Turned out to be Malick's worst, huh?
>>64625955
No. It was just as shit as The New World or whatever that last one with Bale and Farrell was called.
>>64625955
The more I think about it the more I hate it, but it's not as bad as his last 3.
>>64625989
But the director's cut of the New World is his best film.
K N I G H T O F C U C K S
thats all i have to offer, i was gonna kill myself but but i decided to wait to see this movie so it better be good
>>64626027
Excellent cuck meme, can't wait to see on the front page of /r/4chan.
>>64625955
It's miles ahead of To the Wonder
Still much worse than his other movies.
>>64626027
It's shit. Maybe it's better if you take something before you watch it.
>>64625955
It's semi autobiographical like To The Wonder
I didn't like or get either movies till i researched his life.
Rank his films when you give your opinion of Knight of Cups so I know whether or not to take you seriously.
>>64626050
ah well, at least i can see it for free since i work at a movie theater
Was Malick trying to say something by shooting a movie like they shoot life insurance commercials?
>>64626128
Everyone knows his older shit was best and he has gotten progressively worse since his faggot mariachi brother an heroed.
>>64626158
The meme is it is an Allegra commercial.

>>64626478
Only true cucks are that obsessed with cuckoldry. Admit it, you love the idea of your Aryan future wife being violated by a strong black man, giving her something you'll never be able to give. You love it because you think it's depraved. The only way for you to intensify the pleasure of being cucked is to develop a deep prejudice against blacks, so your jizz flies across your mom's cobwebbed basement when you jerk your pathetic 18-year old white cock to the thought of a blond virgin girl being brutally spit roasted by a pair of 10 inch negro dicks.
I'm willing to bet my inheritance that most of you white kids who use the word 'cuck' as an insult have a registered blacked.com account.

I turned it off because it was people whispering trite, meaningless aphorisms while curtains blew in a breeze.

>it was people whispering trite, meaningless aphorisms while curtains blew in a breeze.
this describes most of Malick's work

So do you didn't even watch the whole thing? Why are you criticizing his style rather than what you got out of it?

Sounds like there's something wrong with you rather than the movie.
>>64627203

Philosophical depth. To the Wonder has none of the genius of his previous works.
>camera follows person around

every fucking time, Malick
>>64627306
>Philosophical depth.
To the Wonder is about physical and divine love. The folly of physical romance and the displaced passions that can destroy it and the higher divine love and forgiveness that bring purpose and fulfillment even in the darkest times.
>>64627365
>>children running around happily
You've only seen The Tree of Life then?

Also, >When literally every other shot is off peaceful black people and nature being destroyed or disrupted by whitey and his guns.
>Back to tumblr pleb
Thanks for proving my point, lmao!
Malick has never made a bad film. Knight of Cups continues his trend of shedding extraneous plot and narrative to focus on emotions, thoughts and memories brought forward in his trademark fragmented visual and aural style. It, like his other films, is about age old universal themes, in this case the quest for enlightenment and the paradox of beauty. The sermon in the movie says that our now imperfect soul gets a taste of the higher existence it once knew whenever it is confronted with beauty, and so Rick immerses himself in all the beautiful sensual pleasures in the modern Babylon of LA. He is quite literally submerged all the time in ephemeral worldly pleasures, yet he still finds his life empty and devoid of any higher purpose and like his soul longing for a transcendental gratification, he is always by the end again quite literally looking upwards to the heavens for a higher meaning. The movie is an impressionistic retelling of his search for God, the Wonder, nirvana, call it whatever - any metaphysical peak that will give his hollow life meaning. But at the end he realizes that the journey itself is the source for his existential quest, the nourishment for the shadow of perfection his anguished soul seeks.
Knight of Cups is not just any "story" movie, but a sweeping visual symphony of the search for spirituality in an increasingly materialist world.
>>64627467
>one of a handful of the most respected directors now living
>"generally poorly received"
are you stupid or just pretending to be?
Worse than the Tree of Life? I doubt it. But one thing that I don't understand is how this guy keeps getting money to make these shitty movies? Is he self funded?
>>64627816
He is independently wealthy from his family's oil money. He makes his own movies for the love of them.He's also a cult leader of the Church of Grass.
>>64626322
Needs more close ups of faces and people acting like angsty faggots.

>One story from these early days was offered by Martin Sheen, who detailed a fight Malick had with his producer. "Terry beat the hell out of him," Sheen says. "In true Texas style - he was so Texas. Didn't even hesitate, just started swinging. Terry just whupped him. If more directors would beat up their producers, we'd have a lot more artistic freedom."

>life purpose
Of course not, that's retarded.
>>64628650
Since crafting a potently polarising masterpiece with 2011's The Tree Of Life, Malick has become a man on a mission. A mission to stuff a movie so full of coded self-indulgence it seems like a perverse joke that has misplaced its own punchline.
The result is ludicrous self-parody - somewhere between a Calvin Klein aftershave advertisement and a coffee-table book about the modernist mansions of the rich and famous.
>>64628253
>>64629176
This is my favorite review.
>>64628619
Enjoying Malick's films requires a level of introspection and emotional imagination that few people, especially a generation raised on Disney Channel, MTV, et al, and brain-deadening technology, are capable of.

>muh spirituality

>>64629271
I'm just fundamentally at odds with his Christian philosophy of agape.
Consider TOL, where it is presented that sure horrible things happen to people you love, but still believe and love God because hey, you don't know the whole picture.
This requires a presupposition that God exists, God created the universe, and God is concerned with human affairs, as exemplified by the quoted passage from Job.

The New World is routinely ranked as one of the best films of the century, and so is Tree of Life. So half of the movies he has made this century are regarded as among the greatest the century has produced.

jesus christ how retarded are you mate?
you actually use RT as a metric for evaluating movies?
so in your mind, this means that The Force Awakens is a better movie than Tree of Life?
it has to be, because it has a higher RT score right?
here, this list is pretty damned pleb but it's a general list that polls a lot of people and that your small mind might be familiar with:
http://www.theyshootpictures.com/21stcentury_allfilms_table.php
>>64629176
Why should I believe this guy?
I liked it, but like TTW and probably the Roon/Gosling movie it feels like he's just spitballing about his life before he tackles another big project because he might not have the chance after it.
I feel like stylistically they'll seem very cohesive, like one big film.

I specifically cited the list with the disclaimer that it's a pretty damned pleb list specifically so that it might be palatable for you retards
>>64629890
other lists with The New World:
http://reverseshot.org/symposiums/4/the-best-of-the-decade (one of the best reviewing publications around)
https://mubi.com/lists/tiff-cinematheques-best-of-the-decade (list from one of the biggest and most prestigious film festivals in the world)
>>64629890
" An esteemed panel of over sixty film curators, historians, archivists and programmers from festivals, cinematheques and similar organizations around the world participated and were asked to pick the films they thought were the most important of the past decade. The poll’s participants are connected by their leadership in the field of historical film curation, with most having published books, essays and polemics on cinema, bringing perspectives that distinguish this poll from other end-of-the-decade polls."
I know this might be a bit highbrow for dipshits used to percentage scores from the friendly RT but it might be time to grow up
>>64629415
The Tree of Life doesn't explicitly mention God or whether any divine presence exists or not. That's the beauty of it. You could just as easily argue take an Absurdist interpretation where the human experience is so insignificant compared to the vastness and immutability of the universe that it is silly to ascribe any particular karmic meaning to momentary suffering in our sad little blip of an existence. What meaning we can find is through each other, not pointing towards any grand design, but in our own small universe of each other.

>>64630083
sorry mate, if I go for aggregate proofs of consensus I'm going to be pulling lists from RT that suggest Force Awakens, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Avengers are the best movies of the 21st century
the most important voices when it comes to assessing art are going to be those from people with some actual qualifications. how do you think movies like Tokyo Story and Persona come to prominence? Do you think when they were released audiences were going in droves and proclaiming them masterpieces? No, that's not what happened. Acclaim built for them in art communities and over the years they were introduced into the canon. The New World is revered by basically anyone that is of any prominent seriousness when it comes to film.
Don't be daft.

I've provided you with multiple lists now mate
what kind of aggregate do you need? what would work for you? what do you use to look at to see where a film is placed in history? genuinely curious
>>64630220
Sorry, but film critics know more about critically analyzing film than film curators.
Moreover, that's what the phrase "routinely ranked" indicates. Ranked by critics. Not ranked by random peripherals.
>>64630258
>all movies about God are inherently about how God exists rather than profoundly intimate looks at characters who are struggling with their faith
are you seriously retarded?
>>64630261
You provided a list representing the opinions of essentially film roadies.
Then you provided two lists of "best of the decade".
For an argument regarding best of the century.
Just like a Malick fan.

K.
>>64630155
>>64630156
Yeah, and where does it explicitly show God? Even that colorful light thing is implied to be some higher abstract power while it could just as easily be a representation of the Big Bang
Next you'll be saying characters saying "Oh my God!" is proof that God exists in a movie
>>64630258
>numerous scenes of humans trying to find cosmic meaning through established manmade institutions and cultural works is proof that the film shows the existence of God

again, what do you use for an aggregate you thick fuck?
this is just lame backpedaling from someone who refuses to acknowledge that Malick's movies are massively, massively respected by serious film critics and then basically everyone else in the industry
I'm guessing you probably can't even name any critics that you read with any regularity or have any respect for
you sound like a pretty big casual mate

2 Corinthians 6:14
>>64630474
It quotes a book written by humans quoting God. Thus, it quotes God. In the same way quoting the Washington Post's reported comments of Hilary Clinton is quoting Hilary Clinton.
Too bad if you don't believe in the Bible. Malick does. And he quoted God...explicitly.

>Stagecoach was the best film of the 20th century
>>64630611
If people at the time had made a list, sure it would've been.
>>64630531
again, I have now provided multiple sources from a variety of different people in the film business that all testify to The New World being considered as one of the best films of the 21st century. it's okay little buddy, a lot of people think so. it's okay if you don't understand the movie. might I direct you to The Big Short, or perhaps The Revenant might be more to your liking? Go have a fun day at the movies little pal!
>>64630582
>And he quoted God...explicitly.
Too bad he didn't show God explicitly.
>>64630653
That's the point you fucking idiot. You are those people. Have some foresight. Not only can you not prove that The New World is routinely lauded as the best film of the century, you can't even make a reasonable argument toward that. It was a good movie, yes. But by saying "hurr durr it was the best" you are ruling out the possibility of Malick ever besting himself.
>>64630691
No one said he did, idiot.
>>64630672
K.
>>64630732
>Not only can you not prove that The New World is routinely lauded as the best film of the century
It's routinely lauded as one of the best films of the century and by century it is assumed by most people with brains to be until now and they also know that the list can change but for now it is one of the best films made so far in the 21s century and just remember that the list can change but for now it's routinely acknowledged as one of the films made in the last 16 years since this century started but it can also not be considered that by the year 2099 but for now it is until more critically acclaimed films are made in the next 84 years but we haven't reached that time yet so let's just make a list of some of the best films made so far this century and The New World is one that list because the year 2100 hasn't arrived yet since it's still 2016 John Oliver meme so the film is one of the most lauded films of this century, the 21st century that isn't over yet because it isn't.
Happy?
>>64630884
>It's routinely lauded as one of the best films of the century and by century it is assumed by most people with brains to be until now
...that's fine. I'm saying a "best of the decade" doesn't fit the bill for that.
Find any list at all that says The New World is the best film of the century so far. That's the first step to proving the "routine" part of your claim.
>>64630973
I didn't even make the claim, dummy.
You're arguing semantics now.
>>64630884
Are you fucking retarded? First you say best of the century, then your provide two lists of best of the decade. When were those published? 2010? So it's been five years since then.
