How did Sup Forums react when the greatest film of all time came out? Did it EXPLODE?

Not many went to see it at the time.

Malick didn't have meme status then, this was the film that did it.

We respectfully discussed the artistic and esoteric merits of this, a staggeringly brilliant work.

>no memes
>greatest film

...

It was shit

>muh nature shots
>muh space shots

Who gives a fuck?

Knight of Cups>To the Wonder>Tree of Life

>Did it EXPLODE?
I'd say so, there were Abatap threads for years

>the greatest film of all time
Bait motel lol!!

pseud film with nothing but nice visuals and soundtrack to it

I saw it in 2014 unfortunately. I fell for the "don't bother watching, it's boring artshit" meme.

Tree of Life > To the Wonder

You are entitled to your opinion but my opinion is that you are wrong

Knight of Cups=Tree of Life>To the Wonder

The greatest film of the decade so far.

These were the reactions back then too. Sup Forums was never smart enough to appreciate movies like these except for a handful individuals that also discuss real cinema every now and then in some humble thread late at night

True, but that's how most of the world reacts as well

Both "To the Wonder" and "Knight of Cups" are better films than "Tree of Life". This film suffers from so many horrible, stupid silly scenes it rustles me to no end. Let alone the silly dumb narrative at parts.

Dropped.

I'm being objective here!

Badlands - 9/10
Days of Heaven - 8/10
The Thin Red Line - 9/10
The New World - 10/10
The Tree of Life - transendence/10
To the Wonder - 9/10
Knight of Cups - 8/10

Days of Heaven is my favorite

But I agree with the transcendence

Which Terrence should I watch next?

I say Days of Heaven, Knight of Cups and Tree of Life. Loved them all, although the DoH was kinda boring because I don't like romance.

Insincere pseudo-film. Malick is an enemy of cinema.

To the Wonder=Knight of Cups>Tree of Life

no u

The Thin Red Line or Badlands.

>To the Wonder - 9/10
>Knight of Cups - 8/10
You are a fucking retard.

KoC is much better than TTW

?

?

I didn't get it tbqhwyf

There was nothing to get.
It's 30% shitty looking CGI dinosaurs and 70% atrocious sound mixing.

this

he wasn't a famous film maker and didn't make meme movies before this.

?

Okay, maybe i'm a newb, but I thought that Malick was a legend after Days of Heaven.

Dude.

The New World is so beautiful.

I watch it every now and then for the visuals and soundtrack alone.

This film literally blew my ass off

stop trying to force this horseshit

I regret not seeing it in theaters. TToL and TRTL are his best.

>TToL and TRTL are his best.
Those are the only two i've seen, actually.
And they are indeed amazing.

What about The New World?

Real Rankings

>Badlands - 10/10
>Days of Heaven - 9/10
>The Thin Red Line - 8/10
>The New World Extended - 8/10
>Tree of Life - 5/10
>To the Wonder - 3/10
>Knight of Cups - 4/10

>never smart enough
smart enough or pretentious enough?

Why people keep saying Thin Red Line is better than Tree of Life?

go back to the comic books reddit or something

Slightly less style
Much more substance

bump

after badlands, these guys are doodoo dunder heads

>More substance
It's hard to have more substance then ToL

Yes.

It's both a well made film, and a terrible film.

Perhaps it means more to those who have lost a sibling or a child, or to those with an abusive parent, but to me it fell flat. The acting was good, the camera work was good, even the pacing was good, but the plot underneath all of it was flat in that it was trying too hard to pull at my heartstrings.

If you give Malick a better writing team and then let him direct, you'd have a fine film.

pleb/10

This is only the greatest film ever made if you are:

A father

A Texan

At least 40 years old

Otherwise it is fine example of exemplary casting and lensmanship and no more

Someone has to have the picture of the cinema not accepting refunds for it

My favorite Malick is Badlands.

You're the kind of guy someone might call a cuck - but you're of a far worse stature. You're not the kind of person who enjoys watching his wife get fucked by someone else while you watch. You're a true cuckold. You're the guy whose wife fucked someone else behind your back and gave birth to his child, that you believe to be yours; ever lost in a delusion so deep you never notice your children are a different race than you.

what did he mean by this

What the fuck?

The universe is a cold and uncaring place. An act of compassion is rewarded with the complete annihilation of the compassionate dinosaurs and all other dinosaurs as well.

The birth of the universe in the first 20 minutes was fucking amazing, and to think it done completely without cgi and 100x less the cost.

whaaaatt
nooooo

>Perhaps it means more to those who have lost a sibling or a child, or to those with an abusive parent, but to me it fell flat
nope, this is one of the most universally appealing films of all time from a thematic perspective

>pretentious

2011 was the year of Drive... Not enough time to watch other films that year

I reached enlightenment
