Malick endures.... Amazing that he has two films(this and the wonderful "Badlands") in the national film registry considering that his overall body of work is relatively small.... I'm really looking forward to the late spring release of his new film.
Fantastic opening credits to a fantastic movie. Always been one of my top 10 films. I need to dig this out of my DVD collection and watch it again sometime.
@cutiecoyote1206 It is one of the movements of Camille Saint-Saëns's "The Carnival of the Animals" suite, from 1886. This particular movement is called "Aquarium" - the seventh out of fourteen in the suite. I don't think it was featured in any other movies, although it was in some trailers, and it seems to be the inspiration for Beauty and the Beast's main theme.
Nestor Almendros. Comes to mind.

Such a poetic beginning. It conveys a sense of mystery that I couldn't describe or explain...and yet it's so beautiful!

@LaurenMega999 mysterious because these are photos of real people that lived during the time and have since probably passed on...

The first time I saw this scene, I immediately thought of "Beauty and the Beast" when the music came on.

@levanyzzuf I'd argue but it certainly has the best cinematography of the era.
