Malick's first two films were and are so loved that the queue of actors for TTRL must have gone round the block.
Malick, of course, hated the closed in way that he was offered endless variations on these stories and, as far as I know, left for Paris where he occasionally emerged to rewrite scripts as long as his name never appeared. I was told this by writer Robert Shelton who interestingly wrote the famous first New York review of a young Bob Dylan that lead to him getting a recording contract.
If he has a fault it's that he has an almost mescaline view of the natural world (and its people) and that can take over as it may do in The New World, although I enjoyed that film a lot as I do, say, House Of Flying Daggers, by letting it wash over me.
In The New World, his subject is that "natural" world and the meeting of that with his obsession seems to detract from the effect.
Maybe it's his blind spot.
I find that these films stand repeated viewing and am about ready to give TNW another go...
