Year: 1978
Director: Terrence Malick
Plot: Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven, the long-awaited follow-up to his 1973 debut Badlands, confirmed his reputation as a visual poet and narrative iconoclast with a story of love and murder told through the jaded voice of a child and expressive images of nature. In 1916, Chicago steelworker Bill (Richard Gere, stepping in for John Travolta) flees to Texas with his little sister Linda (Linda Manz) and girlfriend Abby (Brooke Adams) after fatally erupting at his boss. Along with other itinerant laborers, they work the harvest at a wealthy, ailing farmer's ranch, but the farmer (playwright Sam Shepard) falls in love with Abby, and, believing her to be Bill's sister, asks the three to stay on at his elysian spread. Seeing it as his one real chance to escape perpetual poverty, Bill urges Abby to marry the sick man. Marriage, however, has more restorative powers, and the farmer has more magnetism, than Bill had planned. "Nobody's perfect," Linda impassively observes in one of her many voiceovers, after their brief paradise is erased by plagues of locusts, fire, and lethal jealousy. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

Body: [quote user="Risselada"] Please reference this thread for the rules of this group. Is anyone looking forward to Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life which should be coming out some time in 2009? I believe shooting has wrapped and they are into post production. It will be interesting to see what Malick does with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn. And interesting to see both of them starring in a movie together. Although I will admit that I enjoy each subsequent Malick movie less than the previous one. Is anyone else looking forward to this film? Do you feel like Malick's best days are behind him or is he still gearing up for his best? Please vote only once in each poll. Movies referenced in this poll:BadlandsDays of HeavenThe New WorldThe Thin Red Line [/quote] The one I haven't seen is Thin Red Line; I just never got around to it. Got bored with The New World & didn't finish watching. Days of Heaven was just depressing, as much for the relentless, unending expanse of wheat as for the downer of a story and blandness of characters. My vote went to Badlands; it really is my favorite of the lot. Certainly more exciting than the others. Although each of Malick's films have been a disappointment to some degree, I'm curious to see Tree of Life. The premises, trailers and cast always look so interesting, so I keep being drawn in by new hope.

Body: [quote user="JimBell"] I read about Malick before I'd seen any of hismovies, and I thought he sounded like my type of director. I've only seen The New World and The Thin Red Line, and they were both poor. The New World was so ideologically driven that the characters were ludicrous. I voted for The Thin Red Line because some of the action is good and some of the cinematography is memorable, but I could not keep the characters straight so that I could care about them. [/quote] I know what your are saying Jim. Badlands is his first, and one of my favorite movies of all time! Days of Heaven is also great, but not quite a masterpiece. I understand your objections to the films you saw, and I feel that if his next film is worse than all the rest it might not be worth seeing.

Body: [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="csprague"] [quote user="leeroy711"] [quote user="csprague"] Hey there, I was thinking of maybe switching up format a bit and starting a thread that's genre specific. I don't know about you all, but some times it's easier for me to just think of a genre that I am interested in rather than to try and follow a template for getting a recommendation. So, recently I have been most interested in historical drama, but every time I go to a auto-generating recommendation engine I seem to get a bunch of films I have already seen. I have a hard time believing that I have exhausted the Historical Drama library, so I thought I would ask you all for some of your favorites or if you know of any lesser-known movies that you wouldn't typically see in a rec. engine. [/quote] I guess the obvious follow-up question would be: what parts of history are you most interested in? There's a hell of a lot to choose from. [/quote] Good questions. Well, I am pretty fascinated by Turn-of the-Century kinds of films, ie Sense and Sensability. But I also really liked Shakespeare in Love, Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth, and Braveheart. Oh, and for some reason, i really liked The Patriot. So, I am not sure if i have an attachment to a certain time period really. Oh and The New World was severely under-appreciated in my opinion. [/quote] You may appreciate Malick's Days of Heaven for turn of the century stuff. I thought the story was a bit too slow (as with all of Malick's stuff) but (also with all Malick's stuff) the cinematography was absolutely beautiful. Also check out HBO's series Carnivale. It's somewhat of historical drama/sci fi. As far as the epic drama stuff is concerned, I highly suggest Luc Besson's Messenger. Dustin Hoffman plays a great little part. [/quote] Days of Heaven was a movie I watched for a film class. It was slow, heavy, long, and at the end i was so depressed I wanted the world to end. But the more I talked to people about it, and after watching some other Malick, I started liking it. Weird how that happens with some movies. I actually just added Besson's The Messenger that other day. Thanks!

Body: This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown round #2”. Read more about that here.The New WorldWell it's strange but I seem to like each of Malick's subsequent movies less and less. Badlands is one of my absolute favoirtes of all time. In the cold, decisive world of movie ratings I gave it at 10. Days of Heaven I gave a 9, The Thin Red Line an 8, and The New World a 7.I feel like the movies are losing the inherent ironic humor of his characters and narration for something that's trying to be more poetic and profound in it's sincerity. It's not connecting with me as much.I don't think I ever really connect with Malick's characters. I guess at first I didn't think we were supposed to. But now he uses the same distancing techniques on conjunction with techniques that seem to be striving for the opposite. I won't deny the cinematography is gorgeous. The worlds and history come alive to an extent that is rare on screen. But the message seems trite. Which is fine in irony, but doesn't work as much in sincerity.Rating: 7/10
