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.

ReviewsUSA 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...

  • Masterpiece

    Ranks as one of the very best films about war. Reflecting between the inhumanity of what man can do to one another, with the beauty, peace and tranquility surrounding them outside the battleground. The star cast only adds to this, with superb portrayals of real depth and individuality. Terence Malik's greatest film.
