Someone recommended it in the pacific's post, and the Battle of Guadalcan also appeared in the pacific. To be honest I hate films that are longer than 50 minutes now. Obviously, it can be finished in 50 minutes. If it takes so long, the screenwriting skills are not good.

The opening scene is the scene of the tropical forest, which is quite intimacy, and I have also wandered in the tropical rain forest.

Those Aboriginal kids are so cute. Bathing, boating, playful, peaceful life by the sea. The mother holding the child smiled so beautifully. The scene of them cooking reminded me of my childhood in a stockade. The warship came, and the people in the stockade all retreated.

in this world, a man himself is nothing.
I seen another world.

The hero's memories alternate with reality.

Confessions of different characters
do you fear it?
yes sir.
Soldiers talk about fear and fear.

why should I be fear to die?
I belong to you.

if i go first, I'll be wait for you there.

be with me now. It

was such a chaotic scene when charging, and kept saying MOVE. Read the bible in the boat. The young faces are full of fear, anxiety, and unknown.

what are you live in the many of forms?

The face, lips, beauty of a lover in memory.

A group of soldiers walked for a long time in the jungle and found two white men dead. Soldiers crowded around, expressionless. Death sees too much, that's the same thing.

Back at the camp, the wounded were either being rescued, or the priest was giving them his last blessing. Dust to dust. Earth to Earth.

The scenes here are well handled, the soundtrack is very soothing, with the male protagonist next to it, lingering, questioning, questioning, and thinking about the meaning of war. By the gurgling stream, the soldiers washing their hair, the sun is shining obliquely, the picture is very beautiful.

When the boss was assigning tasks, a company commander or a platoon commander asked, what about the soldiers' drinking water. The boss said, one time when you worry about soldiers, you are some kinds of bitches.

Someone acridine, the soundtrack of this film is very atmospheric, and every time we look for the background, it is very small. Pay attention to acridine.

The camera is switched to the natural environment, there is no war by the river, a peaceful, distant sunset, covering the entire sky, all the way to the mountain. But the good times didn't last long, and the artillery began to bombard. Beautiful, it's over.

The soldiers waiting for the charge were uneasy. One soldier took out a small photo of his lover and stroked it.

we're no choice. we're picked.

A soldier couldn't stand up because he was too nervous.

After 2 soldiers were killed, the distant view, the wind blowing through the fields, and the sun. The pace here is slow. Quickly switched to the bombing scene, full of blood, tongues of fire, and screams. Then there is the distant view, the artillery fire all over the mountains and plains. If someone wants to shoot big scenes in the future, this switch is very important.

I killed a man. worse than rape.


N soldiers died in order to drag a shot soldier back.

property! what fucks about property.

In fact, this film is not bad about war scenes and reflections, if you compare it with films such as field platoons and war apocalypse.

phone call scene.

The company commander called the commander, and the commander said, I'm giving you an order, you must call. The company commander said, sorry, I refuse your order. A soldier next to him told the company commander that he was not discussing with you, but giving you an order. The commander said angrily, this is war, not acting. The company commander said, you are asking us all to die.

who's deciding whose gonna live? who's deciding whose gonna die?

This is futile.

The Thin Red Line quotes

  • Lt. Col. Gordon Tall: The only time you should start worrying about a soldier is when they stop bitchin'.

  • First Sgt. Edward Welsh: Everything a lie... Everything you hear, everything you see... So much to spew out... They just keep coming, one after another... You're in a box... A moving box... They want you dead, or in their lie. Only one thing a man can do - find something that's his, and make an island for himself. If I never meet you in this life, let me feel the lack; a glance from your eyes, and my life will be yours.
