Jim Caviezel is one of the most underrated actors in my opinion. Guy deserved an Oscar for this film.

[@thepetmaster3900]

Yes

[@zyzor]

That look in Witt’s eyes when he knows he’s going to die. He doesn’t fight it, he accepts it and like all of us, there’s the look of momentary surprise that THIS is it.

[@zyzor]

I like how the camera pans up to the sun in the trees, indicating that he’s crossed over, then we see him with the villagers.

[@marvinkem3201]

Indeed. but I would rather die than being captured by the japanese soldiers.

[@zyzor]

@@marvinkem3201 yes many vets who were captured by the Japanese came home with serious ptsd and bitter hate toward the Japanese people.

[@alarminglyfastmovingskelet7289]

The look was not only the realization that it was his moment, but that it was the same moment he saw with his mothers' death. And unlike he says in the beginning of the film, this time he can see the good in death.

I listened to this song when my partner of three years parted ways with me.

The Thin Red Line is not just the greatest WW2 film ever made but also the greatest war film of all time.

I think about this scene a lot, wondering if at the time of death I'll be granted the moment to pause and see that this is really it. That I'm about to disappear or go elsewhere. I just hope that when that time comes, there isn't too much regret in my heart.

[@janneheinonen9767]

This is the perfect music for the character. So right for the scene. It connects us with the Witt's paradise seen in the opening scenes. Very emotional and maybe the key scene in the whole movie. This is based on a traditional Malesian song (from the beginning of the film), which Klaus Badelt has arranged for the orchestra. It is not by Hans Zimmer or Badelt.

[@jacobhiles447]

What’s the name of the song?

[@sskoog]

Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blong Mi ('Jesus You Hold My Hand') -- Melanesian choir semi-gospel.

[@paulhank7967]

My favourite movie of all time. I could see parts of me in all three main characters. Brilliant acting, brilliant character philosophy. Gripping and sad. I wonder if the other characters the movie depicted from the book survived the war.

It saddens me that people overall cited Inception, Dark Knight or Interstellar as Zimmer's best work... In my opinion, The Thin Red Line is the most beautiful and breathtaking score Zimmer ever composed... I prefer this one over Time any time

Inception takes a lot of inspiration from thin red line

[@latino7630]

They were good tunes but since 1999 and the thin red line......I'm stuck. 20 years and still in my.mind when I feel up or down. Hans Zimmer melodies in this movie and the character's live in me all the time. Whenever I'm down or on the up I still remember the soundtrack......I can't explain it to anybody close to me as they don't seem to understand. I was 22 when I first saw and heard the movie....I've been through a lot since....good and bad.....the music still remains in my head ....

[@TheVFXbyArt]

Same here. Get the 5 hr complete score with alternates!

[@paulbeen459]

I play this music sometimes and close my eyes. I have flash-backs of my own just like the ones Witt has when he gets shot. I'm swimming in the Adriatic sea, the water is fresh and the wind is chilling, and when I turn around I can see my friends laughing. I want to go back to shore but I can't move, because this scene is so pretty. It's such a pure memory. I'm so glad this movie exists. It's one of a kind.

[@Desperadounico]

Great piece, this movie and the score speak volumes to me. I continue to admire Saving Private Ryan generally speaking but as a modern day combat veteran, although our experiences can never compare to that of these men, I honestly think that this movie has a lot more to offer. I think about my experiences and simultaneously play the score in my head. Sometimes I don’t know what to think, I guess that at least and for the moment, I feel at ease with myself, or at peace, while listening to this!

[@madahad9]

Just finished the James Jones source novel and the beginning and the last forty minutes of the film are totally different , but the majority of the film follows the book fairly close except the Elias Koates character is named differently. The book starts a little slow but once the soldiers reach the island and the battle gets going it becomes compelling reading. I am not normally into war movies but neither the book nor the film glorify or romantisizes war and this not some John Wayne guts and glory wet dream. Horrible things happen to the characters.....and they do horrible things. Isn't there a line in the film (although not in the book) where a character (perhaps Witt) who says how war reduces people to animals? I had a grandfather who fought in WW 2 and refuses to talk about his experiences. I cannot even imagine. I grow to appreciate The Thin Red Line with each viewing (I have probably seen it four or five times now in its entirity) but I still feel it drags once they have captured the hill and there is still a good thirty to forty minutes to go. The book also suffers from this anti-climactic element but it moves ago and sustains interest in the characters.....who those who have survived the battle. What surprised me was the language in the book. It was published in 1960 and censorship was still stronge. Anyone who enjoys the film should read the book.....very highly recommended, but does not have much of the philosophical ponderings as in the film.

GREG FREEMAN Weeeellll, the movie changed just about every character from the book, especially Witt - he went from a good ole Kentcuk hillbilliy to some kind of Humanistic Superhero wet dream - so what's the difference?

[@sskoog]

It is hard to get the image of Caviezel of Christ out of my mind -- this film preceded Passion by six years, and I saw them in their proper chronological order -- but there's something greater than the sum of its parts here, when Pvt. Witt reaches some inner peaceful decision and chooses to "transcend." It's hard to put into words. Almost like he takes the sun, and the sand, and the swimming schoolchildren into himself, realizing his life is at an end, and makes that (sun, sand, swim) his final moment. Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but it jumped right out of the theater for me. Made me wonder if I could do similarly, when my time came (car crash, deathbed, illness, etc.).

[@michaelrenehorsley4865]

I have just re-watched the movie and was drawn by light and darkness's role in it. After Witt's death, there is a shot of light flowing down from the darkened roof of the jungle. Whereas after a battle scene, there is shot of light shining through pierced leaves which follows scenes of men showed in the vulnerability that war brings upon them. Or another when the company is about to move back into battle and the roof of the jungle is showed again but without any light getting through. I think that Terrence wanted, in his way, to give us a glimpse of what this "Truth" is insofar as it is shewed by the effects of war on our nature. Men's spirits, after battle, become crippled and numb. Nature doesn't vie against itself, but men do. Butterflies roam the battlefield, the scenery... as wonderful as ever. Nature isn't shown as chaotic, but peaceful in the heart of the battlefield. Nature is calm, such as Witt before his death. Darkness is only the wounds caused by the barbarian killing of war, and the unconsciousness that arises through contact with such inhuman behavior. This state of unconsciousness only results in more pain inflicted : because we become numb to the acts of savagery we are asked to perpetrate.

[@VirusL4D]

It is a deeply philosophical film dealing with the nature of humans, love, war, pain and afterlife. I wouldn’t call it pretentious, because it‘s all about thinking of the purpose of life, and how we should approach & appreciate it. Only very few movies deal with such strong issues, that‘s why The Thin Red Line is one of the greatest of all time.
