The film starts with a ferocious crocodile at the top of the food chain going into the water, and ends with a
crocodile tied
up (maybe dead, there is no explicit mention, it should be cut by the director... However, it makes no difference if it dies or not.) A
group of American soldiers The attack on the mountaintop base of the Japanese army began, and the victory ended... Oh, no, it was another battlefield to end....
But the "protagonist" Werther at the beginning really died. That's it - the sneaky soldier who fled to the indigenous island, Private Witt Witt who was supposed to be tried by a military court - a human being, at the top of the food chain on Earth, surrounded by the Japanese army, did not lay down his weapons as a prisoner, his eyes were blank ,died. Captain Gaff took the initiative to attack, although he was not very interested in Thor's war medal....
However, the local indigenous people watched their war more blankly. Colorful parrots, living ignorantly...
However, when Colonel Thor Tall urged Captain Gaff to chase the Japanese army without water, he said "Nature is hard" (well, probably It is the western version of Lao Tzu's "heaven and earth are not benevolent")
...even in this green and lively rainforest;
...even the human at the top of the biological chain - the human who can play with crocodiles to death, will suffer " Unnecessary death" - war, slaughter of the same kind.
The towering ancient trees of the virgin forest are completely covered by climbing vines, sucking and kissing its sap. This is also a war, a static war. In the end, it will be symbiotic or communal death. Who will fall first?
...Well, the Japanese army's position has been taken down, and it can be advanced to the Japanese army airfield... The Japanese army has fallen... 'We' stand the
essence of
life, which was originally an endless war, and deserters Werther, having seen the primitive tribes fighting in silence with nature, figured it out and asked for Charles Company, who was transferred from the ambulance team back to the front line. He knew that war was inevitable.
Is not it? Even children beat clams for meat... fragile clams....
but the other soldiers are still running away, hesitating.... procrastination... stomachache... until When facing the Japanese army face-to-face with no way to escape, did he rise up to kill, only then did he "have no turning back"! ! !
Stark said: The towering ancient tree is also directly facing the "attack" of the climbing vine, the silent and endless attack - the war for the right to exist.
Whether passive or active, it must be faced - no grand strategy, no lofty ideals, . . . all the time - face.
Even at home, "My dad beat me up", "My dad hit me with a stone, I hid in the chicken coop for the night and didn't dare to come out" ---- On the boat, an unknown private Eun Pan, excitedly, told...
Sean Pan, out of seeing through reality.... or numbness, continued to shave and asked his name...
The war for the right to live, no Everywhere...well, even in one's own home....
wars and goals
this...this...presumably for "better survival"?
Didn't Bell receive a letter from his wife and want to divorce and marry again?
For the sake of better survival --- "I feel so alone" "I can't take it anymore".
...We work to earn money to go home and turn on the air conditioner, and it's not just for a better life.... It's just... It's just...
--- Although his wife knows, "I don't have the right to say that to you", but she still Saying so...
But Sean Penn said to Werther: "(The war) is all about property!"
- This war, the means for the country to survive better, is that they (not "we"), "we" are just fighting for the right to exist.
—— For Bell’s wife, property is the husband, the husband is by his side, and the husband provides the tools to relieve loneliness- It is to provide a better living space-“'You' did not give me...”
This is Letters are also a form of war. Moreover, this is a "sniper from behind", and it is a personal attack, or even an internal attack. There is no response, and there is no time to react - it's over! ! ! ! ! !
Suddenly remembering that in the red tide storm, in the dining hall of the administrators, Kim Hokman said to Dansu Washington and other leaders:
war is another form of political extension - the great war theorist von Clausewitz
"War is a continuation of politics by other means." - Von Clausewitz
can't estimate, this movie, in "The Thin Red Line
"...extends war...to the family.... ...to the spouse -- Bell's wife
...Life, turns out to be a continuation of war, and family, part (or all?) of life, is also a battlefield -- a bloodless, static battlefield.
Overcome the fear
of people, there is inertia - tomorrow's things, most people do not want to do today.
When the Japanese enemies were not directly confronted, they were distant targets, illusory concepts, and then "we" were all very scared and tried to delay as much as possible.
When it comes to direct hand-to-hand combat, there is no time to fear, and there is no problem to overcome... Because, the right to survive is shaken... Werther figured it out... The
big tree faced the climbing vine, Will it be afraid? What about the bound crocodile?
God, why?
Did the heaven choose "us" as the master of the earth? "We" dominate all living things? ——Including humans themselves...?
However, the sky also dominates the mutual slashing of all "us" creatures, asking us to face endless war and death?
-Whether it is a dynamic or static war
- whether it is actively provoked or passively involved... must be faced, why?
The climbing vines are expanding on the giant trees; our "enemies" are also expanding...
Even the children - the four indigenous children, smashing shell meat with stones - attacking other creatures... right to life? Has entered the instinct...? .....
When the children play, they are also fighting - war...
Werther, who constantly reflects on the war, asked the indigenous mother: "The kids don't attack each other. The kids don't fight....? "
Yes, when they are playing, they fight."
The seeds of war, the seeds of "a better life", are the instincts of living beings - instincts bestowed by the sky, flowing in the living beings. in blood.
Heaven gave them and our lives, and gave them and our dangerous, life-threatening threats, why?
"I" is just asking, not excited... Asking blankly....
Because, in the face of all this, in the face of you - heaven, "I" feel that I am insignificant...
Heaven and earth are inhumane... .....Sages are not benevolent, and take the common people as dogs......
Xiaoyao School, Ding Chunqiu, Azi, abide by the law of the jungle, competition-oriented, and the master is the "father", in Jin Yong's "Eight Dragons" In the writing, it is a heresy, a ruthless, a cult, a crime............(?)
Cao Cao's legalist act... Because of the ruthless enforcement of the law, in the Become a traitor in Romance...
There is an endless competition between the Harry Potter school clubs - the essence of British education? Coping with the Law of the Jungle?
Cruelty, lynching, trampling on the weak in Japanese movies "Confession" and "Lily Chow"...
God, please tell me, what is right, what is wrong, and why?
...... How can it be matched to stabilize "I"'s right to exist?

Thin red line:
In the Napoleonic era, the British army in red, lined up in a row to face the enemy, obeying the rhythm of the snare drum and marching toward the enemy, blocking bullets and shells, and marching on the corpses of teammates. In the eyes of Napoleon's army, it is a thin red line in the distance (Thin Red Line). This is the scene in Mel Gibson's "Patriot" and countless old British war films.
Thor was on the phone and ordered Stade to use this method - to move forward to withstand the fire of artillery fire, as if dying... Cold-blooded, steady steps on the corpses of his companions, according to the rhythm of military music, to move forward... ....
and Stark refuses: Individual life is a priority for
Colonel Thor: follow the express, implied by Zun Trawater (the general) (for the good of the United States as a whole, for the well-being of the next generation) - "you" must make the necessary sacrifices.
-------------------------------------------------- --------
Director Terrence is an American director who grew up surrounded by Texas ranchers (although he works in the oil industry). To understand how they think, you must contact the history of American pioneering ...
Americans are immigrants from Europe, inheriting the traditional carnivorous ethnic group of half herdsmen and half farming (the East, especially China and India, are the traditions of farmers and herders, and rice is the staple food).
In the Western era, they became "lonely" Nomadic peoples - individuals far from their neighbors
- they face nature's war on an individual basis, alone, day and night, even within the family. ........Static and dynamic war against nature.....not even like the Australian aborigines who take villages and families as their living units (just like China's villages and ethnic groups as living units to fight against natural enemies together) , foreign enemies), life in close contact with each other. Therefore, the individual against nature is always the blood of Americans in the narrow sense.
Americans in a narrow sense, like Terrence Malick, and like the director of "Straw Dogs" who lived on the ranch. Texas is one of the most tenacious states that emphasizes that everyone must have a gun (US firearms laws). ——There is something in the blood, that is, the "normal", never-ending confrontation
with the "Americans" who immigrated to the United States after World War II. They have no sense of these confrontations with nature.
The director is reflecting on and philosophizing the subconscious of "endless war, endless strife" -- explaining the origin of their laws, religions and beliefs.
The film accepts and tries to convince the audience that 'this is normal life every day', and should face conflicts, fights, wars, and even death with a "common heart" like Werther's death! No emotion! - Even father and son couples are.
——Sampan tried to rescue his wounded comrades and returned to the team under
fire Heart to face death!
—— And the "normal mind" that I understand is Buddhist, which treats the expansion of others with a peaceful mind, ... ahem ... East and West, on the contrary, implement the normal mind.
-------------------------------------- ——Going
to church is their weekly focus Social life, active and passive conversion to Christ, and biblical teachings are the only "laws" for them to face the world and domestic violence alone, and the only way they can survive alone. Traditional Chinese literati look forward to seclusion, and Americans (as do Europeans) yearn for socializing, and the roots are different.
(It’s too heavy, and it’s easy and relaxed: Europeans and Americans yearn for social interaction, and use this rare opportunity to show their beautiful side, dress ceremoniously, and express their posture, which is the result of the sparsely populated area and the advocacy of strength. European and American women like to expose their style. Clothing is also an opportunity to "show beautiful reproductive equipment" - this is just the opposite of the Chinese tradition of resisting exposure and covering up the figure as much as possible. Incomplete statistics, the fertility of Europeans and Americans is lower than that of Chinese)
-------------------------------------------------- ----
The source of the old American soldiers, mostly from the two poorest inland provinces (forgot the exact name), so most of the war movies, the soldiers have these accents (like Kentucky, Ohio... Not sure ), in addition to the above-mentioned characteristics of religion and pasture, they also have a tragic feeling of fighting against nature and approaching the fate of serfs (An officer and a gentleman officer and gentleman, the light sadness of the love between the two, comes from this), right The feeling of life is completely different from the hedonistic style of American urbanites.
