| Dmanb24eva ::: Favorites 2008-01-17 19:52:28 i agree, there is nothing more beautiful than this film. it was the first of it's kind(i guess) that i've ever seen, gere was perfect for this spot, and I always put it down because i'm not that much of a gere man, but wow. Beautiful, intelligent, Malick is a true genious and in my opinion one of the best directors I've ever watched/seen/known. __________________________________________________ | |
| ridgewoodart ::: Favorites 2007-12-13 00:17:40 This movie is by far one of the most visually beautiful films I have ever seen. The shots of the sunrises, sunsets, the textures, lighting, ahhh! so wonderful! I see something new every time I watch this film. Splendid! __________________________________________________ | |
| theprophet20 ::: Favorites 2007-12-12 05:21:19 Unfortunately this sometimes happens - one's expectations are set too high and an inevitable disappointment can set in. However I have to say that if I were asked to nominate the best movie I had ever seen in my life, it would be this - see epictetus89's comments below in a similar vein. __________________________________________________ | |
| margishench ::: Favorites 2007-11-29 11:16:04 thankyou for this review....i have been going daft trying to find out the name of this piece of music. and as to buying it, the hunt continues.... __________________________________________________ | |
| rrpower ::: Favorites 2007-11-18 11:49:42 I hated this on my first viewing, but I feel a second viewing is in place. I think I just set my expectations FAR too high, and was expecting a different movie altogether. __________________________________________________ | |
| phoodphite ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 22:48:28 In case anyone is interested, the name of the piece playing here is "Harvest". Very difficult to get the original songs from this anymore. The entire soundtrack is great. How does someone write over 400 film scores in a lifetime?? (And most of them working with a live musicians!) __________________________________________________ | |
| phoodphite ::: Favorites 2007-10-13 22:41:44 What a combo of genius - Malick and Morricone. When I first saw ths film, I didn't know anything about either of them. I went to the theater five more times to see this film. That has not happened before or since (I only saw Rocky Horror once). __________________________________________________ | |
| theprophet20 ::: Favorites 2007-10-12 06:32:00 Like you, I was deeply touched by this movie. I first saw it on television and subsequently saw it in a movie theatre, but how I wish it had been the other way around. I found it stunning and haunting and without question in my opinion the most beautiful movie ever made... __________________________________________________ | |
| epictetus89 ::: Favorites 2007-10-06 04:50:19 The saddest and the most beautiful (and mysterious and poetic and philosophical and despairing and religious and inexhaustible-let's just say the best) movie there is. __________________________________________________ | |
| barbarianeradicator ::: Favorites 2007-08-25 09:33:15 ... beautiful sequence of images set against the backdrop of Morricone's (if it was all his.. as I know some of it wasn't) music... I don't like to seem greedy, but does anyone out there have the opening scenes of this film where a number of sepia stills were set against Saint-Saens' "The Aquarium"...? __________________________________________________ | |
| al1432 ::: Favorites 2007-05-16 00:36:28 You're right..."Aquarium" from Carnival des Animaux, I just listened to it to check. It also has the Tschaikovsky theme, though. Interesting. __________________________________________________ | |
| al1432 ::: Favorites 2007-05-16 00:08:28 Sorry, I got that quote wrong. In his History of Mathematics Carl Boyer quotes Newton writing to Hooke: "If I have seen farther than Descartes, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants." __________________________________________________ | |
| al1432 ::: Favorites 2007-05-16 00:02:52 Everyone leans on everyone else. Mozart leaned on Haydn and Beethoven leaned on Mozart. Einstein leaned on Maxwell. Newton said "If I have seen farther than other men, it is because I have stood on Descarte's shoulders". __________________________________________________ | |
| al1432 ::: Favorites 2007-05-16 00:00:00 tschaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" (see below) __________________________________________________ | |
| al1432 ::: Favorites 2007-05-15 23:45:37 Great theme. Moody and mysterious. Love it. You can hear where it derives from in Tschaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet", last few minutes of the piece (last 2 or 3 min). __________________________________________________ | |
