Soldiers are asked to face the withering machine gun fire, artillery, and booby traps, not to mention climatic privations, without wincing. The relationships among ranks, from officers to enlisted men, captures the flavor of the military hierarchy existing since time immemorial. There are certainly a number of points to this version that stand out, never mind the one or two actions sequences that aren't technically up to the flashiness of today's films. Today's audiences are inured to violence captured in contemporary films, and aren't willing to watch films made on a small budget from independent filmmakers, such as those responsible for this 1964 foray into the futility of war. Those who don't see the realism in this film are probably either from Generation X, or they never were in the military.

In fact, irony is the film's strongest point, evidenced in several scenes in which Dullea is saved from death by his purloined sidearm, and which ultimately is responsible for his survival by film's end. 45 automatic, his prophetic line of dialogue to his buddy, "It just might give me the edge I need", rings ironically true several times over the course of the picture. The viewer is given a look at the motivations behind Dullea's seeming obsession to be "prepared" for combat with as much in his bag of combat tricks as possible. Played with hardened determination by James Philbrook, to Jack Warden's combat wise sergeant, and down to Keir Dullea's survivalist mentality in the face of an enemy that takes no prisoners. Men who have been in the military will no doubt identify with the characters, from the C.O.
Imdb The Thin Red Line Movie He Plays
In this movie he plays a top sergeant in the Army, the man who will keep you alive no matter how ruthless an enemy you will face. He often played persons in authority positions, as in the TV series "N.Y.P.D." and "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" (in both, a captain). Screenwriter Philip Yordan's dialogue is at once sensitive and insightful, lending credence to his reputation in Hollywood as a no-nonsense, rough-hewn, but literate genius.When you wanted to portray toughness, the late Jack Warden was one of the first actors who came to mind. The viewer realizes that Warden's death results from heroism, while Dullea's survival from the madness of a trapped rat.
Doll-young, delicate looking, self-contained, and determined to survive. The "souvenirs" were booby trapped by the cruel, clever Japanese! In counterpoint is the character of Pvt. When some green and incautious solders in his platoon want to pick up some war souvenirs at the start of the film, it is the sergeant who casually demonstrates that the soldiers have come within an ace of getting themselves blown up.
However, I do not consider this a positive, but only stating that the technical ability to show graphic violence has improved. Of course the one aspect that was lesser was the depiction of graphic violence, and that was only due to the changing times and audience, and modern film effects that can show things more realistically in graphic fashion. I had expected a somewhat jingoistic war film, but was surprised that this turned out to be superior to the 1998 remake in every way but one. No movie I have ever seen captures so perfectly the grimness of war, its squalor, occasional moments of exultation and the byplay of men at different levels of command but all trapped in an essentially insane situation.Like some other commenters, I saw the 1998 version before seeing this version.
Explosions with limbs flying, bloody bullet wounds, last gasps for breath and such can certainly add to the shock factor in modern movies as our progressive desensitization continues as we participate in the 120 minutes hate at the cinema. I would say that the 1998 film boasts a production group fairly unaware of the overall reality of WW II, and still stuck in the miasma of Vietnam.The trend today is to add realism into war movies in order to make them moving. Whereas the post-Vietnam 1998 version is also cynical, yet much more so, showing the military as a bumbling bureaucracy of sorts and attempting to depict the battle as pointless, extending that depiction to the war in general, and it actually is an unstated allegory about Vietnam. It's quite interesting that this version, coming right before the Vietnam era would be cynical about war but also considerably mindful of the necessity of the particular war it depicts and of the need for the soldiers to do as they did. I found the acting to be solid and less melodramatic than the 1998 version, and the soldiers actions all ring true to what would have been going on in WW II at Guadacanal, without hystrionics.
Shaken badly, he adopts the mindset that he wont die until his number is up and nobody, not the enemy, himself or his Sergeant can dictate when that is. He even says "if they say 'go left', I'm going right" After being attacked by an enemy while out on his own he comes face to face with the reason he's out there in the first place, to kill. He quickly realizes that he's just a pawn in someone else's war, and to keep from being fed into the machine he's got to think for himself. Private Doll comes into the army as innocent as his name. The Thin Red Line moves you and sticks in your mind without using the smoke and CPU cycles that are the main tools of filmmakers today. Now we come out of the movie house with a tingling in our gut and a head full of imagery and dialogue and get fooled into thinking we just saw something of value, when in fact, we're queasy from the blood and our ears are ringing from the THX surround sound at freight train levels.
Doll's commander specifically tells him "Try to loose as few men as possible" The men stare back blankly, realizing just how unimportant they are to the fat old men who the war belongs to.First adaptation of the James Jones novel about the battle for Guadalcanal on the famous Pacific toll in which a typical crew of Marines fighting the ¨Yellow Menace¨ and it results to be one of the best American films about the Pacific conflict during WWII. The most memorable line in the entire movie is when Doll's commander instructs him to take some men to capture a strategic point. They have a few words as Sergeant Walsh takes his last breaths, and the humanity inside Doll dies as he drags Walsh's dead body away as the credits roll. Doll becomes a solider to whom a human life means nothing, while his Sergeant jumps in front of a rifle to save Doll. In the end, Doll reaches a place that his Sergeant has just come from.
Welsh, (Jack Warden) Doll's superior immediate grows the mutual hatred but at the ending the two contenders change to affinity , and getting reciprocal respect. As battle experience hardens soldiers and Colonel (James Philbrook) orders captain Stone (Daley) leading to the taking of the Elephant hill in the battle of Guadalcanal. What follows are a series of bloody attacks, on the river , lake , mountains in which the rifle company fighting Japanese who hold killers gun-machines.
The troublesome relationship between Keir Dullea and Jack Warden makes the biggest impression and delivers the interesting main plot. The film brings home the true horror of battle and the meaninglessness of it all and effectively portrays the deshumanizing effects of war. Visually stunning and focused on the battle of wits of a Private and a Sergeant and on men's determination to survive his tour of duty. This dark story produced by prestigious Philip Yordan is immensely exciting , firmly characterized on its two main roles and in places very moving too.
Another tale based on the 1962 novel by James Jones was directed by Terence Malick with star-laden cast as Jim Cazievel as Private protagonist , Sean Penn as the Sergeant , and many others as George Clooney, Nick Nolte and Woody Harrelson. The motion picture is professionally directed by Andrew Marton. Atmospheric cinematography in black and white by the Spanish Manuel Berenguer.
