>directs aimless scenery porn with no real plot

Sure?

73? Really?

Watched New World for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I don't see it talked about as much as Post-ToL films or his early stuff so I was quite surprised given how engaging it was

I hope he finishes hot tub boy soon

DELETE THIS

>73 years old.
>Makes films that feel like they're made by man in his 20s full of energy/life.

I have a couple of malickposts
Let's start with a classic

>In early 2000, during an interview with Le Monde[18] regarding his new production facility[19], Poilâne asserted that he had unwittingly employed Malick between the years of 1980 through 1986 as an apprentice baker. Malick was using the pseudonym Antoine de Tournesol, and Poilâne recalled one of his interview responses 'de Tournesol' gave for wanting to work with him; "Our minds are like dough, our hearts like flame." De Tournesol was a model employee, according to Poilâne, and the reason given for leaving was "hearing again the drums of war." Poilâne proceeded to laugh the experience off, and was apparently "fond of Antoine's war movie," though didn't care for the pacing.[20]

>In 2004, during the filming of The New World, Malick forced Christopher Plummer to climb a tall oak tree. The task was very difficult for Plummer, who was 74 at the time, and took 3 unsuccessful attempts before Malick was satisfied with his performance [12]. This footage was not used in the final film.

amazing spurdo :D :D

>Malick resorted to guerrilla style tactics where the actors were not told who they would be interacting with, requiring them to improvise entire scenes. Bale said that Malick referred to this as "torpedoing" and that as a result he mistook Teresa Palmer for a real stripper.[23][24] These methods came to a head when the cast and crew entered a Hollywood party without permission.[24] When the production was politely asked to leave, Malick looked the hosts and their security guards straight in the eye and whispered, "Your words are thoughtless, my thoughts are wordless" as a single gust of wind suddenly blew his hat up into the sky.[25][26][27]

>Literally perfect tier
The Tree of Life
Days of Heaven
The Thin Red Line

>Masterpiece tier
The New World
Knight of Cups

>Great tier
Badlands

>Good tier
To the Wonder


How do you guys feel about his works?

All of them are god tier except Badlands

The Tree of Life>Badlands>The Thin Red Line>Days of Heaven>The New World

Is to the wonder and knight of cups worth watching?

Malick will always be my guy

I don't even believe in God so, to me, Terrence Malick is literally better than God.

Yeah
I like TTW the least of his films, but it definitely still has beauty in it, especially in the opening. Just didn't manage to really keep my interest as fully as his other stuff, more than ever it felt like he wasn't really going anywhere, I just wasn't feeling it.

Knight of Cups on the other hand was great, it's the same kinda style TTW has going on but was just much more interesting to me. It's Malick on his a-game with all his references and stuff as well

DUDE 3RD PERSON DIALOGUE LMAO

Thread theme.
youtube.com/watch?v=-tEgzGnzojc

Knight of Cups is a superlative work. I cannot get enough of that film.

TTW is still good but *much* more one-note and repetitive than anything he's done thus far. By the end you're kind of exhausted, which isn't a problem with ToL or KoC.

>not LACRIMOSA

>not God Yu Tekem Laef Blong Mi

>3RD PERSON DIALOGUE
You mean voiceover?

EY MALICK

>not Kilar's Exodus

>for one of the shots in The Thin Red Line, [Adrien Brody] was held underwater by an enemy soldier for over three minutes in an elaborate torture scene [5]. To portray the brutality it was shot as one long-take, and Brody claimed to 'come up gasping for air desperately' afterwards, feeling 'close to death' [6]. Terrence Malick was however displeased with the actor's performance and ordered three more takes [7]. This scene was not used in the final cut.

Are you guys excited for Radegund?

>Malick spent 5 years editing the film one reel at a time with the sound off while listening to a Kanye West CD.

Happy bday Terry!!!

>they were big guys
For whom?

Does anyone else miss the pre-Bane days of Sup Forums when Malick was big on here? It seems like after The Tree of Life hype died down this board stopped caring about him.

Yes I miss those days

>Does anyone else miss the pre-Bane days of Sup Forums
About 1% of the current board that still is here from those days.

Wut m8?

love this guy

he'll be fine

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALICK

HAVE A BLESSED DAY ALL

Terrence Malick huh? I didn't know that was the guy from Wolf Creek's real name.

Should've won the Oscar in 2012

I think Knight of Cups is perfect, but I would agree otherwise

>masterpiece tier
Days of heaven
Badlands
Tree of life
The thin red line

>ok tier
The new world

>shit tier
To the wonder

I've seen all his movies except knight of cups, thought it looked good but never got around to seeing it. Was it really as good as you guys say?

Happy Birthday, user!

Happy Birthday bro

Happy Birthday

Is Malick white?

>Malick, although typically elusive, was more than happy to sit down with us for a chat about his Assyrian heritage.
>"We're an outgoing and hardy people who've shaped the world throughout the millenniums. For instance, one of my ancestors was a ruthless tyrant who besieged Jerusalem and forced its Hebrew king to empty out the treasury and pay him tribute. Another sacked that same godless city and carried off the entire population to Babylonia to work his vineyards. And my great granduncle? Killed the King of Egypt in battle and captured Memphis in a single day. We are the Übermensch. Do not fuck with us"
>Terence Malick then took out a gold orthodox cross and kissed it
>"We are not a vengeful people. But I am."

his skin is white but his soul is black

daily reminder that Malick is a hack fraund that only plebs like

Hack Fraund sounds like a Nazi villain.

Switch Badlands with Tree of Life then you have my opinion

thank you, if youre still here somewhere

>In 2004, during the filming of The New World, Malick forced Christopher Plummer to climb a tall oak tree. The task was very difficult for Plummer, who was 74 at the time, and took 3 unsuccessful attempts before Malick was satisfied with his performance [12]. This footage was not used in the final film.

>"Malick was someone who was listening to a high whine in his head," recalls Cohen. "He was very tense and fragile, the least likely person to be a director. I once had to have a meeting with him in Westwood. He was getting up every five minutes and hiding behind pillars; he kept thinking he saw somebody he knew. He would call me, and I'd hear trucks rolling by on the highway, and I'd say, 'Where are you?' and he'd answer, 'I'm walking to Oklahoma!' 'What do you mean, you're walking to Oklahoma? From Texas?' 'Yeah, I'm looking at birds.'"

>According to Affleck, on his fourth day of filming, he was handed notes for the day's scenes by Malick himself, which consisted of only two phrases; "Dance," and "Be love." In addition, Malick had doodled a small unicorn in the margin.[14]

>In an interview conducted for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film in 2007, Richard Gere speaks of a shot in the film during the wheat fire where a "monstrous" antiquated tractor is driven through the flames. According to Gere, director Terrence Malick was the driver.

>While on location in the Philippines filming The Thin Red Line, Malick was inspecting a set piece by himself when an explosive accidentally went off. The explosion reached an estimated height of 40 feet and completely destroyed a mock Japanese camp. Fearing for the worst, crew and actors alike rushed to the scene with first aid kits. Sean Penn, the first on the scene says "It was amazing, like witnessing a miracle". Penn Claims Malick walked out of the flames with out so much as a scratch. When Penn asked how this is possible, Malick simply replied "I believed."

>It was at this point that editor Billy Weber came on board, and they spent 13 months in post-production and the last four months mixing the film, using four Avid machines with a fifth added at one point.[15] Malick edited the footage one reel at a time with the sound off while listening to a Green Day CD.[16]

>During the filming of Days of Heaven, the crew took a break midday for lunch. The cast and crew, including Malick, sat down to eat at a set of pre-fabricated folding lunch-tables that are common on film-sets [4]. They leisurely discussed the filming process and exchanged personal stories throughout the luncheon. However, when some crew-members had finished and gotten up to return their lunch-trays, to their astonishment and horror they realized that despite Malick having been sitting with them at the table and engaging in mundane discussion, Malick had no chair beneath him. He had instead been levitating in a sitting position 3 inches above the ground for the entire meal [5]. Malick calmly finished his lunch and got up from his levitating position to return his lunch tray, and then nonchalantly asked everyone to return to work, giving no acknowledgement to his astounding feat.

>Terry takes me for a ride through a small town and talks to me about who I am: Marina. A woman ruled by a combination of candor and insolence. He says that only Russians can gracefully combine both at once. Have you read Karamazov, Karenina,The Idiot? Terry wants to know. Yes, I did my homework. A Russian soul?I was born with one. A Russian soul with a French spirit. That’s what he was looking for.

>The next day our director of photography, Chivo (Emmanuel Lubezki), and I are in an expansive field and he’s following me, filming me no matter what I do: I whirl, look around, smile, and laugh. I raise my arms up and the sun is shining through my spread fingers, and I always, always, and always look for the Wonder.

>Terry smiles and I jump, twirl, run, and jump again. He claps, “More, more, more, like a rabbit!”

>In early 2000, during an interview with Le Monde[18] regarding his new production facility[19], Poilâne asserted that he had unwittingly employed Malick between the years of 1980 through 1986 as an apprentice baker. Malick was using the pseudonym Antoine de Tournesol, and Poilâne recalled one of his interview responses 'de Tournesol' gave for wanting to work with him; "Our minds are like dough, our hearts like flame." De Tournesol was a model employee, according to Poilâne, and the reason given for leaving was "hearing again the drums of war." Poilâne proceeded to laugh the experience off, and was apparently "fond of Antoine's war movie," though didn't care for the pacing.[20]

>The reclusive filmmaker's experimental techniques were in full force while filming his latest project, now titled Knight of Cups. Actor Christian Bale weighed in on the unusual methods of filming that the critically acclaimed director employed.

>"Start of the day, I'd sometimes be given just two pages of dialogue. I call it dialogue now, but it had barely any lines for me. It was just filled with all these philosophical excerpts - Heidegger, Kierkegaard - all that good stuff. And then there'd be notes in Terry's handwriting - "Feel the Joy", Joy with a capital J, and "Cosmic rapture in the moment!". And then when I'd be in the middle of a 10 minute take, improvising all of my lines, I'd look up and see Terry shooting the squirrels. And they'd scurry all over his feet, into his hands, up his legs, all over him. Once a couple of sparrows landed on his hat and I said to him, "Terry, there are birds on your head!" and he replied, "I know, isn't it just a wonderful day?""

>For an emotional scene in Terrence Malick's latest film To the Wonder, lead actor Ben Affleck could not express properly what the director wanted. Faced with the prospect of the actor personally failing to live up to the auteur's expectations as well as ruining the timing of the day's cinematographically delicate magic hour, Malick discoursed Affleck about life and death and revealed his Cosmic Form as a theophany. Between takes 10 and 11, Malick revealed himself as the Supreme Being and finally displayed his Vegetative Avatar to Affleck. Affleck experienced the vision of the True Grass with divine vision endowed to him by Malick. Malick's appearance was described by Affleck, as he witnessed it.[1][2]

>"He has innumerable forms, eyes, faces, mouths and arms. All creatures of the universe are part of him. He is the infinite universe, without a beginning or an end. He contains peaceful as well as wrathful forms."

>Unable to bear the scale of the sight and gripped with fear, Affleck requested Malick to return to his human form, which he could bear to see.[1][2][3] Fully encouraged by the teachings and vision of Malick in his full form, Affleck completed the scene exactly as Malick wanted.[2][4]

>Terrence Malick was born in Ottawa, Illinois[1][2][3] or Waco, Texas,

My favorite one

>tfw Malick will never direct a biblical epic

Next step of his master plan.
