amazing history movies, my GF is a real history movie buff, and you just made our day/night/week. Thank you for sharing your excellent knowledge. :)

[elric101]

this song is sooo amazing!!! i want it for my funeral!!! I sooo want to own the 6 hour bluray edition!!!

[barfingjake]

@elric101

No such thing, but I wish there was.

[biakuya]

wow this is really similar to the track time from inception.

[tk075]

@biakuya you mean Inception is similar to this...seeing as to how Zimmer made this before Inception...
