I meant parodied, not duplicated. I could go out and make a short mocking Malick's style right now. It's so distinctive and earnest that any cynic could do it.
- shot of tree - shot of foot - shot of woman bathed lovingly in light - whispered narration: "He is watching." - shot of hand - shot of grass - shot of lens flare from sunlight - whispered narration: "As he watches..." - spinning shot around woman - whispered narration: "... we become the watched." - shot of tree
I like Malick a lot, but it is what it is. Distinctive styles are easy to parody, earnest ones even more so.
