The New World

Having had a flu-like bug the last week, I wasn't in the least worried by the slowmpace of this film... afterwards I was looking for a name and I came up with "a pre-industrial" pacing for the film, but if you are in a rush, then give this a miss... and morw fool you!
This is probably the most beautifully photographed film you will ever see... really... and for those of us old enough ita like finding a new world with a tab of mescaline.
As opposed to some reviews, I don't think the "naturals" are shown as living an innocent perfect life... they even discuss what will happen when when more people come and the possibility of getting rid of them all immediately.
But it is a meditation on.. well several things... western Colonialism is just one.
I don't want to mentio particular scenes but that makes it hard to talk about, but see this film when you are not in a rush... I saw it sunday afternoon and that seems perfect.. maybe have a drink or intoxicant of xhoice first and sit back and let this HUGE filom wash over you.
Malick is THE REAL THING when it comes to film and this is only his 4th film in nearly 35 years.
DO NOT MISS IT.
