I am surprised you think that Tin.
Do you not like any of Malick's films?
Not even Badlands, which seems a bit mmm pacier (!!) than the others?
If we put to one side the above (not you) stated arguement that box office takings reflect Malick's lack of talent, then do you find Malick's films... slow? Well they certainly take their time. To me that is one of their great joys, and, I think, The New World suits this even better than the others. Its what I think I called pre-industrial pacing somewhere way down below.
Before factories and well watches I suppose, time moved at a less mechanical pace, and I think this film reflects that.
I didn't think the naturals were shown as being innocent or naive.
They killed the rest of the up-river party, they nearly killed Smith, they considered driving the colonists out to stop them bringing more people and demanding more of everything.
That well might have been their major mistake.. well I guess history shows it was!! But within the film I thought them believable.
If Malick is such a destroyer (the Ono comparison) although of what I am not sure (Hollywood???) then how would you describe those responsible for such stupidifests as Mission Impossible?
