Badlands

This is Malick's best film, and one of the best films ever made.

One of my former professors taught this film when he was able to teach film studies. The man has great taste in cinema.

so before its time...relevant in todays world. Some people will do anything for an image...nothing much has changed. " Hey you remind me of that James Dean" ..sums up the film. To give this a 4 and say it is mediocre is crazy...its about the fastest paced Malick your gonna see :). Sissy Spacek absolutely beautiful. The criterion is fantastic.

very beautiful film about 2 sociopaths and their innocent if not naive young love

Terrance Malick made one of the most sweetest movies about serial killers I've ever seen. The fact this is his direct debut and how skillful directed is impressive. Best film debuts of all time.

While a slow drift with it's pacing, but what keeps us so invested is two great performers from Sheen and Spacek, and the breaking taking cinematography. Like a feeling of peace. Not the type of characters you usually follow in a movie about love and freedom; love is strange.

The 1970s version of Natural Born Killers. Back when films were about nuance and didnt have to shove every gory detail in your face

I’ve only seen a few from Martin sheen, young years and he’s a good actor and plays his role great and i kinda felt sorry for his character, think that’s a first for a criminal.

well I enjoyed it and it was similar to Bonnie and Clyde In some ways..

A couple sow corpses on their getaway. Precedent for even better films.

Slightly better than Days Of Heaven plot wise, but this is definitely style over substance. While the clouds in the backdrop were beautiful and Spacek's narration are enchanting and comforting, I couldnt help to feel there was a missed opportunity to have a more meaningful message on a lost generation or the american dream in general.

I enjoyed this more than days of heaven, but still, it felt kinda hollow with lack of any real character development. I like Terrences style, but his stories hold no gravitas. He sure did get some pretty clouds in the background at certain points.
