		Malick's only setback is the commercial unviability of his films, and it is a price he seems more than willing to pay (his rumored financial stability presumably makes the burden light).
		This is Malick's first overtly religious film, with a plot that echoes the Biblical stories of Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, told through the eyes and voiceover narration of a young girl.
		Malick chooses not to dwell on the paradise lost, and quickly ties his narrative to the three voices who dominate the tale: John Smith (Colin Farrell), Pocahontas (carefully unnamed in the film, and transcendentally portrayed by Q'Orianka Kilcher), and John Rolfe (Christian Bale).

	FIPRESCI - Undercurrent - #2 - Film, Philosophy, and Terrence Malick
		Terrence Malick clearly isn't in it for the fame.
		Malick is obviously not alone in his deep commitment to film as a fine art, but comparatively few of his indie peers share his increasingly keen taste for epic formats, correspondingly high budgets, and the meticulous attention to detail that distinguishes even his smaller-scale works.
		Like that philosopher, Malick is concerned less with the psychological self (crucial to conventional fiction) than with the "philosophical self," defined by Wittgenstein as "the metaphysical subject, the limit of the world — not a part of it." Few film directors give much thought to where the limit of the world might lie.

	Paradise Lost: The Films of Terrence Malick, by John Murphy
		Terrence Malick has made just four movies in three decades, but each one is marked by a singular religious vision—man fallen from grace, disconnected from nature, divided against himself.
		Malick is certainly a rare parrot in the trendy atmosphere of commercial Hollywood: a maker of snail-paced, non-linear, non-character-driven films that are unapologetically "spiritual"—a word I'll use broadly, for the moment, to summarize Malick's interest in man's relationship to the natural world and, through the world, to God.
		Malick's a Harvard man, was a Rhodes Scholar to Oxford, translated Heidegger, and went on to become a philosophy teacher at MIT before finally applying to the American Film Institute.

	IGN: Featured Filmmaker: Terrence Malick
		Malick, typically playing his cards close to the vest and keeping a low public profile, took five years to follow up on Badlands, reemerging in 1978 with Days of Heaven, which is routinely cited as one of the most beautifully-shot films of all time.
		And, despite the fact that Malick clearly had little interest in making a conventional war movie, his combat scenes are both harrowing and exhilarating – if the guy weren’t so damn smart, he’d make one heck of an action film director.
		However, there is an absolutely exceptional (and, for the Malick enthusiast, essential) website devoted to his life and work: The Flicks of Terrence Malick.

	Terrence Malick
		Terrence Malick is an American director whose films can be characterized as radical reevaluations of the current understandings of cinematic concepts such as image (and sound), character, and narrative.
		Malick's lack of interest in the causes of the characters' behaviors should not be understood as itself a moral judgment, as if their actions are in some nebulous way justified.
		(16) Malick, likewise, is wholly uninterested in envisioning his films as epistemological (or moral, or sociological, or what have you) inquiries for the audiences and the characters, instead preferring to envision them as a presentation of the world, in all its variety, as something to be faced with reverence.

	The Bard Observer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Malick’s first movie since 1997’s The Thin Red Line, The New World is one of the most painfully boring films ever produced; it is loaded with symbolism and a completely undeserved sense of pretension that takes a film that could have been just bad and makes it flat-out ridiculous.
		Perhaps Terrence Malick, who wrote the screenplay in addition to directing the film, was trying to be very true to the real historical events, but whatever the case, the result was an extremely tedious narrative that in no way draws the audience into the story.
		Malick clearly did not want to trouble himself with writing compelling dialogue, so he simply had every important character explain whatever they were feeling through the power of the voice-over.

	Critchley on Terrence Malick
		These images are combined with the almost constant presence of natural sounds, of birdsong, of the wind in the Kunai grass, of animals moving in the undergrowth and the sound of water, both waves lapping on the beach and the flowing of the river.
		What is central to Malick, I think, is this 'neverthelessness' of nature, of the fact that human death is absorbed into the relentlessness of nature, the eternal war in nature into which the death of a soldier is indifferently ingested.
		There is a calm at the heart of Malick's art, a calmness to his cinematic eye, a calmness that is also communicated by his films, that becomes the mood of his audience.

		Malick's reputation rests on only three films, all dominated by the theme of man's relationship to his landscape.
		Malick then pulled off a remarkable disappearing act, returning twenty years later with The Thin Red Line.
		In this film as in the others, his characters are rootless, restless and strain almost poetically against inarticulacy in an attempt to achieve a state of grace.

		Malick doesn't give interviews, but this much is evident: It's odd that he's a filmmaker at all.
		Malick's friends and colleagues insist that he doesn't cultivate his own myth, that he is truly (they don't say neurotically) private.

		In Malick's perceptive hands, the true story of mass murderer Charlie Starkweather is reworked into a literate, almost elegiac tribute to midwestern restlessness, with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek giving astonishing performances as doomed young lovers on the wrong side of the law.

	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: Alumni Watch: Terrence Malick '65
		Terrence F. Malick ’65 is an enigma; one of the most influential and greatest modern filmmakers, he is also one of the most reclusive.
		Even diehard fans, who constantly revisit all three of the groundbreaking films Malick has made over the past thirty years and are eagerly awaiting the January release of his latest, “The New World,” haven't seen a new picture of the man in decades.
		The 62-year-old Malick does not agree to interviews with the press and his contract stipulates that no current photos of him can be released for publicity.

		Malick is an intensely private individual; he hasn’t done interviews with the media since the 1970s.
		Malick also insisted on creating a location that could be filmed in every direction without seeing inappropriate objects, such as a sound mixer or other equipment, in a scene.
		Bale said he found the atmosphere that Malick created for the crew to be liberating, describing the director as the “king of creating wonderful vibes on the set.” The actor said he found himself, along with many of the other actors, wanting to be around the director all the time.

		Malick’s return may have been an “event” for the press back then, but it was Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan which became the event at the box office that year.
		Malick was not making use of an existing persona as he was with Clooney or Harrelson.

	On Malick's Subjects
		Malick's foray into a genre such as the combat film seems far removed from the austere Americana of his previous two films, and yet there is a definite logic as to why Malick would make such a film as I hope my examples from the two early films will show.
		Malick's view of the women in his films is not misogynistic - after all, the men they have to deal with are quite a motley crew of dreamers and nuts - but one that views the women as engaged in a different order of struggle.
		Malick's favourite device, the voiceover, is worth examining in detail as it provides the entry-point into all three of his films.

		Terrence Malick, the cryptic recluse who withdrew from Hollywood visibility after the release of his visually enthralling masterpiece Days of Heaven (1978), returned to the director's chair after a 20-year coffee break.
		Malick's comeback vehicle is a fascinating choice: a wide-ranging adaptation of a World War II novel (filmed once before, in 1964) by James Jones.
		Let that be a warning to anyone expecting a conventional war flick; Malick proves himself quite capable of mounting an exciting action sequence, but he's just as likely to meander into pure philosophical noodling--or simply let the camera contemplate the first steps of a newly birthed tropical bird, the sinister skulk of a crocodile.

	Salon Entertainment \| "The Thin Red Line"
		What was supposed to be Terrence Malick's long-awaited comeback is instead a clichéd, self-indulgent throwback to the '70s.
		Maybe that dappled light and the Steadicam shots moving at foot level through the tall grass and the ominous swelling undertone of Hans Zimmer's score and the oblique/obvious nuggets of pseudo-Zen wisdom dropping from the mouths of the characters are his version of the novel.
		Malick has seized on the interior monologues of Jones' characters and smothered the movie in the voice-over narration he used in "Badlands" and "Days of Heaven." And it's easy to see why.

	Terrence Malick’s Brave ‘New World’
		While director Terrence Malick has hardly been prolific – four films in four decades – he has proven the old adage that it is quality, not quantity that really counts.
		But Malick’s worlds, for better or worse, are more about the scenery than the foreground, more about the tides and time of the universe than the scene-to-scene flow of a story.
		As Malick’s camera regards the trees, the fields, the souls of his characters via eyes or inner monologues, and always the ripples of the water, he creates a hypnotic motif of disconnect and love forsaken.

		Malick's direction is simply genius; utilising the tranquil scenery to great effect whilst, at the same time, creating some of the most breathtaking action-sequences to be put on 35mm.
		Malick uses the vehicle of war - in which man is pushed to his most extreme; both in good and in bad - to explore what it means to be human.
		Malick asks questions that have been asked a thousand times before in a thousand different movies, but he does it in a way that will truly make you wonder about why things are how they are.
