Terrence Malik's Days of Heaven

Posted by townsend on May 20, 2007 at 15:05:08:
Synopsis: An early-1900s Chicago steel mill worker (Richard Gere) flees town after accidentally killing a man. He is accompanied by his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and younger sister (the latter provides some narration), and his search for a better life/new start takes them to . . .

Don't want to give away too much plot!

Ever since The Thin Red Line (YMMV), I've been a Terrence Malik fan. I've seen four of his movies. The New World was a disappointment to me (relations between Europeans and native Americans is far better portrayed in Black Robe). Badlands (w/ Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen) is quirkly and interesting.

I think Days of Heaven is one of his best. It's cinematography earned an Oscar, and I can clearly see why (pun intended). It portrays how difficult life was for many at that time who essentially were migrant workers with no home. Of course, Gere is too good looking to be a steel mill worker, but let's not hold that against him. I think his performance is fine. Highly recommended.
