Nevers seen a war movie as gripping and gritty as this. My grandad would be proud. Difference is the others were emotional explosions...this movie burnt senses and ignited hearts. Isn't war truthfully about death but beauty in human nature. The power to actually love a brother/nation for the greater good. Does this even exist anymore. Regardless...absoloute genius of a movie. E kotias should have won an Oscar.
The best ever music soundtrack i've ever heard. I do listen to it over and over for years. The music reflects like in the movie every philosophical spheres of men realisations and destiny. Awsome...
I've listened to this track too much lol & recently upgraded headphones. In doing so, I heard someone in the orchestra's watch alarm beep around the 5:02 mark and now I can't unhear it lol.
Mike Mannion This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the sun to shine? Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?
If you are looking for that haunting refrain that sets the soul into some beautiful, yet uneasy and hyper-vigilant, sturm und drang hovering 3 or 4 metres above the plane of the ecliptic: it is here.
I feel like a lot of people might see that as a shortcoming of the film but I think the soundtrack is inseparable from the film. Zimmer composed it in close collaboration with Mallick before filming began, after Mallick wrote the screenplay. All the themes of the movie are encapsulated in the score. Mallick apparently played the music on set before filming to get everyone into the right mood and mindset. The music wouldn't exist without the film and vice versa, kind of like Star Wars, it's not just that the movie wouldn't be the same, it just wouldn't exist.
@@hotcakesismSix years on from my comment, I like the film even more. I've given consideration to the fact that it came out roughly at the same time Saving Private Ryan did and might have been overshadowed.
There is actually a musician from the 70s who made his own instruments to make the same sounds as this track. He was Hans Zimmer inspiration for the style of the TRD soundtrack. Anyone know his name? There is a video of him on RUclips on some television show from the 77 or 78 where he uses the instruments to make that a,among sound like the intro of this track.
Yes - it's risky or sloppy to compare this film with 'Saving Private Ryan'; as they take place in different theatres of war (Europe & the Pacific), so too are they set within different sensibilities. 'Ryan' is about a tangible, material morality/ethos ('Earn this", "Every man I kill takes me farther from home.") and is a philosophical treatise - in plain speak - on the socio-historical meaning of sacrifice. Like 'The Tree of Life", "To the Wonder", and "Knight of Cups" to some extent, "The Thin Red Line" is a essentially a 'religious' film, for which Malick uses Guadalcanal as a context to ruminate on his perennial artistic theme: an energetic yet static transcendence ["Grace"] displaced by a kind of spiritual vanity ["Evil", flux - in "The Tree of Life", evolution itself seems to be blinded by this flux, incapable of settling into grace]. To play one off the other - a film snob's parlour game - is to miss the point. What we have is two of the best films made about WW 2 happening to come along in the same year.
Nolte didn't go crazy. The man pulling teeth out of the Japanese, that was crazy. Nolte's character was more grounded as he represented an aging LT. Colonel that had been passed over from promotion. Then, out of the blue, he's put in a position that he thought he'd never be in, an actual war. In many way, he reminds me of Eisenhower, if he had still remained in the Pacific under MacArthur's command. He would have found himself as a man past middle age, leading men into combat for the first time.
Me too Claire....It tends to get played when Witt is having his quiet moments. I too love that last bit that comes in at 7-19...very moving, and my favourite. There is a longer piece of that ending, but you'll have to hunt around for it. I heard it once but I did not keep it.
I know I'm very late here: This piece of music is an old hymn called "The Christian Race" that was used by Hans Zimmer in several other cues, too; most notably at the end of "Light".
In my opinion, Hans Zimmer should have won the Oscar for this score.
Agree !
Agree
He should of won many times..lol
Agreed.
Amazing musical accompaniment

It is the best war movie ever made. Terence Malik and hans Zimmer are genious. I have watched it more than 20 times and never enough.
Probably one of the most beautiful OST from Hans Zimmer
The OST from "Dunkirk" was also good, but not as good as beautiful as this one.
Hans Zimmers finest OST
Dunkirk...Thin Red Line...Duna...Interestellar...Blade Runner 2049...all the bests
This piece has the characteristic of being timeless and resonates an infinite homesickness.
The best ever music soundtrack i've ever heard. I do listen to it over and over for years. The music reflects like in the movie every philosophical spheres of men realisations and destiny. Awsome...
Le Gaulois There are days when I'll listen to the soundtrack over and over again.
goosebumps when you listen to the whole soundtrack, Zimmer is a genius!
Definitely a genius
Hans Zimmer is a genius
Une des plus belles musiques de film que je connaisse pour un chef d’œuvre de Malick. Indémodable.
I've listened to this track too much lol & recently upgraded headphones. In doing so, I heard someone in the orchestra's watch alarm beep around the 5:02 mark and now I can't unhear it lol.
What a masterpiece. I love this movie so much... so much...
My favorite movie soundtracks:
1. Jaws
2. The Thing
3. The Thin Red Line
4. The Shining
The Mission
This music is so emotional.
All they sacrificed for me. Poured out like water on the ground. All I might have given for love's sake. Too late. Dying. Slow as a tree.

Love is sacrifice.

One of my favorite films of all time, easily!

He was in tune with the forces of nature when he composed this.
The best soundtrack ever.
Brilliant! The film was good but without the excellent soundtrack it wouldn't have been as complete.

Please tell me this won the Oscar for best soundtrack...
Nope but it should have

Interesting. Waiting.

Yes! You nailed it and I wish people would just appreciate this film (and SPR) for what it is and what they were striving for when they made it.
Hans Zimmer...the best!!
The Best of thé best
2:05 wheres your spark now?
Tied for best picture with Saving Private Ryan. It's really too bad both films came out the same year.
deep reflections to the stupidity of war
Let me not betray my man!!!
Nick Nolte going grazy
he definitely didn't need to go far for that role LOL!!! Loved it though. Great performance...

kim rasmussen 4:33
Nice act of Nick Nolte. The best in the all movie. High octane
3:46 I wondered how it would be when I die. If i could meet it with the same ... peace.
Calm not peace.
4:33
Eos Rododaktulos, rosy fingered dawn.
Poignant music trying to one day emerge from your own war
I figured Jim Caviezel and Ben Chaplain would go on to even bigger things but twas not to be.
0:58 I hear a bit of Arvo Pärt’s Annum per annum in there.
Staros.. 7:18 very touching moment
Yes, then when the flame flickered it was almost as if if it was Gods presence there
7:19 - 8:00
Is there a longer version of that piece? I love it. It plays through the film a lot.

I think the song that you're looking for is called "Light," it's definitely my favorite from this soundtrack
I know I'm very late here: This piece of music is an old hymn called "The Christian Race" that was used by Hans Zimmer in several other cues, too; most notably at the end of "Light".
1:07 Shades of Interstellar?
Other way round
The full soundtrack is five hours long. For whatever reason, even the second cd (which for me is the best one) isn't even on youtube - really annoying
He talks about the unofficial ultimate edition. You can find it on ChiefDundees blog in the comment section.
Reminds me of Akatsuki theme.
Needs a real sound system. Pardon. Deserves.
The album disappeared from Apple Music WTF
WHY?
