The Thin Red Line Melanesian Choirs

1999 - Best movie about the effects and trauma of war in the hearts, minds and total psyche of a soldier or Marine ever made. While the movie's backdrop is the Battle of Guadalcanal WW2, it is rather the background narrative voice representing what the Marines think, feel, yearn for and fear, whilst in the heat of battle, that makes this a must-see movie for anyone wishing to understand the trauma that goes with fighting in a war. As a bonus,some of the most enchanting music you may ever hear..

@StonewallJackson26 This scene is on Youtube as "DELETED SCENE FROM THIN RED LINE (WITH MICKEY ROURKE)".

@punipunipunisher I wonder when they'll ever come out with the Directors Cut. I would love to see what that has to offer. The Navy was defeated originally around Guatalcanal in the campaigns initial phases, and was forced to vacate the landing zones. So the Marines also fought without being resupplied.

@StonewallJackson26 Some "mop up" it was :)

But yeah, the Japanese forces who had survived the Marines were exhuasted by fatigue, hunger and disease (compare with the new Japanese troops at the end of the film).

There's a cool unused scene in the film featuring a crazed Marine sniper who has stayed behind to fight his own war along with his native guide, and this guy looks as bad as those Japs. He was played by Mickey Rourke.

@punipunipunisher The Marines fought for 3 months straight by themselves. I am guessing this film is based on the 23rd Infantry Division, sent there for "mop up" operations.

Soldiers. They replaced the Marines there.
