Malick has this near flawless capacity to humanize some of the biggest names in acting to a point where they become indistinguishable from the extras in the background. And personally, that speaks so much more to his style than any other director I've seen dare to push such an envelope.

Maybe these visual obsessions emerge because this is what emerges when beauty is looked for by anyone. One thing I’m always astounded by in Malick’s films is the perspective his camera angles give to the viewer. At times we the viewer are looking up and out on the world and the living things in it as a small child. Shorter in stature and perceiving the world from almost ground level perceiving the world in wonder. Grand. Intimidating. Beautiful. Harsh. Comforting.

Film is a medium which allows us to find a connection especially when they are made for relativity between the auteur and the viewer. I can watch this and see literally all my life especially TMI but someone who is in a position that Rick is and worked from age 10 to 25. Now all there is a mirage of events.

Terrence Malick is an interesting director.

Malick is pure in his presentation of life. Sometimes beauty is a just genuine presence in a moment. No chatter. No exposition to drive a linear narrative. Just existing, suffering, finding joy, and ultimately putting together our own spiritual meaning with nature’s clues. His movies are so ambiguous regarding human relations and suffering, because the best part is discovering that your focused perspective on the characters are petty compared to the wonder of the canvas of an absolute, a god, a truth, or a universe. An expansive backdrop ready for us if we feel it as the characters subtly do. It’s an awakening. It’s refreshing. He never manipulates you how to feel about the characters or the story. They just live as we do figuring things out. Boring yet familiar.

In too many current movies, the images on the screen are secondary to the written narrative and the actors playing their part.

because film will always be the same thing every time you see it story can feel constrictive to the experience of watching it its refreshing to have films existing as long form experience the audience can get lost in with the characters rather than having a story the characters tell to the audience
@elfsieben14503 жыл бұрын
Well said. Here is why, I think, Malick's work feels less constrictive: Malick does not so much base his films on a syntactical script form, analytically broken down into units from which to reassemble frames; he rather takes characters as a starting point and then places them in an environment and traces point of views around them which (both: environment & POV) mirror their internal journey harmonically. Being used to the syntactical approach and constantly looking for clues on that level, an audience in this mode of perception, can easily miss the more harmonic clues given by Malick and thus evaluate/misinterpret his films as lacking form or direction. Coming from a syntactically narrowed perspective they might appear random. But Malick does not use the medium film without intention or a sense of cinematic form to create his fiction. On the contrary, he uses what is very specific to cinema as an art form as opposed to stage acting or still photography or chapterised script or storyboard arrangement: movement AND imagery AND sound continuity AND time dilution - not so much serialized as a chronological array of units than all at once as a synchronized synaesthetic blend. Yes, his is a more naturalistic approach than most would take, but nevertheless it is also artistic; the craft is in the way light and pacing is used, not as spotlights or hard cuts, but to create visual moods within a flow of time, a very "liquid" style. He also does use camera angles and variations of distance a lot, to create perspective; yet again not as dominating single frames, but as a movement like in a symphony, long-form. Lots of recent movies, even though using real-life sets instead of setpieces, nevertheless use these like they would use a studio or stage: Confined frames for the action. Malick uses locations as a whole in a way; he could zoom in or out of what we actually do get on the screen and we would still see the same things more or less; with many other directors we would either lose important parts of the body language or props or backdrops immediately if they zoomed in just a little, or we would notice the lighting equipment, tape or whatever used to seal off the location, auxiliary cameras, gaffers and so on when zooming out just a little; Malick on the other hand seems to give more breathing space, blurred borders, extension of imagery beyond the frame, a sweeping panoramic air to his films. There's a lightfooted almost sleepwalking/dancing approach to how he uses perspectives and light, not a preset, cutout one. Thus in his movies all the effects appear to be immediate and intuitive rather than processed and filtered through rational thought. This does not mean it's not premeditated, though. Malick might put just as much if not more planning and thought into his arrangement than other directors. But Malick seems to be more interested in using what is already in a scene or a location to his advantage by the way he captures and portrays it than arranging a composition of things he adds or moves in a frame before filming. Malick puts the main focus of his works on other techniques than most: Whereas other contemporary directors tend to put the tools of their trade inside (and some around) the picture, Malick tends to put the techniques around (and some beyond) the picture. His POV seems to be behind the camera, somewhat removed and from afar oriented into the frame, using light for overall mood and angles for psychological effects (audience perceptive mode manipulation; triggering immediate emotional response; impressionistic direction); most other directors' POV rather seems to be inside the camera, oriented along lines of sight onto the frame, using light to specifically contrast and highlight and angles for perceptive effects (audience concrete focus manipulation; triggering abstract associative thought; expressionistic direction). For comparison, Malick in this respect is going even beyond the Tarkovski side of the spectrum, very ethereal, whereas the mainstream fashion has gone even beyond Kubrick in turning to single frame by frame arrangements. The average amount of cuts per minute has drastically increased in recent years, replacing harmonic flow with contrastive rhythm. The fashion is to go for compartmental train of thought, but Malick goes with emulsionised stream of consciousness.

You’re at the beginning but it goes further than ‘existentialism’. Remember, malick was on track to being a ‘playboy philosopher’. The first to translate Heidegger’s being in time into English, before giving it all up to pursue film. He’s a prodigy and a polyglot. So the philosopher and the filmmaker are inseparable. So to truly understand malick or begin to understand what he infers through his cinematic avatars (Bale, sheen, Ferrell, caviezel etc.) as they wander awestruck at the world around them you have to consume his diet of philosophy to begin to truly understand. It’s not enough to say he’s concerned with themes of existentialism and spirituality (I used to think it was) but if you read the ancients and truly appreciate the message of say the republic let alone Heidegger or Wittgenstein, you will understand the inherent absurdity in walking around in a world constructed from ideas. Tables, chairs, cars, pavement even organic matter. We are participating in a manifestation of pure thought and it is stupefying and also hilarious. So you see ‘finding ones place’ or some kind of ‘meaning in existence’ is far too complex a question and is not, as presumed, the true aim of these films. Existence, and we’ll refrain from defining what that is in and of itself for that is far too complicated and coded a word or a conversation. Existence in and of itself is absurd and packed enough to marvel at without questioning it or the id’s place in it all. Simply put- keep going. But beware, there be sea monsters ahead

Hi everybody but firstly Thomas Flight. For me this kind of "channelling" of Mallick's incredible work is another masterpiece in itself and never got occurred to any similar one at this or similar fields. Thank you so much. About Terence Mallick and his trilogy, till now I was wondering (however its a great piece of art) why in the hell he spent his time for making an interchangeable resemblance of a kind in 3 different movie with almost exactly the same approach. I do understand now the reason why, and also that they are not almost exactly the same versions of similar stories. It is not so simple and the issue of being interchangeable (as Flight pointed) is the key to comprehend this trilogy with Mallick's free footage and no script work of making movies about searching, meaning and understanding (which is shorty the life and being, of your own's too) where one doesn't need to be so rich as in the movies by materialistic meaning/measuring to watch and to think about these movies). One last point from me: He is using the music background (soundtrack) as his biggest aide (or help you may say) and apparently classical music pieces have more credit in his heart. "

It could also be due to his style that relies heavily on the expressions of his characters rather than just line delivery. All these A-list actors are incredibly talented and can do much more than convincingly recite their lines. These actors all have the ability to express themselves through their characters. Rather than just being Natalie Portman or Christian Bale, they become they characters that they play. But who knows, I could be reading into this too much.

P1tri0t No I completely agree with you! I saw Michael Fassbender in a movie called Shame and there were so many scenes where facial expressions said so much. In many scenes almost no words were necessary and so much was conveyed just by expressions.

Wow, I am just learning now that Malick did three similar movies with the same visual. I like this new kind of focus.

Malick's films are breathtaking... but who do we credit? Makick? Or his cinematographer, Emmanuel Lubezki? Either way, amazing, but I still wanna know.

Discovered Arthur Rimbaud 2 weeks ago, Malick must be a fan

I have only watched The Tree of Life (twice) and A Hidden Life, and I love them both! I hope I could watch Malick’s other films. They feel transcendent and beautiful.
