They\’re also phenomenal at using semantics to whine and bitch while never truly making a point. Bravo.

Hypocrisy born of denial? Hubris? Nolan and Fincher are only equal to Malick in indulgent visual displays further indicating their fear of and lack of curiosity for authentic human beings. Malick\’s laudable investigation of us ended most thoroughly with Days Of Heaven sputtering only infrequently to life in the wholly parochial Thin Red Line. With Tree Of Life he establishes himself as the Christian Spielberg. Naked emperors all. What pretense. I\’m drawing a cleansing bath of L\’Eclisse immediately.

I think it would be amazing if they did a commentary of some sort, or at least if we got to see some more of these clips.

And Brendan, Nolan\’s movies are obviously very different, but he also has several places in his films where he makes direct stylistic references to Malick. See Memento, where Leonard\’s memories of his wife were styled on the memories of the wife from The Thin Red Line (actually the weakest part in the latter film, IMO) or the use of voice-over in The Prestige, or the dreamlike opening of Inception. I\’m sure he knows his own films and influences better than we do, no need to jump to insults over half a sentence the guy said.

Sitting in UK waiting for release, but keen to look at this.
