after ten years I re-watched it
I can't think of any war films better than this
it's fucking perfect
>>71226278
apocalypse now
come and see
paths of glory
are all better than this self-indulgent display of unimaginativeness
>>71226456
not a single western war flick fucking grazes Come and See as a "war film", as in a film on the topic of war.
I wouldn't call Apocalypse Now strictly a war film, and that's the same for Thin Red Line's philosophical wank. Paths of Glory, as the anon mentioned, is a genuine war film because it actually deals with war, not just use it as a backdrop.
Stalingrad (1993) is also pretty good.

Did you miss the point of the movie?
>>71226950
It's magnificent. So much so that it triggers summer/weekend babbys.
>portrays american soldiers
fuck off dirty imperialist pig, you kill the noble warrior japanese race and then you kill vietnamese. fuck you pig!!!
the japanese will rise again and kill the american scum
>for one of the shots in The Thin Red Line, [Adrien Brody] was held underwater by an enemy soldier for over three minutes in an elaborate torture scene [5]. To portray the brutality it was shot as one long-take, and Brody claimed to 'come up gasping for air desperately' afterwards, feeling 'close to death' [6]. Terrence Malick was however displeased with the actor's performance and ordered three more takes [7]. This scene was not used in the final cut.
over rated movie
over rated director
you cunts only like him because hes not that popular, as he shouldn't be because his only decent movie was badlands

I'm the kind of guy who loves movies that most people call "pretentious," so I'm loathe to slap that criticism on most anything, but holy shit this movie is the dictionary definition of self-indulgent pretentiousness. Nick Nolte's performance is literally the only good thing in it. I couldn't even finish the last 20 minutes it was so pointless, boring, and hamfisted with its "we're all the same, end the war" preaching. I totally agree with Malick's points, but damn dude learn2subtlety.
>>71226401
These are all amazing war films, Apocalypse Now being my personal pick of the bunch.
>>71227334
Can't find the article right now, but he's been known for this kind of stuff for ages now. He has a very open directing style, often operating without a script and freely cutting at the editing table to turn it into something completely different than the actors were expecting.

no they arent, you just like them because they arent popular and you like things that are unpopular because youre a hipster but just wont admit it to yourself, but thats everyone on here so theres no point in arguing it

>>71227281
Does any other director understand the concept of sacrificing for their artform as well as (Terrence) Malick??
>>71227579
I'm sorry that you're so cynical anon. But I do genuinely enjoy Malick's work. He has the most honest genuine style out of all directors I know, preferring feeling and emotion to a scene over straight meaning or obfuscated symbolism.
Plus they're usually beautifully shot, and deal with heartfelt topics, often involving the human experience, stuff we can all relate to. Like childhood / the loss of innocence in The Tree of Life.
And he just approaches it in such a honest, and optimistic way that I can't help but be engrossed in the films. He never tries to tell you what to feel, like most directors do with movies, he just gives you a scene and then basically asks you 'and how do you feel about this?'. I love it.
There, I took some time to react to you more seriously, do you believe me now?
I understand he's not for everyone (especially the philosophical musings through whispering voiceovers), but it's easier to just shitpost and call you a pleb for not liking the same things I do.
>>71227579
>I enjoy this
>No you don't you're just pretending to enjoy it, I know because I don't enjoy it which means nobody can
You remember that kid who would have his mother take him to the park half an hour early just so he could get in the sandbox first, then when other kids came to play in the sandbox he would say they could do so only if they played by the arbitrary rules he had invented? That's you
>>71226950
>>71226847
apocalypse now is a war film by any possible standard
you might be autistic
>>71227869
Just because the setting is war doesn't mean it's a war film / film about war you dumbass.
>Malick resorted to guerrilla style tactics where the actors were not told who they would be interacting with, requiring them to improvise entire scenes. Bale said that Malick referred to this as "torpedoing" and that as a result he mistook Teresa Palmer for a real stripper.[23][24] These methods came to a head when the cast and crew entered a Hollywood party without permission.[24] When the production was politely asked to leave, Malick looked the hosts and their security guards straight in the eye and whispered, "Your words are thoughtless, my thoughts are wordless" as a single gust of wind suddenly blew his hat up into the sky.[25][26][27]

So you've only seen a few war movies, is what you're saying.
>>71227281
>In 2004, during the filming of The New World (2005), Malick forced Christopher Plummer to climb a tall oak tree. The task was very difficult for Plummer, who was 74 at the time, and took 3 unsuccessful attempts before Malick was satisfied with his performance. This footage was not used in the final film.

STRENGTH IN SUFFERING.

>>71227334
Some anon on 4chan. There are many others like this.
>In early 2000, during an interview with Le Monde[18] regarding his new production facility[19], Poilâne asserted that he had unwittingly employed Malick between the years of 1980 through 1986 as an apprentice baker. Malick was using the pseudonym Antoine de Tournesol, and Poilâne recalled one of his interview responses 'de Tournesol' gave for wanting to work with him; "Our minds are like dough, our hearts like flame." De Tournesol was a model employee, according to Poilâne, and the reason given for leaving was "hearing again the drums of war." Poilâne proceeded to laugh the experience off, and was apparently "fond of Antoine's war movie," though didn't care for the pacing.[20]
>I will never observe Malick as he *makes* a film.
>I will never be part of Malick's film
>I will never get to talk with him.
i should just end it now
What did he mean by this?
>>71228724
pepe is cute.
go fuck yourself

His films tend to have quite a lot of the messages thrown in the music, and the sound production is thought out and very good. Listening to Knight of Cups through 5.1 Genelec system at near full volume was way different than my usual headphone setup.
Think it also appears in Tree of Life, that notification.

>>71228829
Also I'd say it's even more important for ToL and KoC. They play out like memories and at least for me sounds are huge triggers for memories.
>I can't think of any war films better than this
Kino coming through,
