		Badlands review movie review of the film including Badlands DVD soundtrack & poster.
		Made in 1973, Badlands is the first film of Terrence Malick, director of The Thin Red Line.

	Terrence Malick
		Malick's first film Badlands (1973) is ostensibly a semi-factual account of a mass-murderer and his girlfriend, set in the 1950s.
		It appears as if Malick was torn between presenting a convincing drama (which Badlands and Days of Heaven are), and a philosophical inquiry unencumbered by the various demands upon it (as a war film, as a drama, as a popular film).
		Ultimately, however, the film's primary weakness is that its verbosity (and overly self-conscious poetic effects) seems a less convincing sign of the director's commitments to the characters (not as characters, but as human beings) than the piercingly simple dialogues and voiceover narrations used in the previous two films.

	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.
		This unique, coming-of-age crime film with its intense and prosaic character study of the two leads, without clearly condemning or praising their horrific and pathological actions, is carefully and realistically photographed at a leisurely pace by Tak Fujimoto.

	badlands (movie)
		Badlands is a 1973 film directed by Terrence Malick from his own script.
		The Orff piece was used to good effect in the film True Romance, which has some thematic similarities to Badlands.
		The film is included in the National Film Registry.

		The odd part about the film is they never show Muhammad throughout the film because those directing and overseeing the movie felt it would offend the greatness of the Prophet.
		The film does focus alot on his homosexual relationship with his childhood friend who is with him throughout the movie.
		Anthony Quinn stars in this movie, but doesn't't do much in this film.

	ToxicUniverse.com - Terrence Malick - - Badlands Movies Review
		For a film about fugitives on the run, Badlands moves along at a pace that can only be described as leisurely, hinting at just how life was back in those days.
		At any rate, Badlands is a solidly constructed film that’s aged rather well over the last 25 years.
		Badlands isn’t a docudrama, of course—instead of having Starkweather and Fugate as the leads, Malick wisely creates two characters of his own for his tale.

	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.

	Amazon.com: Video: Badlands (1973)
		Of course, "Badlands" is one of those films that you can never say anything like this about, for all of its defenders will immediately counter that this is part of the very "chillingness" of the film.
		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.
		And there is an odd moment as they are racing in the dead of night across the badlands towards a mountain they had earlier seen in the blue fade of aerial perspective.

	Amazon.com: DVD: Badlands (1973)
		Still one of American cinema's most powerful, daring filmmaking debuts, Terrence Malick's Badlands is a quirky, visionary psychological and social enigma masquerading as a simple lovers-on-the-lam flick.
		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.
		Malick and Fujimoto subtly and artfully create a film, that puts the viewer right there in those "Badlands" of Montana, and that 30 years later will still have you fascinated.

	Death Comes as an End: Badlands
		Badlands (1973) is undoubtedly one of the great first films of the cinema, and it is also one of the most influential works of the early 1970s, a golden period of American filmmaking.
		Badlands is, in the end, a paean to identity, lost motivations, of what it means to be in the world and the difficulty of making a mark.
		Badlands has a matter-of-fact beauty that is complimented by and contrasted to the beautiful but colourless pallor of Spacek's voice.

	Badlands review
		Badlands retraces the bloody odyssey of a lost young couple in the heart of America's Midwest.
		The cinematography is colorful, a sort of Fauvist landscape losing itself in the infinity of the desert lands, the Badlands of the Midwest.
		Instead of using war as he did in his last film, this time it's boredom and life without a future that are the catalysts pushing man to confront his destiny.

	FILM REVIEW -- Masterly `Badlands' a Crime Classic
		Martin Sheen as garbage man Kit and Sissy Spacek as teenager Holly got their big breaks in ``Badlands,'' which is at the Castro Theatre through Thursday in a newly struck print.
		Malick laid out ``Badlands'' as a convincing study of people headed for hell and looking, talking and acting pretty much like any of us.
		Reclusive writer-director Terrence Malick set a story of senseless violence in an atmosphere of the utterly prosaic -- though gorgeously filmed -- and every mundane word spoken by his young runaway killers takes on shades of meaning.

	Vera Dika
		Proclaiming the renewed importance of the image and of genre, she investigates works as diverse as Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills, Amos Poe's The Foreigner, Terence Malick's Badlands, and Francis Ford Coppola's One from the Heart.
		In a Stalker film the killer's presence is indicated primarily by the musical score and a series of distinctive shots.
		In her essay The Stalker Film, 1978-81, Vera Dika "examines the role of point-of-view and the 'masculine' controlling vision" (4) within the Stalk and Slash genre.

		Described by the press as "a work of art", the film, which focusses on the fragility of Earth's wildlife and the need to protect our wilderness, was filmed in the magical "Hoodoos" of the Alberta badlands.
		This film is a tribute to the wildebeest as they set out on their yearlong odyssey; it is also a documentary featuring a fascinating array of animals including zebras, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, baboons and even hyenas, jackals and vultures, with an abundance of animal trivia.
		This film has close up scenes of both small and large animals that a casual visitor might miss, including leaf-cutting ants inside their nest, colourful butterflies, hummingbirds, orchids, and monkeys high in the forest canopy to give viewers a better appreciation of the importance of tropical rain forests on a global scale.

		However, independent film distribution and exhibition is never a foregone conclusion, and can take a great deal of time and effort to achieve.
		Ken Promersberger of Fargo was the executive producer of "Wooly Boys," which was shot largely in the North Dakota Badlands near Medora, with some scenes in Minneapolis.
		Sadly, Van Sant's strongest risks prove to be the film's major liabilities, and the weakest aspect of "Elephant" is the offhand way in which the two killers are portrayed.

	Delta Sierra Arts » Film
		I’m used to the menace of open spaces in Malick films - Badlands, The Thin Red Line - and it was odd to see this take on land as a source of abundance.
		Indeed, the film is peppered with various characters’ quest for something more - passion, religion - from their life or, conversely, the quelling of that quest into cynicism (Zooey Deschanel as Justine’s hilariously deadpan colleague Cheryl) or simly drug-induced retreat (Phil, plus his buddy Bubba, played by Tim Blake Nelson).
		There are times when the film overplays the “suburban life is destructive to the soul” theme, but this is made believable in the hands of Aniston, who conveys quite clearly the lack of choices of Justine’s world.

		If the lineup for the 38th New York Film Festival is any indication, love is not the only international language.
		The same filmmaker who gave us the charming White Balloon serves up a strikingly shot portrait of several Iranian women, all involved in brushes with the law (and he took home the Golden Lion award for the film last week in Venice).

		Shot in the Southern Alberta badlands, the film combines stunning visuals with the comic misadventures of four young Canucks whose car breaks down while on a road trip to the u.s., mecca of watery malt beverages.
		Films like Drawing Flies small-budget, riskier flicks, without any big-name backers, and from unknown directors are the focus of Dippong's Canadian Images lineup, which is showcasing a total of 62 new features and shorts at the 15th annual viff, running Oct. 4-20.

	Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Badlands (1973)
		Fantasy the strongest of drugs and 'Badlands' is a film rooted in it.
		After going on the run with Kit,reality breaks through and Holly decides not to have anymore to do with'wild living types.' Kit ends the film with his head in thew clouds,a situation that could be said to sum up his general condition.
		The poetic camerawork and Malicks great eye for colour makes my all time favourite film visually absorbing.

	The Thin Red Line
		It is a unique and powerful film, as might be expected from the director of Badlands and Days of Heaven (his first in two decades).
		The film concentrates on mood and tone, crafting a world which alternates between light and darkness, fire and water, earth and air, and in which the rituals and dramas of battle are seen as an unholy disruption to the natural order which shatters man's relationship with the environment (and, by somewhat pantheistic inference, with God).
		The term 'poetry' is too liberally applied to films which are visually powerful or stylish, cheapening the value of a film like The Thin Red Line, which is truly poetic.

		A film like that grows and shifts in time, and it must have taken on deeper meanings as it grew, being infected by the world around it.
		"It is normal not to make films." Think about it a while (and duration has always been a key, hesitant element in Rivette) and you may begin to feel his humour, his stoicism, his patient sense of life and its alternatives.
		This is one reason why, over the years, Renoir's films alter for us: there is so much to see that ten years later we may come up with a different line.

	CNN - Jim Caviezel walking 'Thin Red Line' to fame - December 23, 1998
		Malick earned his reputation with just two films in the '70s -- "Badlands," with then-unknowns Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek, and "Days of Heaven" with the not-yet-famous Richard Gere.
		The second WWII drama this year (Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" was the first), it's based on the autobiographical novel by James Jones, who also wrote "From Here To Eternity." But the movie is as much the creation of its renowned director as it is Jones'.
		LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- There's a thin line between imagination and reality, between good and evil, between peace and war in Terrence Malick's new World War II drama.

	City Pages - Days of Hell
		Malick had seduced Hollywood with two great films (Badlands and Days of Heaven) in the '70s, then dropped out of sight.
		In fact, that's Malick's point, to submerge the viewer in a film whose structure and pacing suggest the sporadic rhythms and emotional states of war: tension, boredom, adrenaline, catharsis, loneliness, camaraderie, insanity.
		The film opens with him and another private cavorting in paradise among a peace-loving tribe.
