I have watched many war films one after another, but this is the first time seeing such war films with poetic and philosophical, cruelty and reflection.
This is probably the reason why the score is high and nobody knows about it.
Today's recommended video is——
Thin red line

This film is also a collection of big names.
Sean Penn ("I Am Sam"),
Elias Cortes ("The Wonderful"),
James Caviezel ("Suspect Tracking"),
Ben Chaplin ("Red Alert"),
Nick Knott ("The Prince of Tides"),
Adrian Brody ("The Pianist") and so on.
Some people said that the film had too much narration and the workmanship was neither too exciting nor too boring.
But feeling this might be a real war, which left people numb.
This film focuses on the famous Battle of Guadalcanal during World War II, known as the Battle of Guadalcanal, which took place on Guadalcanal and its surrounding islands from 1942 to 1943.
The "Charles Artillery Company" and the Japanese waged a massive battle on this small island.
However, it was very difficult to take the position 210 which was held by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army took a geographical advantage.
They installed machine guns on high ground. There was plain on all sides, and nowhere to hide. Assault means letting the army advance in the rain of bullets.
For this reason, Captain Staro fell out with the commander Colonel Tal.
Tal believes that all soldiers should move forward bravely and show off their usual training skills, while Staro believes that warriors' lives are more important, and there is no need to go out and die in vain.
In the end, Staro was dismissed from his post, and the soldiers couldn't help but join the so-called "fair war".
Then after months of bloody war, they captured Japanese soldiers and killed many Japanese.
But this problem is far from over. After a short period of stability, they made even more vicious attacks.
The soul has holes in it, and the body also suffers from wind and frost, but there is still no hope.
The film is based on the novel of the same name by American novelist James Jones .
The title of the book is taken from British author Kipling's verse, “When the drum is hit, it becomes the thin red line the heroes draw” and the adage from the Midwestern United States: “Crazy or not, there is only a fine line between them. Red line ".
James Jones served in the US Army from 1939 to 1944. His main achievement is a trilogy of novels depicting the life of the US Army
The first is "From Here to Eternity , " which primarily depicts the lives of American soldiers training in Hawaii before the outbreak of Pearl Harbor in World War II. This is also his famous work.
The third "Blowing the Whistle" was published after Jones' death, primarily describing the lives and moods of four wounded soldiers who had returned home for treatment from the South Pacific front.
Due to war fatigue, when they were about to return to the front lines from their wounds, one went insane and three committed suicide.
Jones has personally experienced war, so the war on the Questioner makes people feel very real.
Director Terrence Malik likes to downplay storylines and pursue the spiritual essence of his characters.
So the film goes through its entire narrative, one that is not only the dissatisfaction and helplessness of soldiers with war, but also a reflection on wars in later generations.
Most of the movies related to war have heroes in them.
In war, he was not afraid of death or enemies, always rushed to the front lines, and always endured to the end.
In this film, there is no such role, most people are afraid, no one really wants to be a rake.
But reality compels them to go again, and there is such a sentence beside the plain which impresses:
God also has a dark side?
Many people believe in God, but seeing these corpses filled with eyes, bloodstained and screaming, they are crushed. Can God see all this?
Maybe, but if he saw her, why didn't he come out and stop her?
If he doesn't see it, then why does God exist?
Not only happiness in the world, but also suffering.
And war is the greatest suffering that no one can escape.
Chieftain, only to satisfy his own desires.
Soldiers are just chess pieces, American soldiers, and Japanese soldiers too.
When catching your opponent, do you kill or not? Those who were arrested, surrendered or not?
This question doesn't make sense to us today, because when we make a decision, we know that it won't happen.
But to them, it was a thin, red streak that choked the neck between life and death and a cold trigger touched by a finger.
At this time, who can guarantee that he can guard his conscience with 100% faith?
