James Jones’s novel « The Thin Red Line » is a dense, but not a terrible book. On 510 pages, this is a fluctuating and furious report on the US Army’s tough campaign in Guadolcanal during World War II. Joyce, Veteran of Guadalkanal (and survived as a result of Japan’s attack on Pearl -Choard, which occurs at the end His classic novel « From here to Eternity »), paint the murals of the massacre in an Eden environment filled with lush animals and amazing flora. It moves the prospect, but it is most often leveled on the experience of four characters: Vit, Welsh, Storm and FIFE. He also writes so vividly about the horrors of the struggle that I cannot imagine that anyone finished the book and wants to get involved in armed services. The war is really hell, and no soldiers who are experiencing the trials goes out at the other end.
Unlike « from here to eternity, » Jones « » the thin red line « , of course, is not adaptation. The inner life of their heroes – giving voice longing, furious, frustration, sadness and much more – uniquely rich.
Turrence Malik did not want to remove the « thin red line ». He wrote a script for 300 pages, which kept the majority of the book’s heroes, constantly promising some visual poetry that would study the oddness of unreasonable bloodshed in the lush, beautiful conditions of the jungle.
And every actor in Hollywood wanted to become a part.
Turrence Malik found a thin red line in editing
If Turrence Malik Put to adapt the « thin red line » In the 1990s, he was a legendary movie figure because he made only two films « Badlands » and « Days of Heaven », both were considered masterpieces. As soon as the word came out that he was engaged in an epic film about World War II on the basis of the next novel to the famous « Hence to Eternity » (which, as a film, won eight awards of the Academy), the actors reported that they were very accessible.
Tom Cruz, Brad Pitt, Al -District, Johnny Depp and Bruce Willis were at one or another point, and many were ready to accept salaries only to play minor roles. After all, if Malik can take two decades between movies, it can be their only picture in one of Maestro’s movies.
Malik finally collected a knockout growth of big tickets (in order to calm the Fox 20th Century, which was nervous from the then budget for $ 52 million) and promising young actors. John Travolta, George Clooney, Sean Peng, Nick Nolta, Adryn Brod and Jim Cavizel were among the winners in Malik’s totel. But while they were guaranteed to fly to Queensland, Australia and shoot the scenes, they couldn’t be sure how much their work would end in the latest section of the movie (because of Malik’s inclination to search for films). So when, for example, Brody Adery appeared At the press -junket in the film, he learned that he had moved from one of the leading films (like FIFE) to a barely existing movie.
At least some But his performance came out of the cutting room. On the other hand, Mickey Rurke and Bill Pulman were cut out of the movie.
Poolman and Rurke were considered insignificant for final reduction
Pulman was only two years old when he was expelled by the US President, which was concluded on Independence Day when he was served as a sergeant. Mactae in Epic Malick’s wwii. Given that the character does not play a significant role in the book, Poulman had to be prepared for disappointment. Was he surprised when he discovered that his reflection was completely redeemed from Malik’s movie? He never talked about it publicly, who will say?
However, Rurka had some thoughts about his speech like a sniper -scouts ejected from « The Thin Red Line ». In 2005, the actor commented: « There were political reasons why I was in the film. It really upset me … Only from the temperature of me and the branch, my scenes were shortened. » While Rurke certainly had his ups and falls in Hollywood, as well as his personal life, it is not quite tracked that the 20 -Century Fox leaves Malik to cut it out of the movie. Judging by the remote scene of Rurke, which is included in the release of the movie « Criteria », it seems that its disappearance from the movie was a completely rhythm. It is a shame, however, because it seems to give a deeply devoted performance.
In any case, the actors who were looking forward to becoming a participant in the first movie Malik in 20 years had to feel a little stupid when the director had reflected from five new dramas during the 2010s. Suddenly, the intentional author was simply prolific. If only Malik after the « Tree of Life » exit was more inspired.
