Thanks for posting. My VHS did not include this. I've had it on VHS, DVD, then Criterion DVD. One of my very favorite films, I've seen it about 70 times, which is ridiculous, especially given its length, but I find something new each and every time. It is so dense with imagery, symbolism, the wonderful and almost anonymous voiceovers delivering joy and heartache and wonder at the nature of everything. Setting a philosophical study in the midst of war was a brilliant move by Malick. One of many brilliant strokes of his. Very much looking forward to The Way of the Wind. Recently saw A Hidden Meaning and Voyage of Time, a return to awe inspiring filmmaking. To me The Thin Red Line is still his crowning achievement. I would love to see an extended cut, and the rumored 6 hour early draft would be a definite watch.

What a film. I mean, really, what a film.

Sometimes a movie is so strong it takes time to digest it, and some people do not have the time and move on, the youngsters want another war flick, and this movie load their brain so they think this was the worst war movie they ever saw. Some of us are geared differently immediately embrace this movie and so thankful it was made.

I love Terry he’s a legend and he’s not an egomaniac.

A note about the image/sound quality of this video: Because the tape was copy-protected, I could not capture it onto DVD as I have with many of my other VHS-sourced uploads. I decided to film it on my phone and hand-stabilised the video as much as I could, which still isn't great (especially as you briefly hear the sound of my dog wandering on our wooden floorboards), but until someone can crack the copy-protection and upload a better-quality version, it will have to do.

I was going to complain and ask why the phone couldn't just be placed at the right distance from the TV, propped up against something and left alone so that the image wouldn't move, but then I read this comment of yours and felt like an ass. Thank you so so so much for sharing this with us. We got to spend a bit of time with your happy and active dog, what is there to complain about this? :) Cheers!

The little dog feet taps add to this for sure haha - thanks for recording !

NOt your typical war movie especially as it has a very philosophical, meditative bent to it and also shows the fears, the inner thoughts and reflections of the soldiers. In so doing, they end being more than just gung-ho, one-dimensional characters. I'd classify it the thinking man's war movie or the war movie for women. A hugely underrated masterpiece.

My favorite movie.

Magnificent music in this film--on top of everything else that's wonderful about it. I was surprised how little it has to do with the novel, but the film exists on its own terms.

According to IMDB, Mike Stokey who was the military advisior for this movie would later work with Spielberg and Tom Hanks on both Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

He looks familiar. Like I have to check if he was on the Brothers in Arms game series, too

So much unseen footage here

This is very handy. I like to show bits of this to students but could only make an audio version of my old VHS and despaired of anyone ever uploading! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing!

.... After "HOUSE SITTER" with Goldie Hawn... Well I liked It... 😂😂😂😂

14:26 you could hear the alternate version of the track Stone in my Heart which was heard only in the bootlegs.

18:40 Adrien Brody was VERY pissed off when he saw this film....

@@singingselves7036 Yes...the thing was he was suppose to be one of the main characters in the film. But Terrance Malik cut the film down, taking Brody's role with it. As the result Brody had no idea until he saw in the movie at the premier.

Interesting fun fact: James Jones had based the character of Fife on himself, and Private Robert Witt (who ended up taking a much larger role in the film) was based on his closest friend, a Kentuckian bugler and boxer named Robert Lee Stewart, who had been promoted, busted, and sent to the stockade multiple times before being reassigned out of the company.

Random question, where on the VHS was this video? Did it play when the movie and credits were over or was it on some sort of second bonus tape included in a boxed set of the film? (I remember certain movies like Titanic had VHS box sets) Thanks too for uploading this! I'm a huge Malick fan so this was awesome to see.

It was on the same tape, straight after the end credits.

Где можно найти фильм где присутствует Мики Рурк

It should be in a longer cut of the movie.

Ha, I filmed that.

Far superior to the flashy hollywood SPR. I wish they'd release the un-shortened 4-5 hr director's cut.

it's a great film, really but malick's antics are just stupid
