Review of The New World (2005) by John A — 22 Nov 2010
An achingly beautiful tale of love, discovery, self-interest, and maturity, told in Malick's typically poetic style. Mixing voice-over narration with on screen dialogue, and images of nature with those of the plot, Malick creates feelings and moods that ebb and flow throughout the film.
With excellent use of Wagner and Mozart to underline the film's themes, the film makes for a creative portrait not just of America's first Euro settlers, but of human tendencies, shortcomings, and virtues.
