The Thin Red Line: Philosophers on Film, cartea 1
Autor Davies David Editat de David Daviesen Limba Engleză Hardback – sep 2008
This is the first collection dedicated to exploring the philosophical aspects of Malick’s film. Opening with a helpful introduction that places the film in context, five essays, four of which were specially commissioned for this collection, go on to examine the following:
- the exploration of Heideggerian themes ߝ such as being-towards-death and the vulnerability of Dasein’s world ߝ in The Thin Red Line
- how Malick’s film explores and cinematically expresses the embodied nature of our experience of, and agency in, the world
- Malick’s use of cinematic techniques, and how the style of his images shapes our affective, emotional, and cognitive responses to the film
- the role that images of nature play in Malick’s cinema, and his ‘Nietzschean’ conception of human nature.
Contributors: Simon Critchley, Hubert Dreyfus and Camilo Prince, David Davies, Amy Coplan, Iain Macdonald.

Recenzii
'The Thin Red Line is an intense and illuminating collection of essays, covering a breadth of approaches to this film, ranging from philosophical film analysis motivated by a Heideggerian approach to an in-depth discussion of filmic techniques. As such, it is a valuable contribution to the growing field of film and philosophy… Its emphasis on the philosophical significance of human limitations and finitude brings out what is unique and important about The Thin Red Line in clear and intelligent prose, shedding much-needed light on this extraordinary film.' ߝ Havi Carel, UWE Bristol, UK
'This is an exciting new anthology on one of the most philosophical of filmmakers. The essays are original, provocative, and ruminative - just like Malick's work - and explore how film itself may serve as a spur to our philosophical reflections regarding death, calm, humanity, sense, and nature.' ߝ Daniel Flory, Montana State University, USA
