Thin Red Line The

00:01:42 What's this war in the heart of nature?
00:01:48 Why does nature vie with itself?
00:01:52 The land contend with the sea?
00:02:05 Is there an avenging power in nature?
00:02:11 Not one power, but two?
00:04:00 I remember my mother when she was dying.
00:04:04 Looked all shrunk up and grey.
00:04:10 I asked her if she was afraid.
00:04:13 She just shook her head.
00:04:17 I was afraid to touch the death I seen in her.
00:04:21 I couldn't fiind nothing beautiful or uplifting
00:04:29 I heard people talk about immortality,
00:05:39 I wondered how it'd be when I died.
00:05:43 What it'd be like to know that this breath now
00:05:52 I just hope I can meet it the same way she did.
00:05:56 With the same... calm.
00:06:02 Cos that's where it's hidden -
00:06:46 Kids around here never fight.
00:06:49 Sometimes.
00:06:51 Sometimes when you see them playing
00:06:54 they always fight!
00:06:59 - Is she afraid of me?
00:07:04 - Are you afraid of me?
00:07:06 - Why?
00:07:11 You look as an army!
00:07:13 - I look army?
00:07:16 Well, that don't matter.
00:07:20 It doesn't matter.
00:07:25 - Baby's tired.
00:07:29 If she swims, she wants, she will sleep.
00:08:00 All right, come on. Turn around.
00:08:02 Go, go, go, go. Go!
00:08:05 Come on, go.
00:08:11 Go, go, go, go!
00:09:46 Witt, patrol boat!
00:09:48 She's American.
00:10:00 What's it doing out here all alone?
00:10:28 You haven't changed at all, have you, Witt?
00:10:31 You haven't learned a thing.
00:10:35 All a man has to do is leave it to you,
00:10:46 How many times you been AWOL?
00:10:50 Been in the army, what? Six years now?
00:10:53 Ain't it time you smartened up
00:10:57 I mean, if you're ever gonna.
00:10:59 We can't all be smart.
00:11:03 No, we can't, and that's a shame.
00:11:05 Look atyou.
00:11:11 Truth is,
00:11:17 You'll never be a real soldier,
00:11:23 This is C Company,
00:11:27 Captain Staros, he's the CO, but I'm the guy
00:11:33 You're just another mouth for me to feed.
00:11:38 Normally, you'd be court-martialled.
00:11:41 But I worked a deal for ya.
00:11:43 Gotta consider yourself lucky.
00:11:47 I'm sending you to a disciplinary outfit.
00:11:50 You'll be a stretcher-bearer.
00:11:55 I can take anything you dish out.
00:11:58 I'm twice the man you are.
00:12:12 In this world...
00:12:14 a man himself is nothing.
00:12:22 And there ain't no world but this one.
00:12:28 You're wrong there, Top.
00:12:33 I seen another world.
00:12:40 Sometimes I think
00:12:46 Well,
00:12:48 then you've seen things I never will.
00:13:00 We're living in a world that's blowing itself
00:13:06 In a situation like that all a man can do
00:13:11 Look out for himself.
00:13:25 I might be the best friend you ever had.
00:13:30 You don't even know it.
00:14:02 He hates you worse than poison.
00:14:09 I never felt he hated me, cos I don't hate him.
00:14:51 I love Charlie Company.
00:14:58 They're my people.
00:15:24 They call it "The Rock".
00:15:26 Nobody wants this island.
00:15:29 Fighting's confined to this area.
00:15:31 This is their road to Australia, and this is their
00:15:36 If we're gonna stop the Japs' advance into the
00:15:43 The Marines have done their job.
00:15:47 Worked my ass off.
00:15:51 Brown-nosed the generals.
00:15:55 Degraded myself
00:15:59 for them and my family.
00:16:03 For my home.
00:16:06 - I admire you, Colonel. I do.
00:16:09 Most men your age
00:16:12 It's OK.
00:16:14 We need general officers
00:16:18 We've got good sergeants
00:16:22 But once a man gets those eagles,
00:16:25 He becomes a politician, right?
00:16:27 Goes along to get along.
00:16:30 So goddamn hard to stay upright.
00:16:34 - You said it there, sir.
00:16:38 - There's always someone watching.
00:16:41 Like a hawk.
00:16:43 Always someone ready to jump in,
00:16:58 - D'you have a son, Colonel?
00:17:00 Good. We don't want our sons or grandsons
00:17:05 - No, sir, we sure don't.
00:17:08 You dig them out of the hills
00:17:11 Yes, sir.
00:17:13 You wonder why... Why did the Japs
00:17:19 I guess we don't knowthe bigger picture,
00:17:23 - What do you think?
00:17:27 You're a humble man.
00:17:31 Nobody wants that island... butyou.
00:17:35 How much do you want it?
00:17:37 As much as I have to, sir.
00:17:43 All they sacrifiicedfor me
00:17:48 poured out like water on the ground.
00:17:56 All I might have given for love's sake.
00:18:13 Too late.
00:18:20 Died...
00:18:23 slow as a tree.
00:18:27 D'you feel it?
00:18:30 Yes, sir.
00:18:36 Thank you, sir.
00:18:51 Take topside to the signal bridge.
00:18:59 The closer you are to Caesar,
00:19:18 I just can't help
00:19:22 I can't help it. I got...
00:19:24 My stepdaddy took a block
00:19:27 and I was scared
00:19:30 Hell, I slept in the chicken coop
00:19:34 And I never thought
00:19:39 But I'm living by the... by the minute here.
00:19:43 Hell, we're gonna be landing soon
00:19:47 We're probably gonna die
00:19:50 This place is...
00:19:54 - What's your name, kid?
00:20:00 - What's your name?
00:20:03 Train?
00:20:04 The only things that are permanent
00:20:09 That's all you gotta worry about. This war
00:20:15 - Think we'll catch an air raid?
00:20:18 All's I know are them crew guys said
00:20:23 On the other hand,
00:20:26 What d'you want me to tell you?
00:20:28 You're a big help, Tills.
00:20:31 Tell you something.
00:20:32 We're sitting out here on this ocean
00:20:37 I already knowthat.
00:20:39 Well, brood on it, Tills.
00:20:41 Brood on it.
00:20:43 - Ain'tyou watching the fun?
00:20:46 - Yeah, I guess it is pretty crowded.
00:20:51 Well, I'm on my way to get me that pistol.
00:20:53 Yeah? Well, have fun.
00:20:55 Yeah, have fun.
00:20:57 You'll wish you had one once we get ashore
00:21:02 Open this door! Open this goddamn door!
00:21:06 Open the door!
00:21:09 You all learn to deal these cards...
00:21:14 All right. Here I am sleeping, yeah.
00:21:17 All right, ladies.
00:21:21 All right, jack's high, jackto bet.
00:21:27 I never bargained for nothing like this when I
00:21:32 How was I supposed to knowthere was
00:21:40 All I know is Charlie Company's
00:21:43 And I can tell you whose fault it is, too.
00:21:46 It's that captain of ours.
00:21:48 First he gets us stuck off on this boat
00:21:53 Then he gets us stuck way down in fourth
00:22:11 Hello, Captain.
00:22:55 I read in your 201file
00:22:59 How'd you end up a private?
00:23:02 Cos of my wife.
00:23:04 I was in the corps of engineers.
00:23:08 We'd never been separated before,
00:23:11 not even for a night.
00:23:13 I took it for four months and then I quit.
00:23:19 Just resigned.
00:23:22 They sent me backto the States.
00:23:25 They told me
00:23:28 They said they'd see to it I got drafted
00:23:34 Sons of bitches.
00:23:36 No, I don't blame them.
00:23:41 Well, where is she now?
00:23:44 She's home.
00:23:58 Why should I be afraid to die?
00:24:03 I belong to you.
00:24:07 Move! Move! Move!
00:24:10 Move! Move!
00:24:18 Move! Move!
00:24:20 Moving out!
00:24:21 If I go fiirst, I'll wait for you there.
00:24:26 On the other side of the dark waters.
00:24:36 Put your helmet on.
00:24:39 Be with me now.
00:24:50 - Feeling the pressure, Captain?
00:24:54 I like you, Captain.
00:24:56 And I just wantyou to know, well,
00:25:02 Keep pressing inland till you reach the line.
00:25:06 - Yes, sir.
00:25:08 Gangway! Gangway there!
00:25:10 Coming through!
00:25:11 Squad leaders! Both teams!
00:25:14 This way, son. This way, right here.
00:25:18 Stand by to go over the side!
00:26:29 Our Father, who art in heaven...
00:26:32 And forgive us our debts,
00:26:36 For Thine is the kingdom,
00:26:52 Your outfit's lucky.
00:26:54 Transports must've been spotted.
00:26:56 You're getting outta here just ahead of time.
00:27:09 Take a breath, mister. You gotta breathe!
00:27:40 - You Charlie Company?
00:27:42 We went in a mile. Nothing there.
00:27:44 Some oil drums.
00:27:46 - A week.
00:27:48 No casualties. Japs must've hauled ass.
00:27:50 Two mortars hit the beach,
00:27:53 Darnedest thing I ever did see.
00:27:57 They got fish that live in trees.
00:28:03 If they didn't knowthis beach was deserted,
00:29:35 Who are you to live in all these many forms?
00:30:09 Your death that captures all.
00:30:18 You, too, are the source
00:30:45 Your glory.
00:30:50 Mercy.
00:30:54 Peace.
00:30:57 Truth.
00:31:06 You give calm a spirit,
00:31:11 understanding,
00:31:15 courage.
00:31:21 The contented heart.
00:34:54 Get a medic here!
00:35:01 Maybe all men got one big soul
00:35:08 All faces of the same man.
00:35:12 One big self.
00:35:47 Everyone lookingfor salvation by himself.
00:35:56 Each like a coal
00:35:59 drawn from the fiire.
00:36:31 We're going straight up that hill there.
00:36:38 - We can't do that, Colonel.
00:36:42 On the left is a cliff
00:36:44 The Japanese hold the jungle.
00:36:50 What about water, sir?
00:36:53 My men are... passing out, sir.
00:37:03 Only time you worry about a soldier
00:37:20 We're all gonna attack abreast.
00:37:24 We've gotta cross
00:37:27 Once we get beyond that,
00:37:41 Colonel says there's no way to outflank it,
00:37:47 - Whyte?
00:37:49 - See the grassy ridges at the foot of that hill?
00:37:52 When you get to the end of that field,
00:38:01 I'm sure the Japs got something there
00:38:56 Are you here?
00:39:11 Let me not betray you.
00:39:17 Let me not betray my men.
00:39:26 In you I place my trust.
00:39:44 Rosy-fingered dawn.
00:39:47 You're Greek, aren'tyou, Captain?
00:39:50 D'you ever read Homer?
00:39:52 We read Homer at the Point.
00:39:54 In Greek.
00:39:56 What kind of artillery support
00:40:00 - Two batteries of 105s.
00:40:04 No, but it bucks the men up.
00:41:00 OK, you guys.
00:41:02 This is it.
00:41:03 We're going down in groups of ten.
00:41:07 There's no point in going by rushes.
00:41:12 run all the way.
00:41:14 We ain't got no choice.
00:41:20 I'm gonna take the first bunch myself.
00:41:22 I want Charlie Dale with me. Dale?
00:41:25 You go organise them guys that's up there.
00:41:33 Moving out in five minutes.
00:41:36 Let's go.
00:41:41 Sico?
00:41:44 - What's wrong with you?
00:41:47 Sico, you get up now,
00:41:50 I can't. I would if I could.
00:41:52 I'm sick.
00:41:54 I'm sick.
00:41:56 You ain't sick. Get up!
00:42:02 - What's the matter, Sico?
00:42:06 It's my stomach. I'm in pain, I got cramps.
00:42:09 I can't even sit up straight. I'm sick.
00:42:15 - Come on, get up!
00:42:17 I need a volunteer to carry the BAR!
00:42:21 Thank you, Sergeant.
00:42:25 Don't argue with me.
00:42:27 Good luck, Keck.
00:43:30 Plug that hole on your right!
00:43:32 Move!
00:43:53 Maybe they pulled out.
00:46:00 Hit dirt!
00:46:02 Hit dirt!
00:46:09 Calm down, calm down,
00:46:16 Stretcher-bearers!
00:46:33 Come on!
00:46:35 Stretcher-bearers, this way!
00:46:38 - Go get that man.
00:46:41 - Don't argue with me! Get that man!
00:46:45 Goddamn it, all of you!
00:46:48 - Am I the captain or a goddamn private?
00:46:54 - I gave you an order, private!
00:46:58 Hello, First Sergeant.
00:47:02 Who we going after over here?
00:47:05 We think it's Jacques.
00:47:07 OI' Jockey.
00:47:09 Well, shit. That's, that's, that's too bad.
00:47:12 Sir?
00:47:14 Sir? Sir, can I come backto the company
00:47:20 - OK, butyou gotta get permission.
00:47:27 Nicky! You're still alive!
00:47:30 Keep moving! Keep moving!
00:47:33 Magnificent, Staros, magnificent. The finest
00:47:39 Beautifully conceived and executed!
00:47:43 Young Whyte led beautifully.
00:47:46 Yes, sir. Over.
00:47:48 But sending in your second too was brilliant.
00:47:50 They may have carried the ridge. I don't think
00:47:56 Now, how many emplacements
00:47:59 Did they knock any out?
00:48:01 We ought to have those ridges
00:48:07 Hello! Hello! Staros, are you there?
00:48:09 Here, sir. Over.
00:48:11 I said, how many emplacements did they
00:48:16 Children.
00:48:18 I don't know, sir.
00:48:21 What the hell do you mean, you don't know?
00:48:25 I'm right here behind the first swell, sir.
00:48:30 You want me to stand up and wave? Over.
00:48:32 No, I can see where you are.
00:48:35 I wantyou to get up there
00:48:38 I want Hill 210 in my hands tonight.
00:48:41 Now, goddamn it,
00:48:44 Come to life up there, Staros. Out!
00:49:11 Move up!
00:49:31 Hey, Keck!
00:49:34 Yeah!
00:49:36 - We gotta get out of here.
00:49:39 Blane's dead.
00:49:41 You're in charge.
00:49:46 We know you there, Yank!
00:49:50 Tojo eats shit!
00:49:52 No! Roosevelt eats shit!
00:50:29 I got him! I got him!
00:50:48 I killed a man.
00:50:51 Hey, Queen!
00:50:53 Queen, you there?
00:50:55 Worst thing you can do.
00:50:59 Queen! You see them Japs
00:51:02 - I killed a man. Nobody can touch me for it.
00:51:06 Well, getyour fuckin' head up
00:51:10 I'm serious!
00:51:12 I counted seven Japs
00:51:16 I got me one of'em.
00:51:18 So?
00:51:20 I think maybe they're pulling out.
00:51:25 Maybe somebody
00:51:27 You wanna be the one to do it?
00:51:35 You just stay put! I'm ordering you!
00:51:59 Down!
00:52:09 Stay low.
00:52:36 Go! Go!
00:52:39 Go! Go!
00:53:20 What do we do now?
00:53:22 We wait right here. Maybe
00:53:26 To do what?
00:53:27 To capture some of these
00:53:30 - You mean you really wanna go on with this?
00:53:36 If they send us reinforcements,
00:53:39 and locate these machine guns.
00:53:41 - Anyway, it's better than going back down.
00:53:45 They're coming!
00:53:52 What are they doin'?
00:53:54 If they want to throw us out,
00:53:57 Maybe they was acting on their own.
00:54:00 Maybe they wanted to get into nirvana.
00:54:04 They're coming.
00:54:16 Keck!
00:54:17 Jesus!
00:54:18 Oh, Jesus!
00:54:22 I blew my butt off!
00:54:23 - It's all right. It's all right.
00:54:27 Lay down!
00:54:28 What a fucking recruit trickto pull!
00:54:31 - Take it easy. Take it easy.
00:54:35 You write my old lady. You tell her...
00:54:39 Nobody's gonna have to write her.
00:54:41 - Don't bullshit me!
00:54:43 Hey, hey.
00:54:46 Have I got mud on my face?
00:54:48 Wipe it off. Get it off.
00:54:51 No!
00:54:53 I'll write her. I promise.
00:54:59 Take my canteen.
00:55:07 It's for the best.
00:55:10 I'm all messed up down there.
00:55:13 I can't fuck no more.
00:55:18 Whoa... Where am I?
00:55:22 Where am I?
00:55:27 You're gonna be all right.
00:55:29 Even if you die,
00:55:33 If you hadn't thrown yourself against
00:55:37 I'm cold.
00:55:42 I'm cold.
00:55:45 I'm... freezing.
00:56:40 You gonna write his wife?
00:56:44 Fuck, no.
00:56:46 I don't know his old lady.
00:56:48 That's the company commander's job. You
00:56:53 You told him you would.
00:56:55 I'll say anything to 'em
00:56:59 Somebody ought to do it.
00:57:01 Well, then, you write her. Yeah, you write her.
00:57:13 What's wrong, Jim?
00:58:32 There's nothing anybody can do for him.
00:58:37 - Then I can't ask you to go out there.
00:58:42 - Would it keep him quiet?
00:58:45 And I could maybe leave him
00:58:50 Couldn't you give 'em to him all at once?
00:59:10 That's whatyou are.
00:59:14 That's all there is for us.
00:59:17 I lost all twelve. I lost all twelve.
00:59:21 All twelve of'em.
00:59:23 It's insanity up there.
00:59:25 I told 'em what to do, I showed 'em
00:59:29 - Somebody help!
00:59:34 It's insane. I don't know who's in charge here,
00:59:39 I'm outta here. I'm outta here.
00:59:41 I'm outta here. All right, move feet.
00:59:45 I'm moving. I'm moving. I'm moving now.
00:59:47 Don't touch. Don't touch. Don't look at me.
00:59:52 All right. All right.
00:59:54 All right. All right.
01:00:14 Somebody help me!
01:00:16 Help me!
01:00:20 You gotta be quiet. I came to help you, Tella.
01:00:22 - OK. Calm down.
01:00:25 I'm dying! I'm dying, sarge!
01:00:28 OK. Well, goddamn it, do it with less noise!
01:00:31 - How you gonna get me out?
01:00:37 - Come on.
01:00:39 Put me down! Put me down!
01:00:46 Leave me alone... Leave me alone.
01:00:49 Please, leave me alone.
01:00:59 Give me more. Give me more.
01:01:02 Give me more. Give me more.
01:01:04 Give me more. Give me more.
01:01:09 Here, Tella.
01:01:19 Goodbye... goodbye.
01:01:25 Bye, kid.
01:01:26 Goodbye, sarge. Goodbye.
01:01:45 Fortunately, Jim, the fate of the company
01:01:53 Sergeant, I sawthe whole thing
01:01:56 I'm gonna mention you in orders tomorrow
01:02:01 - It's the most courageous thing...
01:02:03 you say one more word to thank me,
01:02:07 You mention me in your fuckin' orders,
01:02:11 and leave you here
01:02:16 You understand?
01:02:19 Property!
01:02:37 What's the matter with you, Staros? Those
01:02:41 What are they doing?
01:02:44 They're lying behind that ledge!
01:02:46 They should be up and out,
01:02:49 I don't think you understand
01:02:52 We've had... heavy casualties.
01:02:55 We had a man... His gut got shot out
01:03:00 Fine, fine. Now,
01:03:03 I have... two squads to...
01:03:06 First Platoon I can send up, sir. Over.
01:03:08 What the hell do you mean, two squads?!
01:03:11 Goddamn you, Staros!
01:03:14 goddamn it, I mean it! You commit
01:03:19 Your First Platoon, too. I see 'em
01:03:23 Get a man to 'em right now with orders to
01:03:28 Then get that Second Platoon over to the hill!
01:03:30 Have 'em press the centre.
01:03:34 Attack them right now!
01:03:35 Jesus, Staros! Do I have to give you
01:03:39 while your men
01:03:42 Colonel, I don't think you fully understand
01:03:45 My company alone
01:03:48 The Japs are too well dug in.
01:03:52 Colonel, there's a bunker up there.
01:03:54 We can't see it, and it's...
01:04:00 I request permission
01:04:04 to the right of Hill 210.
01:04:07 can be outflanked
01:04:10 - No! Goddamn it, no!
01:04:12 There'll be no flanking move.
01:04:14 Listen, Staros.
01:04:17 around into the jungle
01:04:20 Do you hear me, Staros? I wantyou to attack
01:04:26 Now, attack, Staros! That's a direct order!
01:04:37 Sir, I must tell you
01:04:54 - There it is, right there. See it?
01:04:59 This is notyour fault, Jim.
01:05:05 I again request permission for patrol
01:05:11 The time, sir,... is 1321 hours, 25 seconds.
01:05:15 I have two witnesses here. I request that
01:05:25 Staros, don't pull this
01:05:28 Now, I know you're a goddamn lawyer!
01:05:32 This is a war. It's a goddamn battle!
01:05:34 Now, I want that frontal attack.
01:05:39 Colonel, I refuse to take my men up there
01:05:43 It's suicide, sir.
01:05:45 I've lived with these men for two years, and
01:05:58 This is a very important decision, Staros.
01:06:04 But if youfeel that strongly, maybe
01:06:08 Go take a look.
01:06:10 I'm not rescinding my order to you, son,
01:06:13 but if I find extenuating circumstances
01:06:18 Now, in the meantime, goddamn it,
01:06:22 And, if possible, you get those men
01:06:39 One spot's as good as another, men.
01:06:41 There's no place to hide.
01:06:48 Just take it easy, son.
01:06:53 Where's... where's Fife?
01:06:55 Fife? He's right here, son. Fife.
01:06:58 Hold my hand, Fife.
01:07:01 Hold my hand.
01:07:08 I got it.
01:07:14 I'm dying, Fife.
01:07:42 Oh, Captain...
01:08:31 Shut up in a tomb.
01:08:35 Can't lift the lid.
01:08:39 Played a role I never conceived.
01:08:42 Get that blouse on, soldier.
01:08:46 Put it on right now.
01:08:47 What you aiming at, son?
01:08:51 Move up!
01:09:02 What are you doing laying down there
01:09:11 Observing, sir. Just sent
01:09:14 - How many of'em were hit this time?
01:09:18 None? Not one?
01:09:21 Doesn't sound like the situation
01:09:25 Well, it's not. The situation's changed
01:09:32 Captain, you listen to me.
01:09:34 We're going over there
01:09:37 Do you have any more complaints
01:09:41 - No, sir. Not now.
01:09:44 My way! You understand that, Captain?
01:09:47 We're taking everybody over to that ledge!
01:09:51 I thinkthe ridge
01:10:01 Show me howto see things the way you do.
01:10:07 Show me howto see things the way you do.
01:10:12 We're just dirt. We're just dirt.
01:10:38 We're gonna get killed if we stay here.
01:10:40 Bell, take six men
01:10:44 and go see what's up there.
01:10:51 And we'll cover you the best we can
01:12:10 OK.
01:12:12 You guys, you guys, stay here. OK?
01:12:15 I'm going alone.
01:13:53 Come out.
01:14:00 Come out where I am.
01:15:07 There was a... There was a...
01:15:11 There's a bunker... up there.
01:15:16 It's five guns.
01:15:18 It's five guns.
01:15:24 That strongpoint up there,
01:15:29 is the key to this ridge.
01:15:34 Bell here is quite right.
01:15:36 From their knob up there, those little brown
00:00:09 Now, goddamn it, that's a mistake.
00:00:13 We need to take advantage of it
00:00:19 All right, all right,
00:00:23 and we've had a hell of a time
00:00:27 For that I'm sorry. I apologise to you all.
00:00:31 But if we can reduce this bunker tomorrow,
00:00:38 So I'm asking for volunteers.
00:00:40 Go back up there and knock it out.
00:00:42 Sir?
00:00:44 I'll be glad to go back up
00:00:47 - and lead the way back for a party.
00:00:49 - I'll go, sir.
00:00:51 All right.
00:00:53 - I'd like to lead the party, Colonel.
00:00:57 - You'll be in command.
00:01:00 - Sir?
00:01:02 All right, men, that's enough.
00:01:09 I don't know if you realise the importance
00:01:15 Once our position is secured,
00:01:18 That means air power
00:01:23 Guadalcanal may be
00:01:27 - It'll cost lives. Is that what's troubling you?
00:01:34 I explained to you
00:01:37 How many men do you think it's worth?
00:01:40 I can't say, sir.
00:01:48 Are you prepared to sacrifice the lives
00:01:55 How many? One? Two?
00:01:58 Twenty?
00:02:01 Lives will be lost in your company, Captain.
00:02:05 And if you don't have the stomach for it,
00:02:10 No, sir. You're right...
00:02:14 Fine, fine.
00:02:16 That's all, Captain.
00:02:20 One more thing, Staros.
00:02:23 It's not necessary for you
00:02:27 Ever.
00:02:29 We'll assume it.
00:02:31 Dismissed.
00:02:49 I feel sorry for you, kid.
00:02:53 - Yeah?
00:02:58 This army's gonna kill you.
00:03:03 If you were smart, you'd take care of yourself.
00:03:09 You're just running into a burning house
00:03:25 What difference do you think you can make?
00:03:35 If you die, it's gonna be for nothing.
00:03:42 There's not some other world out there
00:03:46 There's just this one.
00:03:50 Just this rock.
00:04:27 Go ahead! Come on, come on.
00:04:30 Who's deciding who's gonna live?
00:04:33 Who's deciding who's gonna die?
00:04:37 This is futile!
00:04:41 Look at me!
00:04:46 Not one shot!
00:04:49 Why?
00:04:51 How come they all had to die?
00:04:53 I can stand right here, I can stand right up
00:05:17 We.
00:05:25 We together.
00:05:37 One being.
00:05:54 Flow together like water,
00:05:59 till I can't tell youfrom me.
00:06:18 I drink you.
00:06:22 Now.
00:06:27 Now.
00:07:04 You're my light.
00:07:09 My guide.
00:08:17 John, I'll be behind you.
00:08:20 We'll charge atyour whistle signal.
00:08:24 All right, let's go, men. Go get 'em.
00:10:16 OK.
00:10:19 Stay down, belowthis ledge,
00:10:21 and I'll call down the data from above.
00:10:25 Once the 81s have plastered that rock...
00:10:30 we're gonna crawl out
00:10:35 and then flank 'em to the right.
00:10:37 OK?
00:10:40 OK. OK.
00:11:02 Azimuth 1470... from Easy Roger 7.
00:11:08 100 left, add 200.
00:11:10 Uncle Baker 1, fire mission.
00:11:13 Azimuth 1470 from Easy Roger 7.
00:11:16 Left 100, add 200.
00:11:19 Machine gun. Will adjust. Over.
00:11:22 Understand. 1470 from Easy Roger 7.
00:11:39 Left 25, drop 50!
00:11:42 Left 25, Uncle Baker 1.
00:11:44 Left 25, drop 50.
00:11:46 Fire for effect. Over.
00:11:49 Roger, Uncle Baker 1.
00:12:12 Let's go!
00:12:28 OK, we're gonna continue on
00:12:32 Nobody fire or throwthe grenades
00:12:36 OK, let's do it.
00:12:52 Is he OK? Is he all right?
00:12:55 What we gonna do? Can't take him with us.
00:12:57 - No, we can't leave him here.
00:13:01 We can leave him and pick him up
00:13:09 - Is he dead?
00:13:11 Dale, stay with him!
00:13:38 Behind you!
00:13:54 We're pinned down!
00:14:25 Fall back!
00:14:32 Go!
00:15:41 Watch out.
00:16:20 Clear!
00:17:12 Come on. Get out.
00:17:15 Go on.
00:17:20 Think you're soldiers?
00:17:29 You piece of shit!
00:17:37 Son of a bitch!
00:17:39 Son of a bitch!
00:17:59 All right?
00:18:04 I shot a man.
00:18:39 Stinks around here.
00:18:43 - All these dead people.
00:20:05 Look at 'em move!
00:20:07 Look at 'em move!
00:20:09 We got 'em on the run!
00:20:11 Way to go, John. When they saw you
00:20:14 you put their hearts back into them.
00:20:16 - Hey, hey!
00:20:19 Take care of the others. G-2 will want them.
00:20:23 We've wasted enough time here. Let's go.
00:20:26 Sir, I've a few recommendations
00:20:29 Yes. We'll get everything for all of'em
00:20:32 Meantime, I wantyou to know I'm personally
00:20:36 Perhaps the big one.
00:20:38 - Thank you, sir, but I don't feel...
00:20:41 Getting it for you
00:20:44 But, hell, it'd be a big thing for the battalion
00:20:48 We better move out.
00:20:50 We need to extend our lines, hook up with
00:20:54 Would you like to take command
00:20:57 Of course.
00:20:58 Sir, I don't mean to be a wet blanket,
00:21:03 Don't worry about water.
00:21:06 John, I don't want anything to break up this
00:21:11 We'll have some water in a... couple of hours.
00:21:15 I've arranged for that.
00:21:17 Now, we just can't stop now, goddamn it,
00:21:21 No, sir.
00:21:23 That's right.
00:21:25 And if some of the men... pass out,
00:21:34 All right.
00:21:36 They could...
00:21:37 - They could die from it.
00:21:42 They're all tough boys.
00:21:49 Come on, men, let's go! You'll see
00:21:54 Are we going up this hill or aren't we?
00:22:00 John, I'm convinced that
00:22:04 All we have to do is keep going and we'll
00:22:09 You see the spirit in these men?
00:22:12 Well, I want to take advantage of that before
00:22:17 To have this battalion relieved in a defeat,
00:22:19 or even to have it reinforced
00:22:23 if we were to stall
00:22:26 Jesus Christ, that's just
00:22:30 I've waited all my life for this.
00:22:33 I've worked, slaved, eaten... oh, untold
00:22:37 And I don't intend to give it up now.
00:22:43 You don't know what it feels like
00:22:46 I mean, you're young.
00:22:49 You're, you know, you've gotyour war!
00:23:00 John, some day you'll understand.
00:23:09 You're like a son to me, John.
00:23:13 You know what my son does?
00:23:16 He's a bait salesman.
00:23:20 You've done a hell of a job, John.
00:23:23 I'm gonna make sure thatyou get everything,
00:23:29 Thank you, sir.
00:23:33 God...
00:23:36 Goddamn it! I want three runners!
00:23:39 Get me three runners!
00:23:40 You go backto the rear to find water
00:23:43 and get back here with it as fast as you can!
00:23:46 We attack in one hour!
00:23:50 We're going all the way! Nothing'll stop us.
00:23:52 It's high ground by nightfall!
00:24:17 You seen many dead people?
00:24:20 Plenty.
00:24:22 They're no different than dead dogs,
00:24:26 once you get used to the idea.
00:24:32 They're meat, kid.
00:24:50 Are you righteous? Kind?
00:24:55 Does your confiidence lie in this?
00:25:01 Are you loved by all?
00:25:05 Know that I was, too.
00:25:10 Do you imagine your sufferings will be less
00:25:15 Truth?
00:29:06 Get fucking on the ground!
00:29:10 Get down. Stay there.
00:29:20 Get on the ground!
00:29:24 Now!
00:30:23 This great evil.
00:30:27 Where's it come from?
00:30:34 How'd it steal into the world?
00:30:47 What seed, what root did it growfrom?
00:30:55 Who's doing this?
00:31:00 Who's killing us?
00:31:06 Robbing us of life and light.
00:31:13 Mocking us with the sight
00:31:41 Does our ruin benefiit the Earth?
00:31:46 Does it help the grass to grow
00:31:55 Is this darkness in you, too?
00:32:03 Have you passed through this night?
00:32:12 I'm gonna sink my teeth into your liver.
00:32:18 You're dying.
00:32:31 See them birds up there?
00:32:35 You knowthey eatyou raw?
00:32:42 Where you're going,
00:33:53 What are you to me?
00:34:01 Nothing.
00:36:18 Have a seat here.
00:36:30 Staros, I'm relieving you of your command.
00:36:36 Lieutenant Band will take over for you.
00:36:40 I already told him.
00:36:52 It's a hard thing to do.
00:36:55 Difficult decision to make.
00:37:00 I don't think you're tough enough.
00:37:03 You're too soft. You're just too softhearted.
00:37:12 Anyway, it's my decision to make.
00:37:17 I don't like to see my men get killed, sir.
00:37:27 Have you ever had anyone
00:37:30 Have you?
00:37:45 I don't see any reason
00:37:48 I don't want it in the records of the battalion.
00:37:53 This has nothing to do with
00:38:00 Look at this jungle.
00:38:02 Look at those vines, the way they twine
00:38:09 Nature's cruel, Staros.
00:38:20 I'm going to letyou apply for reassignment
00:38:26 for reasons of ill health.
00:38:28 You're a lawyer.
00:38:29 - You had malaria yet?
00:38:31 Doesn't matter. I can fix that.
00:38:34 Anyway, you probably will have it.
00:38:37 I'm also recommending you
00:38:40 And I'll recommend it in such a way
00:38:44 Might as well have the Purple Heart, too.
00:38:50 Why?
00:38:51 Because of that scratch on your face
00:38:57 Listen to me, Staros.
00:38:58 I think it's bestyou go back with
00:39:02 It is no goddamn good for you
00:39:06 The quieter we keep this,
00:39:43 This is from Colonel Tall.
00:39:46 "Our victory gives us
00:39:51 "It will prove a milestone
00:39:55 "Tomorrow the division commander
00:40:00 "After the inspection we're to be relieved by a
00:40:07 "I've secured for the battalion
00:40:15 That's all.
00:42:07 Hours like months.
00:42:12 Days like years.
00:42:17 Walked into the golden age.
00:42:23 Stood on the shores of the New World.
00:42:36 I would've come by
00:42:38 but...
00:42:43 I just felt like being alone, you know?
00:42:47 Yeah?
00:42:59 We wanted to thank you, sir.
00:43:05 For asking to make that flanking move.
00:43:09 For watching out for us.
00:43:13 Keeping us together.
00:43:20 We're all sorry to see you go.
00:43:22 We feel like you got a rotten deal.
00:43:27 Well, I'm not sure thatyou're right.
00:43:32 Tough part is...
00:43:36 not knowing if you're doing any good.
00:43:40 That's the hard part.
00:43:44 But it doesn't matter. I don't care.
00:43:47 I'm glad to be going.
00:43:50 I'm glad.
00:43:52 - There's still time. We could file a complaint.
00:43:57 What good would that do?
00:44:01 Anyway, I wanna go.
00:44:05 Leave it alone. Let it lay.
00:44:20 What does that mean, sir?
00:44:24 It means "You've been like my sons".
00:44:37 You are my sons.
00:44:40 My dear sons.
00:44:46 You live inside me now.
00:44:52 I'll carry you wherever I go.
00:45:09 Can't nothing make youforget it.
00:45:16 Each time you start from scratch.
00:45:23 War don't ennoble men.
00:45:27 It turns 'em into dogs.
00:45:35 Poisons the soul.
00:46:38 My dear wife,
00:46:43 you get something twisted out of your
00:46:58 I wanna stay changeless for you.
00:47:03 I wanna come back to you
00:47:14 How do we get to those other shores?
00:47:20 To those blue hills.
00:47:32 Love.
00:47:43 Where does it come from?
00:47:53 Who lit this flame in us?
00:48:01 No war can put it out,
00:48:05 conquer it.
00:48:14 I was a prisoner.
00:48:21 You set me free.
00:48:27 No matter how much training you got,
00:48:30 how careful you are,
00:48:33 it's a matter of luck
00:48:37 Makes no difference who you are,
00:48:44 if you're in the wrong spot
00:48:58 I look at that boy dying,
00:49:02 I don't feel nothing.
00:49:07 I don't care about nothing any more.
00:49:14 Sounds like bliss.
00:49:21 I don't have that feeling yet.
00:49:24 That numbness.
00:49:27 Not like the rest of you guys.
00:49:33 Maybe cos I knew what to expect.
00:49:38 Maybe I was just frozen up already.
00:50:23 I haven't touched another woman
00:50:27 Or talked to one.
00:50:33 I don't wanna...
00:50:35 I don't wanna feel the desire.
00:51:13 All right. Abrahams!
00:51:15 Abrahams. Here you go.
00:51:17 Stack! Where's Stack?
00:51:19 Bring him out.
00:51:21 Bell?
00:51:23 Bell!
00:51:26 Another one for Bell. Another one for Bell.
00:51:31 Dear Jack,
00:51:34 I've met an Air Force captain.
00:51:42 I want a divorce to marry him.
00:51:50 I know you can say no,
00:51:54 out of the memory of what we had together.
00:52:03 Forgive me.
00:52:06 It just got too lonely, Jack.
00:52:28 We'll meet again some day.
00:52:33 People who have been as close as we've been
00:52:45 I have no right to speak to you this way.
00:52:48 I can't stop myself.
00:52:51 A habit so strong.
00:52:55 Oh, my friend of all those shining years.
00:53:01 Help me leave you!
00:54:27 What's your name?
00:55:38 We were a family.
00:55:43 How'd it break up and come apart?
00:55:49 So that now we're turned against each other.
00:55:54 Each standing in the other's light.
00:56:05 How did we lose the good that was given us?
00:56:10 Let it slip away?
00:56:14 Scatter it careless?
00:56:36 What's keeping us from reaching out?
00:56:39 Touching the glory?
00:56:43 I'd have had you, Witt, if you was a Jap,
00:56:47 long ago.
00:56:50 They leave you here?
00:56:54 Yup.
00:56:55 I slowed 'em up.
00:56:58 Don't mind, really.
00:57:01 The medic fixed me up pretty good.
00:57:03 I got plenty of ammo.
00:57:08 Somebody'll be along for me eventually.
00:57:15 - They gotyou good.
00:57:18 Yeah.
00:57:19 I'm out of this war for good, Witt.
00:57:27 - Whatyou doin' down here?
00:57:30 I'm heading backto the company.
00:57:33 Yeah.
00:57:36 Well, you give all them boys my best.
00:57:38 You can come with me if you want.
00:57:40 I'll help you along.
00:57:44 No, it's nice and quiet.
00:57:47 Peaceful up here.
00:57:51 I'd just slow you up.
00:57:58 I'll remind 'em.
00:58:00 OK.

00:59:40 Who you making trouble for today?
00:59:43 What d'you mean?
00:59:46 Well, isn't that whatyou like to do?
00:59:49 Turn left when they say go right?
00:59:58 Why are you such a troublemaker, Witt?
01:00:02 You care about me, don'tyou, Sergeant?
01:00:06 I always felt like you did.
01:00:10 Why do you always
01:00:14 One day I can come up and talkto you,
01:00:17 by the next day it's like we never even met.
01:00:35 Lonely house now.

01:00:41 Only around people.
01:00:45 Only around people.
01:00:51 You still believing in the beautiful light,
01:01:02 How do you do that?
01:01:06 You're a magician to me.
01:01:16 I still see a spark in you.
01:01:43 One man looks at a dying bird and
01:01:50 But death's got the fiinal word.
01:01:55 It's laughing at him.
01:02:06 Another man sees that same bird,
01:02:12 feels the glory.
01:02:18 Feels something smiling through him.
01:03:16 We need to get out of here right now.
01:03:18 - You explain to... headquarters the situation?
01:03:23 Do they know where we are?
01:03:28 Well, I thinkthat's...
01:03:33 I think we just need to send somebody
01:03:38 It's easy.
01:03:40 Hey, Weld...
01:03:43 The fire's coming closer, sir.
01:03:45 Line's cut!
01:03:49 We need to send somebody out there

01:04:20 I'll go. I wantyou to know
01:04:25 If they come down here in any strength,

01:04:32 No, I wanna go, sir. In case
01:04:37 All right. You stay by the river.
01:04:39 That jungle's too thick. And be very careful.

01:04:46 You OK, Fife?
01:06:12 A reinforce battalion.
01:06:16 We need to go back.
01:06:18 Tell the lieutenant.
01:06:23 Let's go.
01:06:41 I'm hit!
01:07:40 One of us needs to stay here and hold 'em off.
01:07:50 We'll be all right.
01:07:56 My friend here doesn't have long,
01:07:59 so... you go.
01:08:03 You go on ahead.
01:08:27 Witt!

01:09:16 I gotta go. I don't wantyou to be afraid.
01:09:20 Just hide out here till you hear firing,
01:09:24 No.
01:10:04 - Where's Coombs?
01:10:09 Fall back.
01:10:12 Where's Witt? Fife, where's Witt?
01:10:21 Fife, where's Witt?
01:10:26 Fife. Fife, where's Witt?
01:12:08 America.
01:14:52 Where's your spark now?
01:15:16 Now, I know you men have been
01:15:20 That's OK by me.
01:15:21 Everything a lie.
01:15:23 Any man in my outfit
01:15:27 Everything you hear and see.
01:15:29 As long as he's in shape to make reveille
01:15:33 If he can't do that,
01:15:37 - So much to spew out.
01:15:40 and that's what we all are here,
01:15:43 We are a family.
01:15:46 I'm the father.
01:15:49 Guess that makes
01:15:52 They just keep coming, one after another.
01:15:55 That makes you all the children in this family.
01:15:58 Now, a family can have only one head,
01:16:02 Father's the head, mother runs it.
01:16:06 - If any of you wanna see me about anything,
01:16:10 - anything at all,
01:16:12 you will find that I am available.
01:16:14 This war is not gonna be over
01:16:17 It's gonna be a long time
01:16:20 They wantyou dead.
01:16:24 Or in their lie.
01:16:31 Only one thing a man can do.
01:16:36 Find something that's his.
01:16:41 Make an islandfor himself.
01:16:56 If I never meetyou in this life,
01:17:00 let me feel the lack.
01:17:10 A glance from your eyes,
01:18:01 Somethin' I can come backto.
01:18:05 I mean, I don't know what, you know,
01:18:10 I'm determined now.
01:18:14 You know, I may be young,
01:18:18 I'm ready to start living it good.
01:18:20 You know, my daddy always told me it's
01:18:25 You know, cos life ain't supposed to be
01:18:29 Well, I figure after this
01:18:33 It's time for things to get better.
01:18:38 That's what's gonna happen.
01:18:41 I'm getting older now.
01:18:44 By no means old, but older.
01:18:47 Where is it that we were together?
01:18:53 Who were you that I lived with?
01:19:00 Walked with?
01:19:08 The brother.
01:19:17 The friend.
01:19:44 Darkness from light.
01:19:47 Strife from love.
01:19:51 Are they the workings of one mind?
01:19:55 The features of the same face?
01:20:12 Oh, my soul,
01:20:15 let me be in you now.
01:20:23 Look out through my eyes.
01:20:27 Look out at the things you made.
01:20:34 All things shining.
