The scenery is still a dream

Attracted by the poster, I thought it would be a story like The Catcher in the Rye.

The character shot at the beginning of the story is very simple and powerful. The

two heroines have deep black eyes and a thin mouth that is slightly bent. This is a kind of melancholy. It looks like a black tulip.

The plot develops and starts to become weak later, but it does not hide the wonderfulness of some monologues in the script."some own too much, some want too much, and the essence of all of this is they mix together" "there is no perfect man, there is half devil, half angel in them" "this girl she has no money, she don't know where to go, may be someday she will meet someone good" The
dialogue is direct and thorough without disguise and subtlety Pretentiousness

The best part should be the view from the camera, the grand and lofty farm scenery of the central United States, from the majestic cloudy sky, the boundless wheat fields, the towering and isolated villas in the wheat fields, the locust swarms falling like a rainstorm, and the almost feel From the fire scene where the flames jumped out of the camera, to the detailed forest under the wind and light, the ripples when the light rain sweeps across the lake, the rain and dew on the tip of the cyan wheat ears, the new wheat cabbage sprouting from the cocoon of the soil The two locusts on the top can clearly see their expressions greedily chewing their food.

Nestor Almendros is a great photographer. He took such a magnificent shot in 1978 when the technology was scarce. The

farmer became the richest farmer because of a bumper harvest. His favorite locust destroyed everything he was and was murdered by a rival

    Extreme realism Natural exquisite naturalism Armando's photography poetic interpretation of heaven The composition of the light is delicate and charming The multiple shots give goosebumps. Many people talk about the film and praise Armando's photography and criticize the script. But through the extremely meticulous description of nature and the music, the side narrative film is a poetic image, like the real life, the hell-like fire, the demon-like locusts, and the heaven is extremely shocking

    [B+] I really didn't expect that Malick had made such a neat film in the early days: an extremely standard three-act play, the predicament in the city goes out to the wheat field fairyland, the house based on the center plays the role of a switch in the play, just enter the to start the next story. So the movie naturally entered the realm of heaven, and Malik can finally play to the fullest, allowing "beauty" to exist here. The girl's narration may be the only element that prevents the audience from pulling away from the plot. When the internal conflicts of the characters are backlogged to the apex, it naturally needs an allegorical catastrophe to generate impetus, so with the plague of locusts and the fire, the image finally shocks the soul again. After the three were exiled from the space, they fell into brokenness again, and their emotions stopped there, unable to extend again. The photography is naturally perfect, but those voices shouldn't continue to be ignored, along with Morricone's soundtrack, to constitute a complete Wonderland experience.
