Film Critics Transfer-Badlands-"Abandoned Immature"

Fortunately, Malik has gradually found his own way. Otherwise, if he keeps shooting in the way of this debut, not only the audience will be crazy, but he will also do so. The whole film is filled with an atmosphere of extreme irresponsibility and chaos. To say that this is an interpretation of rebellious and anti-social thoughts, it is better to say that he is hesitant and unclear at the beginning of his career. I once said that "Days in Heaven" has nothing but the pictures, but now it seems that it at least contains a kind of gradual thinking and looming reflection and regret, but this debut work is too trustworthy and out of control, just let it go. Showing, disregarding thinking, is boring and offensive. It's like Dickens's Skinbo, blindly claiming that he is a child, not knowing or disdain to understand all the worlds, but it is actually just a sophisticated escape, a kind of hypocritical sounding. This kind of person is not worthy of owning the Garden of Eden. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, his sins will not be washed away. Therefore, in the middle of the film where the two people sleep in the open field, we do not see a trace of simplicity and beauty, only irony and shame. Fortunately, Malik abandoned this immature thought forever, and began to criticize this extreme self in subsequent works. We might even pay attention to the film and "The Tree of Life". The two works have exactly the same stage, and even have heroines with similar appearances, but they tell different stories and explain the truth of the opposite. After this comparison, we can probably see that Malik has a completely different mentality.

The directorial debut of Mr. Malick has the important significance of linking the past and the future. On the one hand, the themes of "Gun Crazy" and "Bonnie and Clyde" are shot in a prose poem, and at the same time, the theme melody is also very good. In the future, the music composition of "True Romance" written by Quentin had an important influence, and last year's "They Are Not Saints" did not forget to learn from it. What was more surprising was seeing the rare cameo performance of Malick.

The dream has ended, for true love died. The night a blossom fell and touched two lips that lied.

Kit Carruthers: That guy must pay through the nose to keep this place up. Lawn, gas and electric. Bagworms. Plus the upkeep on the cars. You get a little money in your pocket and you think all your problems are solved. Well, let me tell you. They're not.

Holly Sargis: [voiceover] We lived in utter loneliness, neither here nor there. Kit said that "solitude" was a better word, 'cause it meant more exactly what I wanted to say. Whatever the expression, I told him we couldn't go on livin' this way.
