@mov88 I liked your comment. It made me think 'Christ..THIS is his weakest film?!!' I'd not not seen any except Badlands years ago. Rented Days of Heaven and then bought the other two on bluray. Yet to watch. If either of the those two are as ace as this film then I'm in for a treat. I may buy some jelly snakes.

@mov88 Thanks for your reply. I feel slightly embarrassed by what I wrote - it was a long time ago and I never imagined it would become one of the Top Comments. I love Malick and so his weakest film is still better than the vast majority of other films out there. My opinion of The New World continues to increase with each watch and I think it is a fabulous piece of work. If I had to come up with an order: The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life, Badlands, The New World, Days of Heaven.

@TheJohnnymango Agree that this is an incredible sequence - disagree that this is Malick's weakest film. For me, it's tied with "Badlands" as his greatest. There are more moments (not just this ending) in this film that give me chills than there are in any of his other films (or any other film, period.)

@98bigbutt what does it mean?
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this. Malick's weakest movie but his best four minutes. The music, voiceover and images are incredible but something else moves it beyond the sum of its parts.
An autumn day is so perfectly captured: damp lawns, fallen leaves, birdsong, the feel under your fingers of hedgerows and tree bark. And also the simplicity of childhood, of being concerned with nothing more than being chased by your mum.
I will never, ever tire of watching this.

completely overlooked masterpiece. One of the most moving and visually beautiful films ever made.
