Half angel, half devil

Although it is a 30-year-old movie, the process of watching it does not feel like an "old movie".

Every picture strives for perfection. I don't know if Terrence Malick is a perfectionist or an idealist. I learned about him from the newspaper: a less prolific director, a mundane director, can add his films to the collection, so that you can enjoy them slowly in the future.

There is a castle standing in the endless waves of wheat. I am very mentally thinking about how to use water and electricity, and I unkindly think of the "naked marriage age" as I watched it.

In the film, I think life is gone in the United States, and disappeared in China. It is an era where more communication is through the Internet, but there are fewer friends around. Although many people yearn for such a sloppy life, they are no longer used to it.

There is another gain. I saw Richard Gere's youthful appearance. The nose is not very red.

Days of Heaven quotes

  • Linda: Are we gonna stay?

    Bill: If she wants to.

    Linda: You'd rather go?

    Bill: I'd rather be the King of Siam.

  • Linda: He was tired of livin' like the rest of them - nosin' around like a pig in a gutter. He wasn't in the mood no more. He figured there must be somethin' wrong with 'em - the way they always got no luck - and they oughta get it straightened out. He figured some people need more than they got, other people got more than they need. Just a matter of gettin' us all together.
