Thin Red Line Blu-ray

Product Description

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 & some simply to remain alive They spend the quieter moments reflecting upon their existence searching for meaning amid the senselessness of war Malick&s reputation as one of cinema&s most brilliant directors based on his masterworks BADLANDS & 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 & Hans Zimmer&s haunting score Rather than concentrating solely on the violence & destruction of war Malick uses the situation to address philosophical questions such as man versus nature war versus peace & good versus evil THE THIN RED LINE proves that after a 20-year layoff Malick hasn&t lost a step
