Review of The New World (2005) by Jesse N — 11 May 2016
I give it five stars because I like long slow "operatic," finely shot movies. If you like a straight-ahead story line and lots of events, this definitely isn't for you. If you like Kubrick, this is a must see.
What I mean by operatic is many recurring themes set against beautiful, often melancholy backgrounds--with a mix of heaven and horror--that slowly prime the brain for a gigantic sublime cadence at the end. This is one of those films. And the extended version makes it all the more powerful to viewers like me.
