Spencer, Benjamin P. "“Show Me How To See Things the Way You Do: Existentialism in Faith, Philosophy and Film." (A
 thesis 
submitted 
in 
partial 
fulfillment 
of 
the 
requirements for 
graduation
 with 
Honors 
in 
Religion at Whitman College 2010) ["In 
this 
cross‐disciplinary 
thesis, 
I 
use 
Paul 
Tillich’s 
theological
concept, 
“Absolute
 Faith,” 
and 
Albert 
Camus’ 
philosophical
 notion 
of 
“the
 absurd” 
to 
uncover 
the
 existential 
dimensions 
of 
the 
1998 
film 
The 
Thin 
Red 
Line, 
written 
and 
directed 
by
 Terrence 
Malick. 
The 
film
 explores
 the 
lives 
of 
several 
soldiers 
involved
 in 
the 
Battle
 of 
Guadalcanal, 
and 
I 
argue 
that 
Malick
 uses 
the 
context 
of 
World 
War 
II 
as 
a 
larger
 metaphor 
for 
the 
existential 
conflict
 that 
faces 
human 
beings. 
By 
employing 
the
 theology 
of
 Tillich 
and 
the 
philosophy 
of 
Camus, 
I 
investigate 
the 
overarching
 existential 
themes
 of
 Malick’s 
film, 
and 
conclude 
that 
The 
Thin 
Red 
Line 
provides 
its
 audience 
with 
a 
different 
perspective, 
and 
a 
subsequent 
vocabulary 
with 
which 
to
 navigate 
meaningfully 
the 
inherently 
tragic 
terms 
of 
human 
existence."]
