ebyfeline Unadulterated nothingness. No entertainment value in the least unless boring has value. Total tripe.
sol- Shaken after surviving a massive earthquake, a Hollywood screenwriter reflects on his life and faded memories blur with the present in this ambitious anti-narrative project from Terrence Malick. The film is littered with beautiful shots from unusual camera angles and lenses and mobile camera-work that follows the protagonist around and there is a lot to like in Malick's attempts to paint his thought processes on screen. Solid as Christian Bale is in the lead though, he does not have a particularly well developed character, which makes it hard to get emotionally invested in his meanderings. Brian Dennehy provides a very strong performance as his grief-stricken father and there are hints of past tragedy in their family and possibly a failed marriage, but these all ultimately remain hints with Dennehy and Wes Bentley (as Bale's brother) receiving very limited screen time. That said, some of Bale's alone moments are his best and in the film's strongest scene, his apartment is robbed by intruders who scoff at how little cash he has, his lack of credit cards and very few valuables at home; this scene more than any other marks him realising just how empty his life is. More scenes like this may have rendered 'Knights of Cups' a quiet masterpiece. As it is, it is undeniably interesting as something offbeat and very, very different, but it is hardly the most satisfying film out there.
Martin Lopez Well, as you can see by my title and rating, I think this is a masterpiece. I think this is top Malick (along with New World and Tree of Life), where his style is perfect. If you don't know what I am talking about, watch this or one of those other films.In particular, this film is profoundly spiritual (transpersonal, for a more updated term). It deals with the search for truth in life, in an autobiographical/artistic manner - During the 70's, Malick spent many years as a writer-director in Hollywood, with big paychecks and no finished films. But this isn't really a story about the details, but about the universality hiding behind. This is one of the truly profound films ever made. It deals with spirituality in such a deep way that most people don't understand it. But if you have had dealings with spirituality, spiritual masters, transcendence and sacredness in real life, then you will recognize the elements in this film. On the contrary, you will be baffled by the story and you will only think of this as a beautiful but empty film. But, not because you cannot see something, does it mean it does not exist.No, this is not Malick turned into a parody of himself. It is maximal Malick, the most accomplished one. Contemplation is the style. Transcendence is the way.So, in summary, if you are acquainted or would like to be acquainted with the Dao, Advaita, Zen or any other true religion, then you will find a quiet but storm-full mirror in this infinitely profound film. Might as well give it a try. Bliss is on the other side.
Roland Herrera It's hard to make out a plot in this movie, nevertheless I enjoyed it. The camera work or photography is excellent.. I also appreciated the music, especially the Grieg, since I am a Classical Violinist !I do like the moods and feelings that come across, no doubt each person will interpret these a little differently. It's not an accessible movie to watch, and not a traditional film but still I like it, perhaps not as much as The Tree of Life... since that was slightly more traditional and slightly more defined... this is even more other-world like and one would do well to watch some of his other films first, in preparation.Enough ramble.. just count me in as a fan. For sure.
