The cinematography a has unique hopperian atmosphere in it, I truly wonder what type of film and filters he uses..

Malick is truly one of the most interesting directing figures out there.

from the synopsis: “as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father”

this is the most common and overused concept in film, right up there with female directors making a film “about their vagina”.

I don’t say that as necessarily a knock against the film as those two concepts are very central to most peoples lives…

sorry, just the truth…hope it lives up to the hype

Looks beautiful, and I’m sure the visual will be amazing. Let’s hope the story will be strong. Veeery risky to try to make deep and meaningful shit.

I’m gonna go ahead and say that Malick is one of the top 5 most distinctive filmmakers of all time. You can always tell it’s one of his films within 10 seconds of seeing any footage. His are the only films that make me swoon… no homo.

Wait, is this the Malick film that was supposed to have dinosaurs in it? Or is that the next one?

The trailer reminds me of Tarkovsky’s The Mirror. Cinephiles will be blown away and mystified. The general audience probably bored to death.

Looks slick. We get to see Brad Pitt doing his crazy faces and Sean Penn doing his sad faces. If this would be a “guess-the-plot” quiz I’d say: Brad plays a kind of tough and mean father to a boy who grows up to be Sean. There will be lots of redemption and in the end they all meet in heaven. I hope I’m wrong.
