BTW the budget for this was 300k, which is less than 2.5 million in today's dollars. Pretty impressive!
I disagree...I found the gradual disillusionment very well done and both Sheen and Spacek's characters were fleshed out well enough (they are simple characters, and relatable). At the beginning of the movie I thought to myself how Sheen looked like James Dean before they talked about it in the movie, and as it went on I saw him for who he was.

i don't get the appeal of any of Mallicks movies
his movies are like watching a commercial for eco-friendly handsoap
tree of life was literally an evangelical infomercial like they used to play when i was a kid before early morn cartoons

What a movie. I'm an instant fan and I loved the pacing. What did you guys think of it?

It's not that his quality dropped off, he's obviously one of the most acclaimed directors ever. But his style completely changed and most audiences don't like it. I'm one of them

commercials unironically take more skill and look better than most movies, especially when it's shot on film, most of the great 80s and 90s blockbuster directors started out in commercials
malick has sucked ever since he switched to digital, the fricking dinosaur scene in the tree of life was the beginning of the end
they're comfy and yo sound too cynical to be able to enjoy them. If you can't enjoy Badlands for being a simply road film with great cinematography and good acting with a simple plot i don't know what to tell you
Here is one of my favorite shots from the film

Shit pacing.
Does a pretty good job at exposing the nature of the eternal w*man
Nice movie. Found it through this kino music vid:

This was a uniquely American film and I loved it!
True romance was better
literally his only good movie

Badlands is a conventional road movie, very different from Malick's recent works.
it transcends the conventional cinematic language

you need a soul to appreciate malick's movies, sorry anon.
I didn't care for it. Although in fairness, I haven't seen it.

>pacing
Days of Heaven is better.
My brother's wife sounds and looks dead on like Spascek in this.
>Then the rain came and warshed the rutts awhay.
Etc etc
It's just a beautifully framed turd of a film.
The movie should have been an hour longer, the story happens too fast, too much is left to narration.
boring and very unoriginal
For me its the extended cut of The New World.
