There is good art and bad art; good poetry and bad poetry. This was just bad. The film took to extreme the fashion for portraying poetry and sensitivity through long, supposedly meaningful silences and lack of dialogue. It was almost as if the actors were miming their roles. This conspiracy against speech in an attempt to be artistic is not clever or challenging. It is lazy, simplistic and, to my mind, dishonest. In addition, the verbal and linguistic inaccuracy was embarrassing and the scenes of England, London and the court of James I were risible.
yes. Did you see the long version of "the new world" (i think it was shy of 3 hours) or the shorter theatrical version (which was about 2 hours 15 minutes)
One thing you have to give Malick credit for: He certainly marches to a different drummer, even if it’s one that only he can hear, and he never meets an audience even halfway.
The main problem is that the film is just too inaccessible to the casual viewer... It's also marred by a pretentious voiceover and far too much tree-stroking in general.
NEVER BEFORE HAVE I WITNESSED SUCH I SELF INDULGENT LOAD OF CRAP I WOULD RATHER BE DRAGGED INTO THE STREET THEN BEATEN WITH STICKS AND HAVE STONES THROWN AT ME THEN WATCH THIS MOVIE AGAIN. IF THIS MOVIE WAS A PERSON IT WOULD BE SETH ROGEN. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS MOVIE IS USED TO TORTURE PEOPLE IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRY'S. IF THIS MOVIE WAS A ALBUM IT WOULD BE ST. ANGER WITH DEATH MAGNETIC PRODUCTION. I FUCKING HATE THIS MOVE AND SETH.OPRAH IS A FLAMING CUNT
