But tonight I saw it.
"The Thin Red Line", I have long known that it is a classic in World War II movies.
I'll admit, I was drawn to the Blu-ray-like quality at first, then Witt's (Jim Caviezel's) big aqua-blue eyes caught me, and then I found John T. Lavolta, Sean Penn, John Cusack (with George Bruni behind!) and Adrien Brody, they were all so young back then! Then, it was the soundtrack of the movie that attracted me. After checking, it turned out to be Hans Zimmer, no wonder.
Compared with the award-winning "Saving Private Ryan" in the same year, "The Thin Red Line" has a more complex and profound theme.
One can't help but ask the question, under those extreme conditions, do you choose warmth or killing?
A large number of such as "Ender's Game", "Nanjing! Nanjing! "The same film is full of lust for the beautiful humanity of the enemy. The author of the novel, or the
editor of the film, wishful thinking, captured the warm side of the enemy and showed it: the queen of the wormhole in "An" showed her favor, and the Japanese soldier in "Nan" who would rather be beaten than kill... . If we look for it, we can find many more.
But it is far from the analysis of "The Thin Red Line", and it is not as vividly displayed as "The Walking Dead". In the film, the Japanese soldiers who shuddered and looked terrified like animals, the Japanese soldiers who giggled madly, and Wales who were more afraid of their wives being kidnapped than died in the war were all human.
Well, I know, you'll be superficially thinking that I'm only talking about human nature in war. So let's see what kind of thinking "The Walking Dead" gives us. Under the zombie apocalypse, will you be Sean or Rick? Well, if you don't know the difference, I can tell you: Sean shot his companions running behind in order to escape, attracting the attention of the zombies; Rick, in order to save the others, told Glenn to drive Sound the siren car to divert the walking dead, and return to save the others.
Having said that, I recall the words in the opening monologue of "The Thin Red Line": Do darkness and light, hatred and love come from the same heart and face?

Why is "JOURNEY TO THE LINE" named Journey to the line? In that clip there is a kind of compassion, compassion for the US military who prevailed at that time, compassion for the frenzied Japanese army .
Warmth or Killing? The Thin Red Line says we all have this red thread, but for me, I'm quite honest, maybe I really can't do it.
This time, when I went to Nanjing, the first stop was the Holocaust Memorial Hall. I was very calm, not only because I had learned a lot of relevant knowledge before, but also because war is war, and there is animal nature in human nature - Jiading Santu in the late Ming Dynasty , The tragedy in the Cultural Revolution is not much warmer than the historical facts displayed in this memorial hall - he just lets you see what you want you to see.
What we want to ask is: why does human nature alienate? In that case, would you alienate?
At least I know that I can't. Maybe I'll be the American soldier in "The Thin Red Line" who used pliers to pull out the teeth of the Japanese army as a trophy. Maybe I can't be as ruthless and selfish as Sean, but I can't be as ruthless as Rick. itself.
