Knight of Cups annoyed me
It’s literally his best film
>He doesn't like the movie where Portman gets her toes sucked.
gay
I watched his first movie and I don't plan watching anything else from him.
Ironically his style doesn't develop until his second movie, and really not till his third.
However, Badlands is still a good film, so you just got filtered.

There is no such argument. He just does what other filmmakers can't. He gets it and they don't, simple as
He's a bad screenwriter. He maybe has good story ideas, but he needs to hire someone else to do the screenplays or work closely with someone on them. He is one of the best in terms of moments of beauty but his stories are always fragmented and strained. He definitely thinks he's better than he actually is.
Plummer pls
It's not about the stories for him
Films are about narrative and drama. Every movie is absolutely about the story, and Mallock, while a few of his movies have good story ideas in theory, are horribly executed in practice. He's basically a documentary filmmaker masquerading as a story teller. At least Wim Wenders can do both at a high level. Actually, that's a good comparison: Mallick is like a worse Wim Wenders.
Way to oust yourself as a pleb
Peak of cinema as an art form no transcendentalist American films yeah you have to compare to some European directors like Tarkovsky or Kieslowski to get anything similar
John Ford's Young Mr Lincoln. John Houston's The Dead. Vertigo. Inland Empire.
.
Two words: Christopher Nolan
I love many of his films but I don't think I can sit through another fricking retelling of Jesus
I finna bouta snitch 2 saint Peter bout dis post wen I get too heaven
On the contrary, I think Malick might be the one guy who could make it interesting again. Unless Lynch also wants to make a biblical epic but I don't think that's likely
I am so goddamn excited for this. Malick has always had a penchant for exploring faith themes, and maybe this can be a cool narrative as well
Shotgun Stories >>>> Badlands. That painterly poetic realism feels like he doesn't see southerners for who they really are. A Hidden Life is totally Andrei Rublev for dummies.
>Jeff Nichols>Malick
nah
Malick's South is something I can find in literature. Not Nichols' South.
>peak of yawn cinema
fixed
*is an easy 10/10*
I fricking love this movie so much
Crazy how his very first movie feels so accomplished.
>While on location in the Philippines filming The Thin Red Line, Malick was inspecting a set piece by himself when an explosive accidentally went off. The explosion reached an estimated height of 40 feet and completely destroyed a mock Japanese camp. Fearing for the worst, crew and actors alike rushed to the scene with first aid kits. Sean Penn, the first on the scene says "It was amazing, like witnessing a miracle". Penn claims Malick walked out of the flames with a glow around his body and without so much as a scratch.
>When Penn asked how this is possible, Malick looked at him and stated "I believed."
Remember when this was the only picture of him in the world
