I just watched The New World (2005/Malick) again, by the way, and was completely floored... again. It really is one of the greatest films ever made. It's disappointing and shocking that Malick has made only four films, but each one of them is a masterpiece, and an extension upon the previous: Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and this. I love its intertwining fragments of retrospect; its elliptical narrative development (binding images together as if unfolding in some distant past tense, only with a present voice-over; illustrated memoirs).

I fucking love it. People need to start watching masterpieces on this forum.
