“I’ve seen another world” - Jim Caviezel as Private Witt is The Thin Red Line.
One of my favorite scenes in Jim’s entire career. I’ve always felt Jim was at his best in those one-on-one scenes. Just him and another actor, talking. And that was the perfect scene to highlight with those recent increased gif limits :-)

If this doesn’t make you happy...
You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?
I just found the greatest thing.
This is a canary resuscitator.
When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.
By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.
Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!
im literally so jealous like i feel actual anger over the fact that i was not there
