I've heard thousands of instrumental tracks in my lifetime and this track, "LIGHT" by Hans Zimmer is my number 1 favorite. My favorite segment of this track is from 2:54 to 5:58
Absolutely beautiful. Did anyone else notice that the climax of this song is similar to Whitacre's Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold). Is that a coincidence? Either way it is a masterpiece.
in may 2011 comes terrence malicks new film "the tree of life", i really look forward for this one. even when you watch the trailer, some things reminds you on the thin red line.
The Thin Red Line didn't get the recognition it deserved because it stands out from what we usually expect from a movie about war. To the action-loving majority of the audience, "Saving Private Ryan" or "Flags of Our Fathers" have more commercial success.
All of them tries to display the unglorious aspects of war, but it gets lost somewhere down the long line of action. Thank you Malick for this masterpiece, it is not patriotic or overly dramatic. It simply is the best.
This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed to this night? ...these words encapsulate the futility that is war!
I once thought war was a battle to conquer over something like land, area etc. My friends thought war was fun, but I thought war is horrible. But even if it's horrible, I'll have to fight for my own country bravely. But once I've confronted a armless enemy soldiers, I just can't finish him off. What if I shoot him in his head, which he has all the memories when he was a kid, his wife, his son or daughter. What if he was me? I just can't kill him. Now I know how it feels to be killed in a war....
@MariusKobbel, I was 7 when this movie came out. I'm 19 now, and the only reason I found this is because of Hans Zimmer. I'm going to watch this movie now, and tell my friends to watch it as well. Maybe it was ahead of its time, but now I think it would be perfect, just like this music.
@Dgrownman I had that same nostalgic feeling now when i'm older .. when I was 7 .. i went to watch it for the first time when it came out in cinemas back in 1998, i diden't quite understood it, found it boring. Looking back now, and re-watching it for the 3rd time, i found the true meaning it was trying to convey, I felt my heart was at peace knowing that i have came across such a wonderful poetic film.
Oh, there is humanity among the wounded and dying reaching feebly out stretched or cramped in their numbness of twisted pain. I held my fellow comrade, my friend, convulsing with ejaculation of breath until he became a memory in a nightmarish hell of the natural glistening jungle. 1968.
@MaThoSch Wikileaks helped altered the fate of the world. But apperently Julian Assange was bribed by Israel officals to not release any diplomatic cables about them and the US. Looks like Mossad did a good job at intimidation. Once agian our world is in the cloud of darkness.
Really an extraordinary film and an amazing piece of music to go with it.
The film really delves into the individual feelings and emotions of the combatants. In war, everyman is a casualty. Whether or not a soldier loses his life, his innocence and psychological health is gone forever. He never again looks at the world the way he did before War. And there is nothing in this world that will make him forget it.
War is not about who wins or loses, rather who loses the least.
The scene where the americans storm the Japanese hq/village/huts/barracks?? and one of the Japanese soldiers has his arms stretched out towards both sides and is screaming for both sides to stop killing eachother.........Ive always rememberd him and wonderd about why he was doing that.
This Movie is Terrence Malicks trial to find humanity in war...he failed, because there is no humanity. But its the most epic and touching failure in history of motion pictures! Watch this Movie. And think about the message! Brilliant.
Elias Koteas as Capt. James 'Bugger' Staros was my favorite, and this is also my favorite piece of music in the movie. "You are my sons, and I'll keep you wherever i go". I think that's what he says. Favorite movie too, truly a piece of art,
"Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth? "
This film is poetry in motion, Ive never seen another that comes close. They tried to do the same thing with the New World but that one fell flat for me.
I however dont have such a fatalistic view of its message as it seems most do. Yes, war is horrible. Yes, men can be horrible to each other. But it is during those times when we most see what is good and beautiful about us, what is worth fighting for.
I never took this as an anti-war movie, but as the most realistic war movie Ive seen.
Awesome track to an awesome movie. The Thin Red Line is one of the best World War II movies ever made. It shows the moral side of war other than just awesome combat scenes, which in my opinion, is what most war movies lack.
This movie was a masterpiece. No anti war movie out there comes close to the message like this one. It was about the soldiers and what happens to a seemingly average man put in an extraordinary situation. Life is too beautiful to waste on fighting over "property" as Sean Penn said. Everyone who worked on this film should give themselves a pat on the back. WELL DONE!!!!!
wow, 3:38-5:40 just grabs at my soul. I picture the part where the soldier is crying in the rain and throws the bag of teeth to the ground. Also the part where the guy(forgot his name) and the lady are on the swing. epic movie!!!

Agree with most of the comments here. Malick showed us the beauty of the world we live in alongside the horror and banality of war. The scene where they enter the village for me captures the complete chaos and absurdity of war like no other film has ever been able to do.
This is one of those movies that was perfect and most people don't like it because they expected some kind of action extravaganza, and it came out right around the same time as Saving Private Ryan, which was a great movie but wasn't working at the metaphysical level that this movie was.
hopefully in time it'll be seen as one of the great war movies. I think what usually throws people off is the length of the movie, and it took me till the second or third time i watched it to really appreciate it. Just a genius piece of work from Mallick.
No movie has ever touched me on such a level before. I m sad that the movie didn`t get the recognition it deserve. Noone of my friends appreciate the movie, but im ok with that. Kinda makes it my own
It's not just a movie, it's a way of thought; existentialism. People think differently and have a different philosophy towards life, that's why they don't appreciate this movie.
@TheStreetFabulous Is actualy quite comom most people didnt like this movie is quite obivious why most people dont apreciate.Most people dont like movies that make you think and so philosophical and deep as this one I mean you think that teens that love the violence and pure fiction of gore of Saving Private Ryan would appreacite this? For me this movie the best WWII movie out there is trully a masterpiece
I totally know what you mean. I always show friends this movie but they usually are indifferent. For some reason it makes it all the more special to me. weird.
@MariusKobbel Try watching Brotherhood - a Korean film about the North/South war. Pretty touching and moving if that's what you're after. I highly recommend it.
@MariusKobbel I definitely appreciate The Thin Red Line. It is an incredible film that is the landscape of the human soul. It it a different kind of War Film. One that mirrors the harsh realities of war.
First time I watched this I was 13 and I was not amture enough to get this. i was like "aw man wheres all the 'splosions'
i wish i could slap my younger self.. anyhow, when i watched it again in September 2010 (18 years old) I couldnt sleep that night. This movie hit me that hard.
yes indeed. i was like 15 when i saw it the first time and i found it so boring in compare to saving private ryan. WTH i was thinking about. for half a year i saw the DVD really cheap in a store, so i gave it a change to watch it again. and it was sundy evening and i didnt want watch the whole movie because i start to work early in the morning. good god i saw the whole movie till early morning and it was so amazing and dramatic at the same time.
@TheLuri89 that was exactly what I did.. I watched it when I was 14/15 thinking it would be Private Ryan in the Pacific, and was disappointed, but then I watched it again a couple of years later and just appreciated it for what it was. It has got that spiritual dimension to almost every scene, and the soundtrack is just amazing, it's like a long meditation. And I love Witt's contemplations and just the existential questioning of war and evil. It is to this day my favourite movie of all time
I agree on to the extent that it was a beautiful movie on war, but it was clearly anti-war regarding the whole theme, but also learning how to live without any control over what goes on
Some people still remain convinced that Zimmer is not able to produce emotional scores... He has proven that wrong so many times and this is one of the greatest examples of it. When I first listened it, its pureness just grasped me.
Does anyone know which religious stance Zimmer takes?
Like I say for Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and other great films like these alike, I say the youth of today should just stop for a second and take a walk. I want them to know how good they have it. No fear of anything. Everyday is beautiful. Then they should watch The Thin Red Line. It's because of the men portrayed in the film that we do what we do today, and most of it is what we take for granted.
R.I.P. Robert Morrissey (My Grandfather that fought on Okinawa).
Seems that you know so much about me. I guess I am not entitled to forming my own opinion in regards to religious matters. I find it silly that you come in here and judge the mental integrity of others based on their personal views. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, have you heard that oh wise one? Now you run along now, and continue to use religion as a closet for your imperfections. As a matter of fact, I think this a wonderfully composed song.
This entire soundtrack brings me close to God. I wish I could bottle the feeling the music gives me and give it to everyone I know. Zimmer nailed this one.
feel the same. not everyboday can be ready for that kind of honest feeling. I found some in a recent trip to the US. those new friends "live inside me now, forever" like it is so genuinely said in the movie... peace & compassion to all. Feel blessed for what you can see - who ever you are.
u realize god is not a being personified...humanistic like u and me. u reallize god is literally everything. the earth you me...the cosmos....and once understand this harmony u are at peace. what more can u ask for.
No other film has affected my life like this one. I cried because the music was beyond perfection and the reality beyond even my worst nightmares.
If this film does not leave a sense of sadness and numbness to how fragile we are and how helpless we are from those who dictate the rules....nothing on this beautiful blue planet will.
@bigmadbad If the music from a movie affects people this way, I often wonder how people would feel had they been to these places...like when he reads the letter. It's devastating in real life.
@bigmadbad You might be big, but you do not seem mad or bad. You sound like a decent and caring individual and this sad and beautiful world would do well with more people like you.
@bigmadbad There's another Korean War movie worth watching, Tae Guk Gi Brotherhood Of War. It is the same as the movie thin red line. The Koreans are good at making emotional movies.
can anyone please tell me the name of the song in the thin red line where they invade the small village and during the invasion the songs kicks in while they are burning the place etc. havent seen the movie in a while but i reckon its about 1 hr or more into the movie, thanks
Nas viagens k fiz, senti o mar, tokei no topo, rasguei o mito, resgatei a ilusão, venci o medo, perdi-te a ti...
Desde então k te procuro por entre as nuvens no ceu, nas gotas dos oceanos, nas celulas da vida, no oxigenio do mundo, nas particulas do universo... Ardua tarefa a minha, somente para encontrar tamanho amor, perdido por descuido num ponto cardeal qualquer...
Imagine you are on this island. Imagine you make a pause, sitting there with them, laugh now. Imagine you during this war ... Just beautiful and hypnotizing. <3
they melanesian choir songs are on a CD called "Chants from the Thin Red Line" by Melanesian Choirs: The Blessed Islands. The songs used in The Thin Red Line are sung by the Choir of All Saints. The songs are: "Jisas Yu Hand Blong Mi," "Soon My Lord," or . "God Yu Tekkem Laef Blong Mi"
lovely music. love what you've done with each background to each song. fits perfectly with the music. kudos

Sheer beauty... the pace and pathos of the entire film... extraordinarily summed up in pieces like this.
Bell:
"We were a family.
How'd it break up and come apart?
So that now we're turned against each other.
Each standing in the other's light.
How did we lose the good that was given us? Let it slip away? Scatter it careless? What's keeping us from reaching out? Touching the glory?"

I agree on to the extent that it was a beautiful movie on war, but it was clearly anti-war regarding the whole theme, but also learning how to live without any control over what goes on

Some people still remain convinced that Zimmer is not able to produce emotional scores... He has proven that wrong so many times and this is one of the greatest examples of it. When I first listened it, its pureness just grasped me.
Does anyone know which religious stance Zimmer takes?

Like I say for Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and other great films like these alike, I say the youth of today should just stop for a second and take a walk. I want them to know how good they have it. No fear of anything. Everyday is beautiful. Then they should watch The Thin Red Line. It's because of the men portrayed in the film that we do what we do today, and most of it is what we take for granted.

Seems that you know so much about me. I guess I am not entitled to forming my own opinion in regards to religious matters. I find it silly that you come in here and judge the mental integrity of others based on their personal views. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, have you heard that oh wise one? Now you run along now, and continue to use religion as a closet for your imperfections. As a matter of fact, I think this a wonderfully composed song.

This entire soundtrack brings me close to God. I wish I could bottle the feeling the music gives me and give it to everyone I know. Zimmer nailed this one.
drbrunch 2 years ago 14
feel the same. not everyboday can be ready for that kind of honest feeling. I found some in a recent trip to the US. those new friends "live inside me now, forever" like it is so genuinely said in the movie... peace & compassion to all. Feel blessed for what you can see - who ever you are.

No other film has affected my life like this one. I cried because the music was beyond perfection and the reality beyond even my worst nightmares.
If this film does not leave a sense of sadness and numbness to how fragile we are and how helpless we are from those who dictate the rules....nothing on this beautiful blue planet will.

Nas viagens k fiz, senti o mar, tokei no topo, rasguei o mito, resgatei a ilusão, venci o medo, perdi-te a ti...
Desde então k te procuro por entre as nuvens no ceu, nas gotas dos oceanos, nas celulas da vida, no oxigenio do mundo, nas particulas do universo... Ardua tarefa a minha, somente para encontrar tamanho amor, perdido por descuido num ponto cardeal qualquer...

And always, the sea, there. I go down in the night and I hear you come flying, under water, alone, under the sea that inhabits me darkly:
you come flying.
I listen for wings and your slow elevation,
while the torrents of all who have perished assail me, blind doves flying sodden:
you come flying.
You come flying, alone, in your solitude,
alone with the dead, alone in eternity,
shadowless, nameless, you come flying
without sweets, or a mouth, or a thicket of roses, you come flying.

Where is it that we were together?
Who were you that I lived with?
The brother. The friend.
Darkness, light.
Strife and love.
Are they the workings of one mind? The features of the same face?
Oh, my soul. Let me be in you now.
Look out through my eyes.
Look out at the things you made. All things shining.
