 Badlands (1973)
Badlands (1973) is the remarkable and impressive directorial debut from twenty-nine year old director Terrence Malick (who also scripted and produced the film).
As a title, Badlands is both a geographic area and a descriptive indictment of the senseless behaviors (and empty interiors) of the two juveniles.
The intelligent, understated, alienating and disturbing film, set in the waning years of the highly-romanticized 50's decade, is narrated in a flat, heartless, unsensational monotone voice by the film's emotionally-immature, passive, childlike and naive 15 year-old character named Holly.

One Badlands song, "Hotchkiss Gunner's Lament," features the wordless vocal harmonizing of Connie Smith, Stuart's wife, whom he first saw perform at the Choctaw Indian Reservation in his Mississippi hometown of Philadelphia.

Inspired by the 1958 murders in the cold, stark badlands of South Dakota by Charles Starkweather and Caril Ann Fugate, the film's plot, on the surface, is similar to that of other killing-couple films, like Bonnie and Clyde and Gun Crazy.
Badlands, on one level, views America's suffocating homogeneity and, conversely, its continued obsession with celebrities (individuals considered different but adored) as hypocritical.
