"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. Bu ... "

"The 25 titles to be inducted in the National Film Registry for 2007 include some of my favorite films: George Cukor’s The Women; Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven; Nicholas Ray’s pitch-black In a Lonely Place; and, of course, my favorite franchise film of all time, Back to the Future. The full list, as well as thoughts from NFR advisory board member Dave Kehr, can be found here; see an extended clip from the Ray film above. Originally posted on:SpoutBlog » karina "

"Normally, watching a wheat field blow in the wind is as stimulating as watching cement settle, and yet it was simple images like this which earned Days of Heaven the award for Best Cinematography at the 1978 Academy Awards. Written and directed by Terrence Malick, Days of Heaven is the story about a couple traveling as migrant workers who become entangled with a wealthy land owner in the midst of the American industrial emergence. Working with cinematographer Nestor Almendros, they created one of the most visually notable motion pictures of its time. Despite its inability to capture a mass audience, its cinematic elements have rightfully earned it a spot on most film critics’ top lists. Unmarried and yet very much in love, Richard Gere and Brook Adams play Bill and Abby who flee westward after Bill, in the heat of an argument, kills a man in a factory. His little sister, Linda, whose innocent yet straight forward voice narrates the film, travels along with them. Her voice ... "

"This movie didn't leave me feeling sad, confused or hopeful - but I wish it would have. Those feelings would have at least had closure. Instead it left me thinking about starting over in life alone...as a different person. It made me think about what my life would turn into if all of my friends and relations died or were missing - would I be able to forget my previous life? Would I be able to move on as a person similar to the one I was before? It made me think about an article I had just read about a lady whose husband beat her and then murdered their two kids, and then how she remarried and had two more kids. It made me think about the resilience of humans and how people just keep living and move on. "
