Saving Private Ryan: 1 line the host's read ×1

What the speakers say drew on it, marked the same way.

Pearl Harbor: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. craft (music borrowed): The Thin Red Line ⇒ Pearl Harbor (the host's read). Disney used the Thin Red Line score in the Pearl Harbor trailer without permission, and Malick later cashed that in.
    “Disney uses the score for the thin red line, um, when they, uh, when they do the Pearl Harbor trailer.”

Hans Zimmer: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (score should have won): Hans Zimmer → The Thin Red Line. The Thin Red Line score should have won the Oscar even though it is unusually deployed in the film.
    “Hans Stimmer should have won for the thin red line, although I think that score is sort of oddly deployed in the movie.”

Jack Fisk: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Jack Fisk → The Thin Red Line. After years away, Terrence Malick brought Fisk back for The Thin Red Line.
    “And then it's like, he's gone until Malik resuscitates him for a thin red line.”

Randy Newman: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Randy Newman → The Thin Red Line. Randy Newman's Pleasantville score is rated better than the Thin Red Line score and the likelier winner that year.
    “is better, I think, than Red Line is probably your actual winner there.”
