What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on James Jones' novel «The Thin Red Line» (1962).
  • The expression «thin red line» in English refers to fighting at the limit of human endurance. The phrase originated during the Battle of Balaclava in the Crimean War, when a British reporter present on the battlefield described the defending Scottish regiment (who wore red uniforms in the British army at the time) as a «thin red line bristling with bayonets».
  • Mickey Rourke's relatively extensive role was completely cut from the final version of the film. The actor is the sole possessor of a complete copy of the film. Adrian Brody's screen time was also significantly reduced.
  • The film's total runtime is 6 hours.
  • The thin red line is not just a topographic marker. It is how defensive lines held by soldiers of a single unit stretched over several kilometers are indicated on military maps.
  • The film was not shot on Guadalcanal Island, but on the northeastern coast of Australia (Daintree Rainforest), in the state of Queensland.
  • Woody Harrelson initially argued with the director for a long time about how his character should die. He felt that dying from a grenade explosion (which was ultimately shown in the film) was too insignificant and did not match his star status at the time. Terrence Malick prevailed when he promised to add a certain percentage of the income to Woody's fee.
