What a movie. I'm an instant fan and I loved the pacing. What did you guys think of it?

Shit pacing.
Leo Kelly
Does a pretty good job at exposing the nature of the eternal w*man

star wars ripped this off

A comfy wojak in a thread about a comfy movie
I disagree...I found the gradual disillusionment very well done and both Sheen and Spacek's characters were fleshed out well enough (they are simple characters, and relatable). At the beginning of the movie I thought to myself how Sheen looked like James Dean before they talked about it in the movie, and as it went on I saw him for who he was.
This was a uniquely American film and I loved it!

True romance was better
Aiden Perry
literally his only good movie
Jaxson Sanders
i don't get the appeal of any of Mallicks movies
his movies are like watching a commercial for eco-friendly handsoap
tree of life was literally an evangelical infomercial like they used to play when i was a kid before early morn cartoons
Logan Thomas
He was so awfully handsome in this film.
Asher Jones
Badlands is a conventional road movie, very different from Malick's recent works.
Luis Cruz
I didn't care for it. Although in fairness, I haven't seen it.
Bentley Williams
it transcends the conventional cinematic language
Kayden Taylor
Interesting how you believe his best movie was his first. I wonder how that happens. It makes me nervous I'm doing nothing in the creative heyday of my life. Is it true we fall off so quickly?
I didn't get that sense from this movie, although I haven't seen his other work.
Explain
BTW the budget for this was 300k, which is less than 2.5 million in today's dollars. Pretty impressive!

commercials unironically take more skill and look better than most movies, especially when it's shot on film, most of the great 80s and 90s blockbuster directors started out in commercials
malick has sucked ever since he switched to digital, the fucking dinosaur scene in the tree of life was the beginning of the end
Cameron Rodriguez
they're comfy and yo sound too cynical to be able to enjoy them. If you can't enjoy Badlands for being a simply road film with great cinematography and good acting with a simple plot i don't know what to tell you
Adrian Phillips
It's not that his quality dropped off, he's obviously one of the most acclaimed directors ever. But his style completely changed and most audiences don't like it. I'm one of them

Days of Heaven is better.
