    The translation of badlands into "Poor Mountains and Bad Waters" makes people sound like they have an association with evil. The film lives up to its expectations. The two protagonists go on an extremely romantic and confusing escape in the vast state of Montana. They kill people everywhere, but killing and justice are not the themes of this film. It strips away the sense of guilt, that is, when you see a person killing innocent people indiscriminately, there is no resistance to sin in your...

    The soundtrack has the curiosity of a baby exploring the world for the first time. I like to build a tree house in the forest, and I found this part of being rounded up, like the Moonrise Kingdom. The police car chase is also nice. Kecun is indifferent and boring, and people have no concept of good and evil, but after leaving this village and having traveled such a long way, people are still the same. If I think the flowers are beautiful, I will say don't pick them, but the dog that has been...

    #Film Archive# 1. The photography of the film shows a lot of desolate scenery and vast space. The film is a classic love story of a man and a woman who fall in love madly but are doomed to fail. Although Kit and Hawley ultimately failed to resolve anything, their romance was still impressive. 2. For Terrence Malick, secrecy and self-preservation are far more important than the fate of the movie. The idyllic or the love of nature, the cosmic poetry, Malick captures so well, he is a well-deserved...

    This is poetry and the distance in the true sense, the desperate journey of a pair of immortals. The shooting is so beautiful and romantic, and the photography is so good that the scenery along the way and Holly's fairy-tale narration make this dark story seem unpleasant. So sinister, Kit's evil is completely different from that of the outlaw in "No Country for Old Men". He just wants to escape with the woman he loves, and he has no greed, and he can't even bear to blame such a blood-stained...

    Music's control of rhythm is poetic and romantic. Imagery: stones, rivers corrode the roots of trees falling into the water, the behavior of characters acts on imagery, clever and...

    Terrence Malick's version of "Bonnie and Clyde," more poetic, more philosophical, more distinctly New Wave imprint. Although Terrence Malick had not yet carried his Steadicam at that time, and although he did not make a film for 20 years after "Days of Heaven", his style and aesthetic pursuit in image expression were obviously in the same line. , those beautiful deep-focus and long-range shots are like signatures, and "Bad Mountains and Bad Waters" and "Days of Heaven" can basically be regarded...

    Not a fan. Watching the sloppy editing, slideshow-style switching of background music, song selection, and cutting off the strange acting skills of the male and female protagonists are unacceptable even if they are brought into the era. It is probably a "fantasy film". The annoying voice of the heroine is also used as a monologue voice-over. I have been watching more than 30 people who can't act as a 15-year-old light-hearted, indiscriminate murderer. Premature brain hypoplasia can explain all...

    Kit went from murderous passion to addiction, part Robert Riggs, part Peter Jackson. Whatever the point of teasing, the film is really...

    Picturesque scenery, poetic mirror language

    Terrence Malick’s new work has stoked the appetite of all walks of life, from the President of Cannes to ordinary fans, from the niche fans of Terrence to the fans of Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. . However, after the planned premiere of the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010 was aborted, its name was not...

Badlands quotes

  • Holly Sargis: He needed me now more than ever, but something had come between us. I'd stopped even paying attention to him. Instead I sat in the car and read a map and spelled out entire sentences with my tongue on the roof of mouth where nobody could read them.

  • Holly Sargis: [Last lines of the film]

    [Voiceover]

    Holly Sargis: Kit and I were taken back to South Dakota. They kept him in solitary, so he didn't have a chance to get acquainted with the other inmates, though he was sure they'd like him, especially the murderers. Myself, I got off with probation and a lot of nasty looks. Later I married the son of the lawyer who defended me. Kit went to sleep in the courtroom while his confession was being read, and he was sentenced to die in the electric chair. On a warm spring night, six months later, after donating his body to science, he did.

    Kit Carruthers: Sir... Where'd you get that hat?

    Trooper: State.

    Kit Carruthers: Boy, I'd like to buy me one of those.

    Trooper: [the trooper smiles] You're quite an individual, Kit.

    Kit Carruthers: Think they'll take that into consideration?
