He actually lets you get to know the characters without force feeding information that constantly reminds you that you're in a plot. Then the dreamlike quality hits reality, which makes it all the more jarring and tragic.
Wow. I saw this movie a long long time ago and knew nothing about it or its director at that time. Very disturbing. i liked it and thought of it as memorable. Tonight I have just watched Badlands. And while I was doing some research on Terrence Malik I came across this movie. And remembered everything. I think masterpieces really stick to the memory and stand out
If you're thinking of seeing this movie please don't be put off by the less than flattering trailer which doesn't do any justice to this interesting film.
wow, i agree, tramp, a terrible trailer, but the wonderful movie has now been re-mastered as a Criterion release on blu-ray, and finally looks and sounds like it always should have. And actually, i originally thought that the cinematography on this movie was by Haskell Wexler, not Nestor Almendros----- both true masters. Great film, very underrated, glad other people like it too, and even Richard Gere is good here, but Sam Sheppard does fit the movie a bit more, as tigerlilly points out.
I could be mistaken, but I think my mom was an extra in this film. She was a nurse in the background or something....she even spoke with Richard Gere for a few moments. This is the only Richard Gere film I could find that was filmed in and around Lethbridge, Alberta (the prairie in this movie looks just like it does here, and that train bridge at 0:27 is a major landmark here in Lethbridge).
@otacon451 bahaha, funny that you bring that up! it is my favorite part of the movie! my mom and I randomly say that and people look at us like "what did they just say?"
Hey...I remember seeing this when I was younger, but not liking it...I feel bad now since by all standards it's a great movie. I'm gonna rewatch it and give it the rightful appreciation it deserves! :D
Haven't seen this movie yet but after watching this this trailer i am very anxious to see it. I loved The Thin Red Line and I want to see more of Malick's films
I have the extreme joy of announcing you this film will be released on blu-ray by Criterion (criterion always release reference grade audio and video quality discs for the sake of movie aficionados) its suppose to be release in a month or two
Saw a revival of this movie in a gorgeously restored 70mm,6 track Dolby Stereo(as it was released to theatres along with the standard 35mm prints,of course)print not too long ago.
I think it's out on DVD. If so,a widescreen TV & a kickass sound system are all you need to enjoy this beautiful movie.
@thetramp123 I don't see what you mean. The trailer correctly presents the film, not making it look as though it were a genre movie, but being fairly honest about the material at hand. Also the good usage of the main theme practically makes it a good trailer by itself!
@IantheLiberal It has none of the emotion or poetic feeling. It has a pretty poor narration that leaves me feeling thoroughly uninterested. It makes it appear to be a common period romantic drama piece.
@thetramp123 Works for me. Has a high volume of scenic shots for a trailer, giving the viewer the honest perception that it's deeper than just a dramatic effort
A beautiful film in every way. One that didn't get lost in the summer of "Grease" and "Animal House". This film stood out in a lot of ways. Seeing Richard Gere playing a character that was out of character for him at the time. Wonderful photography by the late Nestor Almendros. And perhaps the finest score Ennio Morricone ever made. Terrence Malick is supposedly working on a filmed adaptation of "The Catcher In The Rye". Good luck!
