Kevin Dessimoz - The Thin Red Line

This film is full of many tense scenes that put the viewer on the edge of their seat. The most powerful scene, in my opinion, is at the very end of the film when Witt draws the Japanese away from the rest of the men as a decoy. He knows this is a death mission but takes it anyways. He is eventually surrounded by the Japanese, but he has accepted death. Earlier in the film his mother was shown dying in peace and Witt wanted the same sort of death. It was compelling to see a man accept death in order to save the rest of the troops.
