The Thin Red Line is the third feature-length film from acclaimed
director Terrence Malick, set during the struggle between American
and Japanese forces for Guadalcanal in the South Pacific during
World War Two. It is a powerful, enigmatic and complex film that
raises important philosophical questions, ranging from the
existential and phenomenological to the artistic and technical.
This is the first collection dedicated to exploring the
philosophical aspects of Malick's film. Opening with a helpful
introduction that places the film in context, five essays, four of
which were specially commissioned for this collection, go on to
examine the following: the exploration of Heideggerian themes -
such as being-towards-death and the vulnerability of Dasein's world
- in The Thin Red Line how Malick's film explores and cinematically
expresses the embodied nature of our experience of, and agency in,
the world Malick's use of cinematic techniques, and how the style
of his images shapes our affective, emotional, and cognitive
responses to the film the role that images of nature play in
Malick's cinema, and his 'Nietzschean' conception of human nature.
The Thin Red Line is essential reading for students interested in
philosophy and film or phenomenology and existentialism. It also
provides an accessible and informative insight into philosophy for
those in related disciplines such as film studies, literature and
religion. Contributors: Simon Critchley, Hubert Dreyfus and Camilo
Prince, David Davies, Amy Coplan, Iain Macdonald.
