@Lapp6192 I have both of the tracks that you're talking about. If you'd like the MP3s, just send me a private message with your email and I'll send them to you!
this movie has done to "Saving Private Ryan" what "District 9" did to "Avatar". Saving Private Ryan had more marketing, was more talked about, and was a great movie but Thin Red Line is wayyyy better IMO. Same goes for Avatar.
That scene at 3:20 is so touching. His expression sells that scene. If you can, watch this with good quality because you'll better see the tears start to build in his eyes. I bet Mel Gibson saw him in this and that's what got him the role of Jesus in The Passion.

A movie that really shows how horrible humanity can be, and five people in a row showing how dumb humanity really is. Arguing with people whom you know nothing about, just in order to get some sort of applause or pat on the back. Wow.
Japanese abducted 200,000 girls throughout Asia & Caucasian women in Indonesia, raped them up to 50 times a day & buried them alive to save bullets.
Japanese govt will NOT apologize to sex slaves.

@KimInLosAngeles Oh man, I'm sick of seeing people like you on every single Japan related vids. The war trials are OVER, get over it. If the acts were as serious, as u mentioned, then the perpetrators would've been trialed and punished accordingly, end of story. I've been to Japan and the ppl were kind, respectful and gentle. That's all I care about.
Some of the sex slaves who escaped are STILL ALIVE.
They just want Japanese to (1) apologize & (2) teach the truth & stop lying to the world that the victims were highly-paid prostitutes who volunteered to get dicks shoved into them for money.
You reap what you sow, so a scumbag like you (who defends rapists) will get your ass gang-raped up to 50x a day for weeks or months & then buried alive just like so many young girls in Asia.
@KimInLosAngeles You are accusing others for being evil yet you r telling me to get raped 50x a day and be buried alive? Wow..did u stop and listen to urself before u posted that rant? Anyway, back to the topic, you should learn that there's always 2 sides to the story and the Japanese claims that they have documents to prove their point too. Does it mean that they r clean? No, but we live in constitutional nations so the accused is innocent unless proven guilty.
@KimInLosAngeles Further, just because someone gives an emotional speach or cry out about injustice, it doesn't mean what they are telling the truth. I don't know how old you are but you should've leant that by now. My point? Stay neutral until the accused is brought to justice through legal mechanisms. Btw, don't get all worked up and tell ppl to get raped and die over something you read or saw. It is both immature and disturbing.

Why don't u get off that couch and see the rest of the world? Travel around for fuck sakes. You'd see then how pathetic and ignorant ur comments were. Getting all worked up over war crime vids am I right? The war is fucking over mate. Long time ago. Neither u or me have experienced it so don't talk like u know the whole fucking story.
@garbageday99 The name of the track is "A Man Himself Can Be Great" by Hans Zimmer. It's not on the official soundtrack for the film. I have it on my computer if you'd like me to try sending it to you...
Terence Malick doesn't have fans he has disciples he's a true visionary and i can't wait for Tree of Life i understand why some people hate his films they are slow moving and plot isn't top on the list of his priorities but for those of us who are into his kind of film making he is the greatest.
PS -- for those of you arguing that Terrence Malick made this as propaganda, or that it disrespects the soldiers of Guadalcanal, he simply adapted the James Jones book - Jones WAS at Guadalcanal and this is one of his takes on WWII and his own experience! (so was another of his works, "From Here to Eternity." Malick simply did a fabulous beautiful job of putting Jones' work onto the big screen
Lol this movie sucks really its the worst war movie ever! The act like soldiers are stupid and have no moral. Watch pacific, hamburger hill, band of brothers ore we where soldiers. That movies are so much better!
Terence Malick worst much more than creating stupid propaganda movies that you blood thirsted spirit watch with delight, and thin red line is much more than a war movie... So go watch your shit (even though I love BOB) and leave this master piece alone.
hey man, this movie really touched me, i absolutely loved it watched the whole damn thing over and over again and those late nights until sunrise. i just wanted to say i loved your vid, great way of capturing it all together. peace
if you read the pamphlet that comes with the criterion collection blu-ray package, actually tells that this is first of all an anti-war movie, and the main and constantly recurring theme of the movie is the struggle between degeneration and regeneration that man has such trouble dealing with, but Malick in a very artistic way argues the point that the two forces are one, I think the light that Witt sees is that there is only one force in nature, for life you need death, very cool philosophy
I can`t bealive you guys broth politics in to this excelent movie.I hade to watch it 2 times to realise is a psychological movie about the 2 main feeling of the human being in contrast:love(relation) and hate(war).Is not about war and politics.
@eldusto84 Last I checked bombing civilian cities, unoccupied by enemy forces, as well as raping their woman isn't considered 'good' an isn't any more justified than other atrocities. I don't dwell on the past, I don't justify. Germans did what they had to, as did the americans an others. Right and Wrong are just based on culture. It hardly pales in comparison. You didn't stop the USSR who killed what 60-80million? didn't stop them, the irony. oh wait you allied with them...ha!
@OiSkinnHead69 i may agree with you.. i cant stand propaganda masked as arty films.. good stuff lauriel atkins - the ethiopians - desmond dekker.. !!!
@DaCevkoch Thanks, I really wanted to make something that was closer to the actual film. A lot of great films are marketed poorly, like this one was. They made it out to be like Saving Private Ryan when the only thing the two films share is that they both take place during WWII...
yeah i agree. but seriously, saving private ryan aint got nothing on the thin red line
no offense,(i dont know if youre american) but i thought SPR was a little bit too patriotical
they offered the viewers a lots of stereotypes i think. i thought the makers intended to show how unbeliebeble evil the germans were and that theyre all nazis.(sure, a lot of germans agreed with the nationalsozialistic ideologie)
and the thin red line really showed what happens in war, on both sides
i would never go to war......... These guys are Dying like they die in every war.. Stop this shit you americans.. Never ever go to a country you dont know and kill fathers and sons... No weapon has ever bring freedom... Wacht auf!!
If this movie had not come out around the same time as Saving Private Ryan or if it came out today I believe it would have win a lot of awards. It would probably win best film along with awards to Penn, Nolte and possibly Caviezel. The bottom line, no pun intended, is that this movie is an underated masterpiece.
I still wonder sometimes why Witt raised his rifle, instead of putting it down. Maybe he knew he was going to be killed anyway, or he couldn't handle being a prisoner. I'm not sure. Part of me also thinks that he was tired of this world, and just wanted to move on to the next one.
Witt raises his rifle forcing the Japanese to give away their position in shooting him, making it possible for his unit to presumably escape. I don't think in this gesture Witt is running from life toward death, but is instead rather affirming life in a fundamental kind of way. In his death lies his companions salvation, it's an altruistic gesture, one in which he affirms an idealistic but attainable mode of existence in contrast to the cynical views of Welsh, dying spark intact.
Witt as the metaphysical subject is life affirming, nurturing, almost maternal. He sees transcendence, or the possibility of it, in "everydayness", in simply existing. Witt sees in us the possibility to make a beautiful world, he sees our better selves, he sees that "spark in us", despite the great evil surrounding him. Ultimately I think The Thin Red Line is Witt's movie. The darkness of the opening shot, (crocodile), isn't undone but transcended by the sprouting coconut. (end)
@dharmajazzbum I think he came to the conclusion that there was no way out, the Japanese soldier makes some refrence to 'you being the one who killed my friend?', so they werent gonna give him an easy time I'd imagine if he simply surrendered, but, thats beside the point, like you say I think he finally found that inner calm, was content that he had achieved all he could and was ready to go.
i've read quite a few books about the PTO during WWII. It was a brutal and savage campaign. Witt know that both US and Jap forces took no quarter. He knew that if he attempted to 'surrender', the Japs would have made example of him to all other US troops that would have stumbled upon his remains. The Jap Imperial Marine actually did Witt a favor under the circumstances.
I don't think accuracy was all that important to Malick because the movie's version of the war is simply the means through which to ask the questions the movie wanted to ask. And that's perfectly okay.
@Sturmmann This film is based on a novel by James Jones who actually fought in the battle the film is depicting. By the time the battle for Mount Austen took place the Marine Corps (as stated early on in the film) had "done their part".
I wouldn't say they were ignored, this film simply isn't about them. And there's not exactly a lack of films and series to chose from that exclusively covers the Marine Corps' in the Pacific Campaign and makes no mention of the Army.
Very well constructed trailer. One of the best war movies ever made. I did a critique of Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and Platoon. I would have liked to include this film but the three I listed were Vietnam commentaries. Perhaps I should do a review on this movie. The most poignant scene was when Penn stands over the grave of private 'Whitt', hiding tears and asking the proverbial question "where is your spark now". Truly a phenomenal movie.
This movie is incredibly unique, so unorthadox but the monologue's are a bit too far if you ask me. Get rid of a few of them and this movie is perfect.
2'10'' : "You're just out of the academy, you got your war... 15 years and this is my first war..." Brillant description of humankind! God bless us, it seems this nightmare will never ever stop.
Great film...THE BEST user made trailer I've seen anywhere, especially considering the length. Including Bell would have been nice but it'd be hard to find just a few short clips that could give you a glimpse of his character.
@barbardme Thanks so much. Looking back on it, I probably should have included a clip or two with Bell in it but it was tough indeed to find a short enough clip to show his character's nature. That scene when he reads the letter from his wife is heartbreaking; one of the best scenes in the film honestly. Witt's demise was just more visually poetic so I chose to give that a lot of time in the trailer. Thanks again...
@xaxie1 actually it's quite the opposite -- TTRL is one of the (if not THE) most unique and 'effective' anti-war movies ever made as it breaks the cliches of old 'conventional' (anti-)war movies!
I can't believe, that this (WAR) is in every man (not in every woman) on this world. Sometimes we are aggressive because of our eggs, but i never ever want to kill some other man or woman. I will left this planet as a "not murder". I think war is because some poor humans have to do it. Because of Propaganda and because why they get money for it and because the order of some other people.
impresionante, en momentos parece que esta uno en la pelicula, la musica que suena en esta parte de la pelicula es bestial unido a las imágenes, un 10.
this is the worst movie ever, I don't take any respect from the men that died or fought there. Ps God Keep North America Safe. Thanks to our Men in Uniform!
as you and others addressed, a bit long for a trailer. but it is excellent. well done. my only beef (this being my favorite film) --you completely avoid the role of private bell: his lines about the inherent, natural elegance of love speaks to the war/nature conflict on an entirely other level. it is key to malick's vision here. personally, i dont see how you can exclude that entire storyline. its a lot more profound than your typical war romance plot line and its a necessity to include
@kssoukup Thanks for your feedback. I didn't consciously avoid Bell or any of his ruminations, and I agree that his role is critical to what Malick is trying to convey. After all, it is Bell's silhouette that we see on the DVD cover! For what I was trying to do with this video, I just never found any scenes of his that fit. Of course I made this 4 years ago and would maybe do it a bit differently now :)
Hi entity, I actually made myself a Fan of the Directors Cut petition on Facebook! I really want to see Malick's original 6 hour cut of this magnificent film, and I'm sure many others do as well. Fingers crossed!!

@cometor38 I guess it's just more of a video tribute than a real tribute. I think it's great that so many people here understand that it's more than just a war film. Thanks for the feedback...
I think you should "cheapen" you trailer by doing a credit marquee at the end. Like, keep the music rolling against a black blackground, and flash up the names of the actors (or have that credits page with all that information, whether legible or not). :)
What an incredible story, I bought it after having rented it, and watch it about every six months. It helps to keep me grounded. The cast, characters and music are by far the best.
i loved this movie. Its a shame how my generation wouldn't give a damn about this movie unless it was like saving private ryan and had a lot of blood, guts, and explosions.
absolutely excellent... you honor Mr. Mallicks work with your interpretation. you end with my favorite bit of score from the film that was unreleased.... and you give new gravitas to the conversation between witt and sean penn's character. Which is the core of the film. Thanks for posting!
I'm glad you enjoyed this video. Yes, that end piece of music is fantastic, and I just don't get why it was never released on CD. You are also right about Welsh and Witt's conversation in the brig...it is a very important scene that shows how two different men view the world.
Not sure what the name of the song is. It was never featured on the soundtrack and I only used the audio from the actual film itself. It's a fantastic song!

@eldusto84 It's amazing. I've been searching the internet and can't even find the name of it. Would love an mp3 if you've got one. How were you able to separate the audio tracks?
@jpw4134 I also do not know the name of the song. I didn't separate the audio tracks either; I simply used the actual audio from the movie. It would be great if they released the FULL soundtrack since there are many other tracks that only appear in the film.
I sat with a gf back a few years.. told her this was a piece of art.. a few minutes into the movie before giving it a chance she said it's boring, not going anywhere and stupid. Guess she'll have to find another lawyer to waste the time of.
@deebadubbie haha Do i really? Can you reply link them to me? I mean.. If i did it now, i probably did it three years ago. its not bitter. Its just when i see this, a particular reminder comes to mind ;)
@methodicaltruth I feel your pain. I knew a gal who'd never seen The Godfather hard to believe, yet was a huge Al Pacino fan. When she finally saw it she gave up after the wedding saying what your gf said.

@DaCevkoch Thanks, I really wanted to make something that was closer to the actual film. A lot of great films are marketed poorly, like this one was. They made it out to be like Saving Private Ryan when the only thing the two films share is that they both take place during WWII...
eldusto84 1 year ago 5
@eldusto84
yeah i agree. but seriously, saving private ryan aint got nothing on the thin red line
no offense,(i dont know if youre american) but i thought SPR was a little bit too patriotical
they offered the viewers a lots of stereotypes i think. i thought the makers intended to show how unbeliebeble evil the germans were and that theyre all nazis.(sure, a lot of germans agreed with the nationalsozialistic ideologie)
and the thin red line really showed what happens in war, on both sides

If this movie had not come out around the same time as Saving Private Ryan or if it came out today I believe it would have win a lot of awards. It would probably win best film along with awards to Penn, Nolte and possibly Caviezel. The bottom line, no pun intended, is that this movie is an underated masterpiece.

I still wonder sometimes why Witt raised his rifle, instead of putting it down. Maybe he knew he was going to be killed anyway, or he couldn't handle being a prisoner. I'm not sure. Part of me also thinks that he was tired of this world, and just wanted to move on to the next one.
dharmajazzbum 1 year ago
@dharmajazzbum
Witt raises his rifle forcing the Japanese to give away their position in shooting him, making it possible for his unit to presumably escape. I don't think in this gesture Witt is running from life toward death, but is instead rather affirming life in a fundamental kind of way. In his death lies his companions salvation, it's an altruistic gesture, one in which he affirms an idealistic but attainable mode of existence in contrast to the cynical views of Welsh, dying spark intact.

@dharmajazzbum
Witt as the metaphysical subject is life affirming, nurturing, almost maternal. He sees transcendence, or the possibility of it, in "everydayness", in simply existing. Witt sees in us the possibility to make a beautiful world, he sees our better selves, he sees that "spark in us", despite the great evil surrounding him. Ultimately I think The Thin Red Line is Witt's movie. The darkness of the opening shot, (crocodile), isn't undone but transcended by the sprouting coconut. (end)
bandwidthy 1 year ago
@dharmajazzbum I think he came to the conclusion that there was no way out, the Japanese soldier makes some refrence to 'you being the one who killed my friend?', so they werent gonna give him an easy time I'd imagine if he simply surrendered, but, thats beside the point, like you say I think he finally found that inner calm, was content that he had achieved all he could and was ready to go.
CroppyBoy1798 1 year ago
@dharmajazzbum
i've read quite a few books about the PTO during WWII. It was a brutal and savage campaign. Witt know that both US and Jap forces took no quarter. He knew that if he attempted to 'surrender', the Japs would have made example of him to all other US troops that would have stumbled upon his remains. The Jap Imperial Marine actually did Witt a favor under the circumstances.

I don't think accuracy was all that important to Malick because the movie's version of the war is simply the means through which to ask the questions the movie wanted to ask. And that's perfectly okay.

Sturmmann 1 year ago
@Sturmmann This film is based on a novel by James Jones who actually fought in the battle the film is depicting. By the time the battle for Mount Austen took place the Marine Corps (as stated early on in the film) had "done their part".
I wouldn't say they were ignored, this film simply isn't about them. And there's not exactly a lack of films and series to chose from that exclusively covers the Marine Corps' in the Pacific Campaign and makes no mention of the Army.

Very well constructed trailer. One of the best war movies ever made. I did a critique of Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and Platoon. I would have liked to include this film but the three I listed were Vietnam commentaries. Perhaps I should do a review on this movie. The most poignant scene was when Penn stands over the grave of private 'Whitt', hiding tears and asking the proverbial question "where is your spark now". Truly a phenomenal movie.

Great film...THE BEST user made trailer I've seen anywhere, especially considering the length. Including Bell would have been nice but it'd be hard to find just a few short clips that could give you a glimpse of his character.
barbardme 1 year ago 4
@barbardme Thanks so much. Looking back on it, I probably should have included a clip or two with Bell in it but it was tough indeed to find a short enough clip to show his character's nature. That scene when he reads the letter from his wife is heartbreaking; one of the best scenes in the film honestly. Witt's demise was just more visually poetic so I chose to give that a lot of time in the trailer. Thanks again...

I can't believe, that this (WAR) is in every man (not in every woman) on this world. Sometimes we are aggressive because of our eggs, but i never ever want to kill some other man or woman. I will left this planet as a "not murder". I think war is because some poor humans have to do it. Because of Propaganda and because why they get money for it and because the order of some other people.

as you and others addressed, a bit long for a trailer. but it is excellent. well done. my only beef (this being my favorite film) --you completely avoid the role of private bell: his lines about the inherent, natural elegance of love speaks to the war/nature conflict on an entirely other level. it is key to malick's vision here. personally, i dont see how you can exclude that entire storyline. its a lot more profound than your typical war romance plot line and its a necessity to include
kssoukup 1 year ago
@kssoukup Thanks for your feedback. I didn't consciously avoid Bell or any of his ruminations, and I agree that his role is critical to what Malick is trying to convey. After all, it is Bell's silhouette that we see on the DVD cover! For what I was trying to do with this video, I just never found any scenes of his that fit. Of course I made this 4 years ago and would maybe do it a bit differently now :)

I think you should "cheapen" you trailer by doing a credit marquee at the end. Like, keep the music rolling against a black blackground, and flash up the names of the actors (or have that credits page with all that information, whether legible or not). :)
