Review of The New World (2005) by Danny D — 31 Jan 2010
Unlike any movie ever made. malick is certainly a visual director, and this is one of the most visually remarkable films ever made. the entire story is told through the visuals, and dialogue and character development is at a minimum in the film, but this is one of the rare times when that works.
at times I felt like I was really getting to know jamestown more through this film than in all of the study ive done on the place. malick accomplishes trapping you in his story and scenery so well that when the characters end up in england in the final act, despite the fact that its far more like what we experience in life, I still felt a bit of culture shock that helped me resonate with the characters in a profound way.
a beautiful movie.
