When aliens invade earth and unforeseeably exterminate our entire race in the passing of a millisecond with their incomprehensible bio-weaponry, the only human being that they're going to spare is Terrence Malick.
The fourth movie in my Terrence Malick screening series, and maybe my sentimental favorite Malick film. We watched the Extended Cut, which is absolutely my preferred version. This gentle, deeply felt epic impresses me more each time I revisit it. What appears to be a deceptively simple story hides fathoms of complexities, all anchored on a perfect performance by then 14-year-old actress Q'orianka Kilcher. This is a movie about discovery, love, fate, the inevitable tidal wave of history, and - ultimately - an aching regret. There are few lines as perfectly written and acted as "I may have sailed past them". My little screening group is becoming more polarized with each Malick film we screen, which is no surprise. While some absolutely adored this one, a few of my friends struggled (joke's on them - next week is TREE OF LIFE.)THE NEW WORLD remains one of my favorite films, and my belief that it is a true masterpiece only deepens with time and rewatches.
It is so cool that Terrence Malick is real
