33. "People just love to hate on Malick"
In response to In response to 32


  

          

and call him pretentious when I feel he's one of the least pretentious filmmakers around to me, he's very earnest. Maybe people feel like films should be actor-centric and get upset by the way he treats actors scenes the same way as he treats a shot of a sunset or that shot through a canopy of trees he likes so much.

"To the Wonder" is very good, even if I rank it on the bottom end of Malick films.

           in that case, Bardem's self-evangelism seems even more shoehorned in
