      dream love

      With a poem like a dream, it tells a love dilemma. There's very little frontal dialogue throughout the film, and it's not loud, like background sounds or whispers.

      There are chasing and playing in the empty seaside or grassland, and there are no opposites and no words in the same picture. The tenderness of love, the fragmentation of love, the care of love, and the hurt of love are all in the picture. People who have loved, face fragmentation, and after the experience, they will...

      A portrait of love that may be too abstract

      When watching Malik’s films, you don’t need to go too far into the details of the story. You just need to let your mind go, and simply immerse yourself in the super-beautiful photography editing. You can think of a lot of things in the process of watching, about life and the beauty of details. It was midnight after reading it that day, and the next morning I went to class in the morning light. The quiet sunlight covered the roads and lawns, and I instantly felt that I had not been grateful for...

      Where is the road to wonderland?

      I haven't seen the previous masterpiece directed by Malik, so when I saw this film, it can be said that I was amazed. Beautiful shooting pictures, murmured narration, and coherent and integrated music, the whole film surprised me and felt like I was reading a long love poem. Especially at the beginning and end, I didn't expect a feature film to be as full of romantic and beautiful rhythm as a music MV.

      some chops

      There are a lot of details that I think are worth noting. 1. Uterine B ultrasound, why use a very long lens. 2. Lead poisoning and industrial pollution. 3. Who is the last guy in the movie with blood on his head and tattoos on his shoulders? 3. When the pastor and Ben were talking, why did the two men fix the clock?

      One of the things that struck me about this movie was the industrial leak. I actually thought it would end with Ben and the heroine dying of lead and cadmium poisoning a...

      "Unrefined Repetition"

      No matter how awesome people are, there are times when their horses stumble. It wasn't a big deal when it happened to Terrence Malick. The old man's creative energy is almost exhausted in "To Wonderland", and it seems that nothing can be created. The little Moer that was not used up in "The Tree of Life" was used in this sequel. Ben Affleck's performance is never in the state, it's a pity that Corey Lancome is such a beauty. The capture of natural scenery and natural light is still Malick's...

      20130816jtl Terrence Malik is really about to become an immortal. This time, he continued the ravings of the last tree of life, filled with the inner monologues of the characters from the beginning to the end, like prose, poetry, revelation, full of emotions, but not story. Photography is still perfect, every angle is exquisite, mobile photography, backlighting. what is love? From ancient times to the present, no one has been able to clarify, and this movie was not intended to be clear, it was j

      When we are unknowingly spoiled by the narrative and structure of Hollywood's three-act drama, our ability to accept it will become worse and less, and we will forget that film is originally an art. When the seventy-year-old Malik used his method to shoot "Towards Wonderland", it was not an old man's postmodernity, but what he presented was a perspective of observing the world, a way of expressing art, pure and beautiful. Olga is the kind of fairy who is a girl when she loves and a woman when...

      I have always identified in my heart with this world: the known and unknown, and even the universe as a whole that has always existed as a ubiquitous totality of consciousness, and this film certainly provides that...

      It's hard to say that this is a feature film... If you don't know the director's experience and religious background, you can only watch this film and immerse yourself in the beautiful pictures and keep asking "what the hell are you talking about?" Although only from the picture and atmosphere Watching this film is already super five-star level, but the way of storytelling that is too personal and a bit too high may only be suitable for a small group of people to appreciate and can only give...

    Evaluation action

    This love story has been described as more "transcendental" than "The Tree of Life". According to those who have seen the film, the director's iconic "meditation" still abounds in the film ( NetEase Entertainment Review )   .
    Like the previous work, the picture of "To the Wonder" is still exceptionally beautiful. Whether it is a beautiful natural landscape or a simple American town, the director can use the light and angle to make it...

    Movie quotes

    • Marina: I write on water what I dare not say.

    • Father Quintana: We wish to live inside the safety of the laws. We fear to choose. Jesus insists on choice. The one thing he condemns utterly is avoiding the choice. To choose is to commit yourself. And to commit yourself is to run the risk, is to run the risk of failure, the risk of sin, the risk of betrayal. But Jesus can deal with all of those. Forgiveness he never denies us. The man who makes a mistake can repent. But the man who hesitates, who does nothing, who buries his talent in the earth, with him he can do nothing.

    • Neil: My sweet love. At last. My hope. How I loved you...
