They arrive near Hill , a key Japanese position. Their task is to capture the hill at all costs. What happens next is a story of redemption and the meaninglessness of war. Regardless of the outcome. Every man fights his own war. Rated R for realistic war violence and language. Did you know Edit. Trivia Most of Adrien Brody 's scenes were cut from the film and he wasn't aware of these changes until he saw the film at the premiere.
Brody came to the premiere expecting to see himself as the lead character and was shocked when he saw that he was barely featured in the film, especially since Cpl. Fife was the central character in the novel on which the movie was based. Goofs In one of the flashback scenes where the soldier and his girlfriend are holding hands, modern cars can be seen out the window in the background.

The most influential film of the s. The "Thin Red Line" is not an easy film to understand. It uses one of the most complex narrative structures yet produced by cinema to tell three stories yes, it DOES have a plot : 1 the one the book wanted to tell the book's title comes from a 19th century allusion to the British Empire's infantry whose small numbers managed to 'protect' the British ["civilization" from their point of view] from the countless hordes of "savages" which the Empire ruled this concept is regrettably racist.
James Jones used this analogy to tell the story of how young American soldiers with no battlefield experience become bloodied veterans. We know that in war they will see and do things that will turn them into the very "savages" that we are trying to prevent from destroying our civilization. If you believe that there are things even worse in the world than war genocide, rule by the Axis powers then war is not irrational, but the paradox mentioned above exists.
Therefore, nature is both beautiful and cruel. Like our civilization and war. To tell these stories Terence Malick used symbolic imagery, flashback, voice-overs, passages without dialogue, long close-ups of the actors' faces, changes in tempo and a haunting score. For example, his use of symbolism has been much criticized but everything has a purpose e. Tall so aptly puts it , the bird being born as a soldier dies it was not dying as many people thought - "we come from the earth and return to it" as we hear in the voice-overs , dogs eating a human corpse "dog eat dog" - the soldiers are becoming desensitized to the violence the same crocodile, now dead, at the end of the film being carried away as a sort of trophy danger has receded for the moment , the coconut sprouting a palm on the empty beach in the last scene after death comes birth - the cycle of life.
There are, of course, many, many other examples. The use of flashback accompanied by voice-over to convey feelings as opposed to narrate a story must have appeared strange to anyone who never saw Alain Resnais' "Hiroshima Mon Amour". It was used most effectively with Ben Chaplin's character Pvt.
Jack Bell when he thinks of his wife back home - incidentally he idolizes her in the same way we do our own culture - another metaphor. His disillusionment is profound and shows that what he was prepared to die for was only as pure as any ideal. It is often say that there was no character development. This is also false. For example, in the scene where Sgt. Welsh is speaking to Witt shortly after his arrest for being AWOL , Welsh seems to claim that it is every man for himself when he says that individual sacrifice is worthless, there is no world but this one and that each man must get through the war the best that he can.
Also, Witt can not understand where evil comes from in the midst of the beauty he sees in the Melanesian village, but when he returns there he sees man arguing, enemy skulls, crabs hideously crawling around on an outstretched human hand and a child's back covered with insect bites while those people around it are seemingly uncaring. These images suggest that evil is inherent in man. Malick avoids the usual stereotypes. Although we see heroic acts such as the taking of the machine gun nests by Capt.
John Gaff's [John Cusack] team of volunteers , there are no recognizable heros. It is true that the characters are not sharply defined. When the violence comes it is against all of them i.
Are there then any relevant negative criticisms of the movie? I would say that it did not meander as some critics alleged every scene has a purpose but it was unnecessarily long. There is a certain irony in this. It is said that Malick edited over hours of material first to 9 hours. Understandably the studio did not accept this. Rate this movie. Oof, that was Rotten.
