Terrence Malik's understanding of the image has reached a state of perfection. The characters in the film with different but seemingly the same characteristics seem to become a background for the film's content. This concept seems to be traced back to Antonioni, rather than a nonlinear narrative, interrupted and disordered. The words seem to have Godard's shadow. As for the content of the film, it seems that Terrence's usual cliché is suspected, the relationship between people, the relationship between people and the environment, and the relationship between people and beliefs. Just in a different form. Poetry is poetry, and singing is also a form. No matter how far the concept of the story is expanded, it is necessary to consider whether it can avoid the fact that the meaning is ambiguous. Emmanuel Lubezki is an excellent photographer. He and Terrence Malik are a natural match. The composition, lighting and atmosphere of each scene in the film show his understanding of the director's intentions. There are few photographers in the world who can do this.
