The Thin Red Line
Movie • 1998 • Drama
ReportBased on the graphic novel by James Jones, The Thin Red Line tells the story of a group of men, an Army Rifle company called C-for-Charlie, who change, suffer, and ultimately make essential discoveries about themselves during the fierce World War II battle of Guadalcanal. It follows their journey, from the surprise of an unopposed landing, through the bloody and exhausting battles that follow, to the ultimate departure of those who survived. A powerful frontline cast - including Sean Penn, Nick Nolte, Woody Harrelson and George Clooney - explodes into action in this hauntingly realistic view of military and moral chaos in the Pacific during World War II.

A baby bird is caught in the crossfire. An alligator is tied down in a truckbed; unclear what is going to happen to it.

Not directly shown on screen. Someone accidentally lets a grenade go off in their hand and they talk about how they wouldn’t be able to have sex anymore if they survive.

Not in a POW sense but in a “getting shot and waiting to die” sense.

Racist remarks against Japanese soldiers; some sexism that was common at the time, especially in the military.
