New Ifor Williams trailer
grin!
: >
Bloody Hell.
Sean Penn.
F**kin' 'ell
once you've finished your half biscuit...
'Badlands' (1973)!
'Days Of Heaven' (1978)!
'The Thin Red Line' (1998)!
'The New World' (2005), but that was boring.
And now a new one, out next May! Someone? Anyone?! Terrence Malick?
The Thin Red Line
for me. I'll never look at a hillside the same way ever again.
I think what I enjoy most about Malick's films is the continual sense that there is as much if not more happening off screen and that as a viewer you are an integral part of that off-screen exposition as well as the receiver of the on-screen exposition. The way he edits he demands that you bring yourself to the scene, you can't be a passive viewer, you have to participate. It's difficult to explain but it's as if he's trying to edit in a way that keeps pace with the rhythm of a human heartbeat and as a viewer you have to synchronise your own heartbeat with his. He has a style but it has nothing to do with the standard conventions of film; it's like he is working to impulses and modes of expressions that are strictly innate, there is no other world other than Malick's in his films whereas with most directors you retain a sense of your own world throughout. Not so with Malick.
I would really really really
like to see the first seven (or was it six?) hour long cut. The producers, for some reason, found it too long. It was then cut down to the three hour version that was released - hence Adrian Brody´s lack of lines.
The photo is just amazing and it´s one of the most moving movie experiences I´ve had.
I'm excited!
My favourite is The Thin Red Line. I love the narrative overlay and the contrast between horror and beauty - the soundtrack is lovely too.
Very excited
Bizarrely enough, I only just watched The New World again the other day there. It was only when I was googling it afterwards I realised there was going to be this new Terence film next year.
Can't wait! I'm actually so excited I can't even bear to watch that trailer you've posted. I want to see it completely cold.
Hey, who up there said The New World was boring?? Man, I love that film. It gives me real hope to think there are still film-makers out there who understand how to point a camera at something interesting and create poetry out of an image. Sounds like a basic skill, but it's one that is getting drowned out in today's over-reliance on flashy effects. And who would have believed that you could "de-Disney-fy" the Pocahontas story and create a work of such quiet beauty and sadness?
But The Thin Red Line has to be his masterpiece (so far!). I love the sheer unique bloody-mindedness of it: he disappears for twenty years and then comes back with a second world war film that he releases at the same time as Saving Private Ryan! Not only that, but it's an oblique study of man and nature that confuses everyone, and half of the cream of young male American acting talent have their scenes cut out of it to make way for more shots of grass and trees! Fantastic film.
Roll on the new film!
Best trailer i've seen since..
i can't remember when actually, looks amazing! has to be said mind that when i went to watch The Thin Red Line it had the highest number of walkouts i've ever seen in a cinema.
Really?!
Was that in a multiplex? I saw it in the Edinburgh Filmhouse with a very appreciative audience.
Mm it was a Manchester multiplex
as it happens
Nah
It's Days of Heaven for me which is the prettiest film of all.
And it has Ennio doing the music.
one of my favourite films
but the best music in it's from Saint-Saens
Tree of Life ?
I'll be one of the many coming down heavily on the side of CRAP when asked about The tree of Life.
I haven't seen such pretension since Kubrick was alive.
In the cold hours of night I did make excuses for it such as it was so personal it should have been kept as a home movie by Malick. Foisting it on the public showed a tremendous lack of respect.
It's only the 2nd film I've ever left early - I reckon about 15 minutes to go. The other was Inception, but, please, don't start me on that croc of shite...
