The Thin Red Line Comments

    Great movie indeed. But the name Red Alert almost made me miss this good movie. Why are Chinese translations always so vulgar? Do we have vulgar genes? The general tone of western war films is to reflect on war, the tone is anti-war, and why our films are always...

    There is only a thin red line between sanity and madness. The soulful music and more beautiful scenery of the South Pacific in the first half of the film is nothing but an expression of great sympathy for those caught up in the brutal war in the second half. The red line is almost a kind of God's perspective. It is calm and compassionate to watch the torment and madness of both sides of the war and has a "concern without comment" tolerance. Its so-called reciprocal perspective and humanized...

    The war version of the Tree of Life, the way of thinking and some themes are in the same line, but not so obsessive~ Probably my favorite one of the films I have seen so far in Malick~ Many clips are quite oppressive and emotional, but sometimes The emotional mood has reached the point where the monologue is 15 minutes and it is inevitable to be hypocritical. It feels like it can be cut for at least half an hour~ Also, the big cast is blinding~ Besides, the memories of the wife are all good...

    The Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II, the dialogue is indeed as described in the introduction, almost esoteric, the war is very cruel... I just ordered the original book from Zhuoyue, and I look forward to it when it...

    [Exhibition at the China Film Archive] Film version. Photography is excellent. Especially the part of attacking the ridge, which slides smoothly over the grass, which is very amazing. This movie should be seen in the cinema! (It's easy to fall asleep while watching the computer) It's still a very "Tronsu" style. Stream-of-consciousness raving monologues and empty footage. Like the war version of The Tree of Life. In Terrence's films, a strong cast becomes a supporting role, not as important as...

    A capital horror, the cycle of waiting and fighting, which lasted only three hours on screen, was truly terrifying, but it was poignantly accompanied by stunning photography. The natural light leaks through the dense jungle, and the very labelled Malick lens is easily recognizable. Gathering a number of superstars and cutting out the popular little fresh meat scenes without any hesitation, not every director is called Terrence. 0808...

    University, video? I watched it again on CCTV-6 at midnight on February 3, 2009. The 4 stars were reduced to 3. It is too rigid to use the narration to reflect on the war. Can't the plot and the picture speak for...

    The language of the shots is first-rate, and the length of the film is unbearable. The three-hour stream of consciousness and two battles do not really feel profound. In terms of roles, except for Caviezel's Pvt.Witt, which is quite amazing, the all-star lineup is simply a lineup, and there is no difference in changing the whole set. A local battle on Guadalcanal Island has tossed out a thin red line, think about making a Peleliu version or Iwo Jima version in this...

    Maybe only Terrence Malick has the ability to make this group of big-name stars shine. All you see are his movies and the thoughts he wants to express. There is no role, because the movie itself is the biggest role. "The Thin Red Line" is perhaps the most poetic of war movies, codifying human fears and the irrationality of war into poetry that is incredibly real, impartial, and...

    Never watch war movies

    The thin red line, although I don't quite understand why it has such a strange name, what does it represent, bloody, slender life? I have no idea.
    It took me a while to watch the film and also read some of the comments from Douyou.
    Record some sporadic feelings:
    this is simply an American-style 83...

The Thin Red Line quotes

  • Private Witt: [narration] Who are you to live in all these many forms? Your death that captures all. You, too, are the source of all that's gonna be born. Your glory. Mercy. Peace. Truth. You give calm a spirit, understanding, courage. The contented heart.

  • Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: You feel like a son to me, John. You know what my son does? He's a bait salesman.
