About this product

Product Information

Terrence Malick returns to Hollywood after a two-decade hiatus with this adaptation of the classic WWII novel by James Jones. The story follows the efforts of an army platoon to capture the Japanese-controlled island of Guadalcanal in the Pacific Ocean, which will have a major effect on the outcome of the war. The members of C-for-Charlie Company are all fighting for different reasons: Some to achieve glory, some to fight for democracy, and some simply to remain alive. They spend the quieter moments reflecting upon their existence, searching for meaning amid the senselessness of war.<BR>Malick's reputation as one of cinema's most brilliant directors, based on his masterworks BADLANDS and DAYS OF HEAVEN, enabled him to pull together one of the largest ensemble all-star casts in Hollywood history. The result is a sprawling epic that carries itself like a poem read in a dream, a feeling that is greatly enhanced by John Toll's floating camerawork and Hans Zimmer's haunting score. Rather than concentrating solely on the violence and destruction of war, Malick uses the situation to address philosophical questions such as man versus nature, war versus peace, and good versus evil. THE THIN RED LINE proves that after a 20-year layoff, Malick hasn't lost a step.

Reviews
USA Today - "...Terrence Malick's first movie since 1978's DAYS OF HEAVEN is just as sensual, subliminally stirring and magnificently photographed..." -- 4 out of 4 stars, Total Film - "...[A] masterpiece of poetic flourish and grand ambition..." -- 4 out of 5 stars, Sight and Sound - ...An extraordinary achievement....THE THIN RED LINE is hugely effective as a film about the absurdity of war..., New York Times - ...[Malick's] intoxication with natural beauty, fused so palpably with the psychic sleepwalking of his human characters, remains exactly as it was....Here is a visceral reminder of all that made his past work so hauntingly majestic..., Rolling Stone - ...Malick's return is a cause for celebration. His harsh, haunting film shuns the platitudes to expose war as a crime against nature...

All works fine and matches description. Packaged well (Although Royal Mail still managed to break case in transit) and dispatched fairly quickly too. Excellent seller I would suggest and would use again no problem.

Apologies for my late feedback. Item delivered on time & as described - you can tell it's an old tape but it still plays well. I enjoyed the film very much. It's nice to see a film about disaffected youth that actually tells their stories, rather than being a comment on society, parenting, etc., and the cast were universally excellent, too. I highly recommend this film & feel lucky to have found a copy. Terrific service. Am more than happy to recommend seller, too. Thanks very much.

  • The best Second World War film you will ever see

    On the whole I do not go for War films - I actually only bought it because Jim Caviezel is in it - but this was a beautiful film. It's not all gung-ho and bravado, it is thought-provoking and seen through the eyes of the young men doing the fighting. The fear, pain and thoughts are laid bare before you. Jim Caviezel's character is wonderful and the narrations complete the scenes. A lot of the dialogue was cut and this is definitely a case of less is more. Volumes are spoken through eyes and faces.

  • great movies thanks

    hi...i bought this dvd for a friend ......a great movie thanks ...iv asked my friend about wot he thinks ....his reply .....a fab movie to add to his collection ...

  • The Thin Red Line

    A sprawling masterpiece about some American soldiers fighting die-hard Japanese troops on a Pacific island in WW2. Some of the star names involved make just fleeting appearances but Nick Nolte is memorable as a gung-go colonel. Directed by Terrence Malick, whose movies are always as jaw-droppingly beautiful to watch (The New World, Days of Heaven etc) as they are dramatically powerful. But if you love blood and guts war films with lots of bang bang bangs, forget this treasure: it is a poet's vision of the hell of war.
