as my wife and son and I exited the theater there was dead silence and they began to talk to me about the historical aspects of the film. I needed to enjoy the silence and told them we would discuss it later as I needed to absorb all that I had seen. Malick is a true artist...I am glad to see that he is producing the new Redford/Newman project (Aloft) and slated to direct (Tree Of Life) again soon.

  That was from a respected Tv review show here in Australia (David and Margaret).
  I felt almost as if I were tripping when I came out.
  Everything seemed very sharp and clear and the city seemed quiet.
- I didn't think there was anything that didn't make sense but I'm looking forward to the longer cut. Although... - sjb 12:15:49 05/07/06 (4)
  I think it's very much a big screen movie. The mood and feel it creates and tries to draw you into is, at least for me, more effective on the big screen.

        I think this film certainly benefits from the large screen.
        I managed my usual trick of only sitting 1/3 of the way back from the front an thus being close enough to have to turn my head from one side to the other of the screen.
        Someone, somewhere, is probably already trying to watch it on an iPod...
