Days of Heaven was a dribbling pretentious wide-angled winsome bit of bad Gere movie. I was sorry to see Sam Shepherd lost in the horizon there... The Thin Red Line was fine as a war film but overly long and spottily acted by several professional actors who lacked direction, I felt.... And the last film I haven't seen or I have seen it but I snoozed from first to last and snoozed again on re-running it. Malick is vanishing up his own cul-de-sac.

I'm still baffled by that.Hesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752457333383090137.post-27281645323023234742013-04-14T17:16:57.580-07:002013-04-14T17:16:57.580-07:00"The New World" was the best film of the..."The New World" was the best film of the last decade (and Malick's best film by a very significant margin,) so I call bs on this alleged "devolution." <br /><br />Besides, Simon loses the plot when he tries to apply his, uh, "rigorous" standards of logic to art. (And, for the record, I say that as someone who is far from a Malick devotee - I only really like two of his movies, his first and his fourth.)
