We discuss The Thin Red Line with Steven DeLay, after first going much deeper into Terrence Malick's background. Considering many remarkable and little known facts about Malick's biography, we analyze his relationship to the academia/media/intelligence culture creating complex. We then talk about Malick's late 90s epic war film The Thin Red Line, discussing whether the underlying religious message is essentially Christian or pantheistic and unpacking the significance of the film's notable casting choices. https://twitter.com/StevenDeLay4 https://stevendelay.com/ https://sunypress.edu/Books/L/Life-Above-the-Clouds https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyop https://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinema http://psyop-cinema.com/ https://linktr.ee/psyopcinema [email protected] [email protected]
