I understand your points, but I still disagree and maintain my argument. TRL hits you over the head repeatedly with it's transparent symbolism. I was insulted, frankly. Malick is such a pretentious filmmaker, it makes me sick. He's made three films too many.

I never said TRL was just about nature v. machines. Like you said, in the first scene, you have war v. peace, man v. nature, peace v. death, beauty v. horror, etc. but nature v. machines is also a part of this. Regarding the intelligence of Wit, you're on very shakey ground here. It's obvious that this character dropped out of school at a very early age to work on the farm. Listen to his speech (not his accent), and notice the way he behaves in the presence of his superiors. This is not an intelligent character. If Malick wanted him to be, he did a poor job.

I appreciate your thoughts, but this film is very hollow.
