the most beautiful film ever [i.m.o.] so much to think about packaged into something so simple & gentle, and ends up feeling truly massive. so much inertia in every sequence of images. π§π«.
Beyond compare. The entire film is just shot after shot, scene after scene, so profoundly beautiful it's almost too much to bear. It's one of the few films that have moved me so much that I am aware of how my heart feels as I'm watching the film. There's very little dialogue, it could be a story from the Gospels. Linda Manz is incredible, so powerful and so funny - one sequence in the film features an unrelated monologue played over the action which is just a recording Terrence Malik made of Linda Manz explaining her understanding of the book of revelation. Terrence Malik is the biggest Christian ever and I think his films are so special because he's trying to convey ideas like grace and redemption and you can tell from the sensitivity with which he captures the world and people that this is the vision of someone who sees the world as Creation.
