By Hillary Weston. The award-winning British author Geoff Dyer has published four novels, three essay collections, and seven works of nonfiction on various topics. So I programmed Criterion double features, which is what I tend to do on Sunday nights anyway. Edward Welsh Adrien Brody Cpl. Fife Jim Caviezel Pvt. Witt Ben Chaplin Pvt. Bell George Clooney Capt.

It is a marvel that it ever got made as an expensive American picture, with a star-studded cast. But unlike Fred Zinnemann's epic From Here to Eternity, which starred Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed, there are no women as characters — even if we glimpse them as dream figures in the minds of the soldiers. It's a deeply mysterious movie, interested in so many things above and beyond war, and so beautiful that the sudden sight of bodies and damage come as a surprise. Malick wrote the film himself and he shot and edited it according to his own timetable. But the standout performance comes from Nick Nolte as a ranting colonel whose authority has been questioned, and who is the clearest proof of the army that James Jones loved and hated.

Pre-production went slowly. Weeks before filming began, Malick told Geisler and Roberdeau not to show up in Australia where the film was being made, ostensibly because George Stevens Jr. He did not tell them, however, that in he had a clause inserted in his contract barring the producers from the set. Malick and Toll shot for days in Australia using Panavision cameras and lenses, 24 days in the Solomon Islands and three days in the United States. They scouted the historic battlefields on Guadalcanal and shot footage, but health concerns over malaria limited filming to daylight hours only. Logistics were also difficult to shoot the entire film there: [11] As director of photography John Toll put it, "It's still a bit difficult to get on and off the island, and we had some scenes that involved or extras. We would have had to bring everybody to Guadalcanal, and financially it just didn't make sense". A base camp was set up and roads carved out of the mountain. Transporting actors and crew members up the hill took two hours. Malick's unconventional filming techniques included shooting part of a scene during a bright, sunny morning only to finish it weeks later at sunset. He made a habit of pointing the camera away during an action sequence and focus on a parrot , a tree branch or other fauna. recorded narration that was scrapped. Martin Sheen and participated in readthroughs of the script and are thanked in the end credits. According to Jones, "Malick removed scenes with dialogue whenever possible, with the final film varying greatly from the original concept". The editing resulted in many of the well-known cast members being on screen for only a brief period. John Travolta and George Clooney's appearances are little more than cameos , yet Clooney's name appears prominently in the marketing of the movie. The unfinished film was screened for the New York press in December and Adrien Brody attended a screening to find that his originally significant role, "to carry the movie", [17] as he put it, had been reduced to two lines and approximately five minutes of screen time. On April 15, , an interview with Brody revealed that he was still upset over the removal of his work. He expressed his opinions in an interview with the London newspaper The Independent. Malick was upset that the studio screened his unfinished version for critics and Penn ended up helping him in the editing room, shaping the final version. The director refused to subject his film to test screenings before delivering his final cut. The film score was composed by Hans Zimmer , with additional music from John Powell. Zimmer wrote several hours of music, and an abundance of different themes, before Malick started to shoot the film. The director played the music on the set, while filming, to get himself, and the rest of the crew and actors in the right frame of mind. The official soundtrack features tracks that were not used on the film and some tracks from the film are not found on the CD. The film features several pieces of Melanesian choral music sung by the Choir of All Saints in Honiara and the Melanesian Brotherhood in Tabalia , only one of which is featured on the soundtrack. Gene Siskel described it as the "finest contemporary war film I've seen, supplanting 's from earlier this year, or even 's Platoon from He wrote, "The movie's schizophrenia keeps it from greatness this film has no firm idea of what it is about , but doesn't make it bad. It is, in fact, sort of fascinating The battle scenes themselves are masterful, in creating a sense of the geography of a particular hill, the way it is defended by Japanese bunkers, the ways in which the American soldiers attempt to take it Actors like , John Cusack, Jim Caviezel and Ben Chaplin find the perfect tone for scenes of a few seconds or a minute, and then are dropped before a rhythm can be established". In his review for Time , Richard Corliss wrote, "Some films deal in plot truth; this one expresses emotional truth, the heart's search for saving wisdom, in some of the most luscious imagery since Malick's last film, the ". However, the atmosphere created by John Toll's breathtaking cinematography and Hans Zimmer's powerful score is occasionally compromised. The parade of cameos John Travolta, George Clooney, Woody Harrelson and John Cusack briefly appear is somewhat distracting, and the fact that Bell and Witt both have Appalachian accents sometimes makes the characters hard to differentiate. Yet, even though it's confusing at times and perhaps a little long , Line is still a film of rare substance and power. Owen Gleiberman gave the film a "B-" in his review for Entertainment Weekly and wrote, " The Thin Red Line could, I think, turn out to be this season's Beloved , a movie too paralyzingly high-minded to connect with audiences". It failed to win any of these awards. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Theatrical release poster. Reilly John Travolta. Release date. Running time. Sean Penn as 1st Sgt.

I n the James Jones novel on which it is based, this is a story about the Guadalcanal campaign, fought in the Solomon Islands in And while The Thin Red Line holds a deserved place in the annals of war movies it is rather more a war dreamed of by Terrence Malick than the one actually fought for in reality. For Jones, the "thin red line" came from Kipling and stood for the infantry, but it was also the line that separated the sane from the mad. The author of From Here to Eternity, Jones had actually served at Guadalcanal, but in the preface to his novel he admits he had created a place of the imagination.

Now to my whinge. It's unfortunate that the two, thoug h greatly revered, did not achieve the success and attention they deserved. Don't be afraid by its length, it's a beautiful journey, full of rich colour, sound and the reward is a deeply moving human experience, unlike any other that the past decade has offered.

About their materials and rationales, about why one would make them, and what one would hope to say? Any film that can inspire thoughts like these is worth seeing. But the audience has to finish the work: Malick isn't sure where he's going or what he's saying. That may be a good thing. If a question has no answer, it is not useful to be supplied with one. Still, one leaves the theater bemused by what seems to be a universal law: While most war films are "anti-war," they are always anti-war from the point of view of the winning side. They say, "War is hell, and we won. War was hell, and they lost.

In truth, that is the key to Malick's film which, filmed in Queensland and in the Solomon Islands, is as interested in the flora and fauna of the Pacific as it is in the outcome of the combat. There were always some critics who found this approach arty, and the film vacant of conventional excitement. It is a marvel that it ever got made as an expensive American picture, with a star-studded cast. But unlike Fred Zinnemann's epic From Here to Eternity, which starred Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed, there are no women as characters — even if we glimpse them as dream figures in the minds of the soldiers.
