This movie is going to bomb badly. Most people will probably find it boring, and the only thing others will find great about it will be the cinematography.

I thought this ever since I read the title and story. I strongly agree with others that it seems he's doing a Malick inspired epic. On that level, I remember many people finding "The New World" very tedious. Even though it's one of my favorite films of the decade.

Can't wait to see the poster so maybe I can snag it for my collection.

those shots of him in the dark with the shadows and such, are those of him saying the narration? his mouth doesnt seem to be moving to me.

he gets asked the question first from someone off screen, then DDL answers...

maybe i'm retarded but it doesn't seem to me like DDL's mouth moves.

It's all voice-over I think.

I don't see how you cannot understand that.

The voice over/audio monologue is from another part of the movie where DDL is actually saying it.

that's what i thought. my friend was giving me the business because he thought it wasn't.

this is a part of the reason there's such a strong malick comparison.  but it reminds me of the earl VO monologe as well.  PTAisms are all over it.

Which bodes well for you. It means you were spared a Baptist upbringing:)

Feels much closer in spirit to Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West than it does to anything Malick did. Malick didn't even do anything resembling a western, so that comparison is retarded.

I thought it came across in my post that, I too, had a Baptist upbringing. I think I came out ok. Even so, I didn't enjoy the experience. Don't be so uptight, my man.

I don't get the Malick comparisons. Just because of the voice-over/montage approach? Did Malick copyright that or something?
