when watching malick, one has to have a frame of mind reserved only for watching terrence malick.
because he doesn't care about making making movies the way we are all accustomed to. i think it is largely a matter of taste. i like moving pictures often employed in his films - my brother called it "the slideshow". it is effective to show loneliness and isolation, as often experienced by characters in malick's movies.
relationships depicted in this movie seemed forced and full of burden. i don't know why it is like that. sure i understand both partners have to work on it - but to start something on a basis that is so fragile, and trying to sustain that love (?) is just as simple as not feeling anything anymore. at times i feel ben affleck character is so lazy. stop breaking people's heart with your face, man.
