Happy Shooting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Max Jacoby Posted September 9, 2004 Premium Member Share Posted September 9, 2004 Considering that Terrance Malick doesn't even give interviews, I think a Special Edition is quite unlikely. Also it is produced by Fox and Criterion does not do dvds for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maeda Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 i love this movie for a bunch of reasons. but, and i hate to detract from it at all, i think if terrance malick has a downside it's that his movies seem to overreach artistically. in other words they insinuate profundity while being a little light intellectually. again, i think he does many great things, but in the end avoiding interviews is more about necessity, and less about artistic singularity. at the risk of being redundant, let me state my caveat one more time: mallik does a great job of, among other things, avoiding tired narrative schemes. also, he tackles a pretty abstract theme in trying to demonstrate the inevitability of combat and struggle in life. still, when measured against the giants of film history it fails to succeed completely, and my only point is that this may explain his reluctance to give interviews. jk :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Wells Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 still, when measured against the giants of film history it fails to succeed completely, and my only point is that this may explain his reluctance to give interviews. When it comes to The Thin Red Line, I think he's as interesting to me as any of the giants , really. Well on one (theatrical) viewing anyway. No, on some level maybe it's not a " complete success" but I don't care. I have to say I've been reluctant to rent this on DVD, that film just seems to need the space of a real screen. * Days of Heaven, I have mixed feelings but again it really is something to look at. Badlands is exemplary. -Sam * Pocahontas in 65/70, I'm down with that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
