Unfortunately self preservation trumps what is right. And the evil in power know this. It's how they control humanity. Using fear. I believe it will be the entire downfall of civilization. Those in power too scared to lose power, that they would rather destroy everything. They themselves are fearful and rule with fear. It's the entire history of human civilization.

I saw this yesterday. One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen! Others cannot compare. It's like the beauty of a hushed whisper, or the silence of a mind at the height of indescribable pain.
I found it extremely annoying TBH and had to fast forward some parts, they could have made the same impact cutting out those "pretty" drawn out scenes and focused more on actual acting and actual dialogue. Much of which was in german and didnt not understand either. Otherwise was a good movie

Yet this movie was totally shut down from theatrical release. Brushed under Hollywood's award process. Like it never even existed. Why? I had a heck of a time even finding it on blu ray. It's almost like some group high up didn't want the masses seeing, what I think might be the most important film ever made. And more relevant now than EVER.
ahhhhh... I did this. half-cut, the last showing before it was out of the cinemas where I live. genuinely one of the most profound experiences I've ever had
My favorite film as well. It perfectly captures living a hard life ultimately unnoticed by anyone but God. I know this is true for me as it is for countless others. I think about the suffering so many nameless/faceless people in history have endured, and without God, it is too painful a burden to bear. This film is an antidote to nihilism, which is so tempting when observing such a broken, vile, fallen world. Such hope and beauty in it.
I totally agree with your comment here Brave Soul. Which is why I don't understand how whenever Black people recall the Holocaust of African-American SLAVERY, as well as the multitude of horrific atrocities committed against Black people by White people throughout the history of America, especially during the JIM CROW ERA, many White people have a tendency to tell Black people to STOP recalling or mentioning the PAST!!!!!
@@johnjacobs6725 There are slave moves that come out ever year and slavery is taught in schools. I don't think people will be forgetting it anytime soon.
Franz was true to God and the church when his own clergymen were traitors. A truly saintly man. His wife, Fani, was likewise true. Both deserve praise and respect.
Every single North American slave owner counted himself a good Christian, just like every Nazi did. This is because the Bible is constantly contradicting itself so you can find something to justify whatever your position is. And this is because it is not descended from the creator of the universe... You can tell by how he said to treat your slaves well, something that the creator of the universe would never say, assuming of course that the universe had a creator which there is no indication of... The bottom line is that every single human culture that ever existed in the last 500,000 years invented gods and creation myths, thus proving that it is an essential part of the basic nature of species. Nobody had ever heard of the god Yahweh until 4000 years ago. TL;DR If the Bible can't even steer you in the proper direction regarding something as simple as slavery, what good is it as a moral compass?
@@patrickparker4576here’s the thing though, Catholics don’t take out of context Bible verses and base their morality off of them because sola scriptura is false, Catholic social teaching has never condoned slavery, slavery was actually naturally eradicated by the feudal Catholic systems in Europe long before anywhere else on earth and value laden presuppositions are completely meaningless if you justify your beliefs by relativism. ACTUALLY LEARN church history and doctrine and philosophy then you’ll realize just how empty your condemnations are.
@@patrickparker4576 Hmm, wouldn't make such a hasty condemnation of the Bible because of the bad behavior of those who have used it to justify wrongs. Slavery back then (not the infamous chattel slavery based on skin color that helped build the United States) was a socially accepted institution that cannot be blamed on 1 religion. Likewise child sacrifice was fairly common back in the day and no one blinked an eye. Most (not all) pre-Judaic religions were polytheistic and had lots of names for their gods. Judaism was unique in that God identified themselves as "I am who am," i.e. didn't have a proper name and even now devout Jews don't refer to God by a proper name. Women too were considered property back in the day but Christianity suggested not only were women equal to men, there was no gender differences in Christ. I'm sure many so-called conservatives would be pulling their hair out if they really reflected on that! I agree the Bible alone isn't sufficient - it's a dense book with lots of meaning that while you can certainly pick up on some of it with a 3rd grade education, you won't get the full meaning and in fact I would argue when it's being abused it's due to a lack of education.
Something I learned from my actor friends is that character study and empathy is a huge deal on preparing for a role. He probably understood what it took to play the other side since he understood how a Nazi would think and behave.
This is the prequal to Inglorious Bastards. He gets conditioned into a Nazi & even gets into the high ranks only to find some of Aldo Raine's undercover team at an underground pub that shoot his balls off & kill him.
Terrance Malick always has one message in every movie if you pay attention. It’s true love is more Powerful than all forces of nature and guns existence. Love is the strongest element on the chart. You must love.
It's more about what you believe in and how your faith is more important than what the rest of the people around you think. Jägerstätter decided that he could not fight in the war because it was against his faith.
"The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by" quote from The tree of life (2011) i completely agrew with what you said!
@@RadOrtega Most definitely! Whenever you watch a movie then find yourself the next day appreciating the scope of it then you know how brilliant it was.
I have been watching Terence Malick ever since Badlands and this one, A Hidden Life, is his masterpieces. Beautiful beyond words with some timely, but not belabored, messages. The quote at the end of the movie says it all: “..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”― George Eliot, Middlemarch
I dont care about the Disney taking over Fox. So long as we have Fox Searchlight delivering, producing, and distributing quality films like this, I am all for it!
likewise, but the films are "flopping", and the deal has only been active for so long. I really hope they don't start axing shit or becoming a little dictatorial.
emielaen Fox Searchlight has had a distribution issue for a very long time now. Disney has actually been trying to fix it. Many didn’t even get to see Birdman because they didn’t send it out to enough theaters.
You should care. Can you imagine an film industry that Disney has a complete monopoly over? I guess we'll be saying goodbye to original standalone films like this and hello to endless franchise remakes, prequels, sequels, spin-offs and superhero crap.
@I Am Who I Am Yeah, another "Nazi bad' movie isn't really ground breaking in terms of the plot. Like you're talking about actual history and the trailer just goes "THEY'RE EVIL!"
@I Am Who I Am No, but he's a tinpot, wannabe authoritarian low-life and his supporters have a cult-like devotion to him. You're clearly the brainwashed one.
Films are often an escape from reality, a chance to let one's mind wander, that is for me atleast. But I think we should not shove down to someone else's throat the things that you find relevant.
Jorge Aguilera she understood the importance of helping him get to heaven, even if it meant losing him in this life. It takes a special kind of love and faith to watch a spouse go to their martyrdom.
This movie has altered my life. His actions are to be cherished and embraced; may I have the same courage if that is to be called upon me. Blessed Franz, please smile upon those of us who seek His face through love, forgiveness, and social justice
In case you are wondering, the music starting at 1:16 is Henryk Gorecki: Symphony no. 3 III The whole symphony is awesome, go listen to it immediately.
What you call mainstream live action, pre-sequal/sequel and reboot movies! is what finance these movies, that dont make that much at The Box Office. Stop trashing them both are good, Mad Max Fury Road was that and was great, People Accept it Or nor, Marvel Movies are good, so stop. Thats why Major Hollywood Studios have an Indie Division, Universal have Focus Features, Disney had Miramax wich made Pulp Fiction wich is a Disney Movie, Disney-Fox have Fox Searchlight, Paramount, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros do that too.
Mad Max Fury is one of the fewest decent movies. But don't you know the movies that are terrible to the bone? Such as Dark Phoenix and Hellboy (a parody version of the original?)? All I am saying is that 2019 is THE YEAR OF REMAKE/REPETITION! And there's nothing new. Instead of exploiting our nostalgia, why don't they just go out and make something as beautiful as this one? MCU is good so far. But do you accept that all MCU films are good? Are you happy with Disney's live-action movies? Again, you cannot just use some exceptions to justify the downfall of the film industry and lack of creativity. And of course, you are supporting this trend.
The music is the Symphony No.3 by Henryk Górecki. It is taken from an anonymous poem to his mother written by a prisoner in a Gestapo cell. It is so moving. It can only be listened to in silence and concentration. It is very slow and overpowering. "A solo soprano sings Polish texts in each of the three movements. The first is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary, mother of Jesus, the second a message written on the wall of a Gestapo cell during World War II, and the third a Silesian folk song of a mother searching for her son killed by the Germans in the Silesian uprisings. The first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, and the second movement from that of a child separated from a parent. The dominant themes of the symphony are motherhood and separation through war." Wikipedia
I've watched this trailer, oh, maybe a half dozen times, and the combination of words, images and music still brings tears to my eyes. I say this knowing that most of the movie-going audience will never understand or enjoy this type of narrative sadly. If a movie (or any piece of art) does not make you feel a true emotion beyond excitement, how good is it really?
Though there were clergy in the Church that protested , particularly the German Catholic church when Hitler took over and the Nazis came into power there and then worked with the allies including Pius (who got bashed ) as intelligence for them and helped the Jewish communities etc. - all this stuff is coming out now from government official articles because it is now being declassified- time restrictions up so historians are correcting the past narrative on it. At first people weren't sure about Hitler and the Nazis . THere is a book about the American ambassador (a Professor) and his family to Germany and how long it took for them to realize the true nature of Hitler and the Nazi movement and what was going on, and it was also a climate of fear for many people that they sort of went into a self denial about what they did hear or see- since they were kept in the dark about many things being in a authoritarian strictly controlled society . So he was perceptive and very brave.
This movie is a stunning Masterpiece! It stirs your soul, drawing you in slowly, yet deliberately, then moving you along on a train of emotions until you reach that final destination and become overwhelmed by the towering presence of God's love. Not since Schlinder's List has an audience been so deliberately captured, unable to escape, while the sheer force of Malick's message demands an emotional response from the observer. As you stand and prepare to exit the theater, a quiet reverence for this beautiful achievement is felt and you feel as though a part of your soul has been given away, removed, and you are forced to seek answers to life's great mysteries, to question and think over the significance and meaning of life and human interactions. Emotions found deep within one's being are forced out and unleashed as the climax of the film recalls the true life events of a loving husband and father, a simple farmer, whose great sin amongst his peers is wanting peace. Great films evoke feelings in an audience that many are usually unwilling to share, or reluctant to acknowledge, and like all great works of art, once seen, emotions are impossible to suppress. This is cinematic artistry at its best. If Oscar, the Academy for that matter, fail to recognize this stunning achievement, then they will have finally squandered what little credibility remains after years of poor selections and political correctness. The whole spectrum of cinematic imagery is employed by Malick, as he takes us back to Citizen Kane with his use of shadows and corridors of black and white, close up facials and unreachable windows of light suggest Malick wants his audience to search for God's hand in our daily lives. Confined spaces are contrasted by vast vistas of fields of wheat, rolling hills, lanes of tilled land and columns of trees that reach into eternity; mountains tower over us, distant but omnipresent, while streams flow below, filling rivers with life. The Nazis, Malick wants us to remember, have abandoned the search for meaning in life, ignoring the essence of their surroundings which they are so obsessed to control; they resort to violence and brutality, all the while ignoring God's majesty, life, and constantly determined to reject God's presence in nature, intent on lusting for power, and once achieved, creating places of steel and isolation, caging humans in cement cells like captured birds. Answers that will help explain life's mysteries are all part of Malick's quest. He gives his best attempt to answer his own queries at the film's conclusion. And through it all, there is one thing that is certain at the end of the film - there is no disputing the fact that Malick is a genius and this film is his Tour De Force - a Masterpiece, pure and simple. This is a film that needs to be seen multiple times in order to fully grasp the meaning. Malick, with this film, has entered the Parthenon of Film Directors from Welles, Kazan, Hitchcock, Spielberg to Kubrick. His visions require deep considerations and detailed reflection in order to properly appreciate the meanings Malick so carefully projects onto the screen. "A Hidden Life" is a hidden gem, that will only become more astonishing to look at with the passage of time. Bravo Terrence Malick!!
Well spoken. It appears you are one of the few left on this planet who desire answers to all of mankind's leaders inflicting such pain and suffering on the masses. My answer. Religion. Religion and lust for power to control what is thought of as, "all humans are sinners" has been the struggle since man could first subject man to his control. It's fear based rather than love based.

A typically stylish Terrance Malick film with majestic visuals, attention to detail, voiceovers during the story, gorgeous musical soundtrack, and brilliant acting! In this case August Diell and the wildly talented Valerie Pachner! A great love story caught up in the husband's WWII public disloyalty to Hitler. Perhaps his finest achievement since 'Days of Heaven'.
Oscars is no longer credible these days. Like Joker was nominated was “Best Picture”? Are you kidding me? Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal as Joker but there’s no way the film deserves for a “Best Picture” nom.
“They look up [at the painted Christ] and they imagine that if they lived in Christ’s time they wouldn’t have acted as the others did...We create admirers. We do not create followers.” That was a beautiful line by the Church artist in this film! So true!
Seen at Cannes. Just like other Malick films, it may not be for everyone, but I thought it was a great one. It is a very long movie, but there is still a better sense of narrative flow, compared to "Knight of Cups" and "Song to Song". Gorgeous cinematography which does implement recent Malick techniques, with occasional use of static shots, particularly when showcasing the landscapes.
@Language Lover 173 minutes, his longest since "The Thin Red Line" (170). Not counting the extended versions of "The New World" (173) and "The Tree of Life" (189).
Just got back from seeing it; quite a sobering movie esp with the craziness of work and the materialistic holidays. I didnt want to stop watching it. Malick & Widmer really make you feel like you were there in those ordinary moments as a farmer. Former brings back his favorite theme of family: screenplay like from Tree of Life. Thiel's character really inspires us to do the right thing and live life by morals/principles. His wife was so beautiful/enduring as a mother + wife and wise especially. She (and their love) was the one who made her husband a good man.
You already know the answer you get called everything from a racist to a nzi and have your entire social life destroyed and your family attacked and harassed by groups like ANTIFA and BLM.

When evildoers assail me, uttering slanders against me, my adversaries and foes, they shall stumble and fall. Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.

Yes! By Gorecki. I knew I had heard it before somewhere. When was a teenager my mother had me lie down on the bed in a dark room with headphones on and listen to that piece. I thought she was nuts at the time but it was truly an unforgettable experience.
Yes,sadly he passed away just recently. I still can't get used to it. He wasn't even that old. Amazing actor. I loved his role of Angel Damiel in Der Himmel über Berlin. That is one of my favourite movies of all times. I am looking forward to see this movie.
I'm still devastated that the political drama set in the Vatican where he was going to play the Pope never got out of pilot phase. It would have been a perfect role for him. He's such an under-rated actor.
Having just watched this film it provided much more substance than the Tree of Life. This true story was truly inspiring and I was moved to tears at the end.
As the director of my favorite movie of all time (Tree of Life), I absolutely cannot wait for this movie. What's even more amazing is that it releases on my birthday.

Finally a Terrence Mallick's movie whose plot made some sense just by the glimpse of the trailer and not the usual weary and dreariness that we get from his previous ones and when Mallick gets a plot, we know what to expect......................a masterpiece.
I wept at the beauty and grandeur of this film, the intimacy and commitment of the husband and wife relationship and the quote that the "quietest acts of resistance are part of what save civilization". This man (and wife) is humanity at it's finest, in a time of pure darkness. If this movie is half as good as the trailer, I hope it wins an Oscar.

I've never cried for a movie in my life but when they rang the bells for Franz in this one it took all my willpower not to...this is one of those movies that stick with you for a while...I didn't think Hollyweird was capable of making something like this anymore
Is a majestic, beautifully shot film. The cast is excellent too, the contrast of the close ups of the individual characters and the settings specially the mountain side are breathtaking. There is shot or two of the family enjoying life before their tragedy at the edge of the mountain where the camera mirrors the angle of the mountain itself. It reminded me of Silence and Paul both moving and powerful films. Unfortunally for some men like him, the Nazis hated those who did not break under pressure peacefully resisting even more than those who fought back against them. The music is just amazing as the journey of his test of faith is told for 3 hours, yes is a long movie but worth it all.
@Jaroslaw Bolbotowski Really? The truth is hidden until the horrors come out for real, only then ppl will show the true face. Not by looking in to the mirror. In this respect Im worried what I could become. I only pray to god to lead me right in worst of circumstances!
@@themaximussx875 Think you missed the point. Why look for men of principle when you yourself can become one if you want to be. It doesn't take anything special to be one. Even in the worst of times, your actions are your own and you alone are responsible for them. No point in praying to God for actions that you yourself have full control over.
The setting is particularly interesting because he was in this grand landscape with huge towering mountains, most would feel small and unimportant, and yet he understood the weight of his choices and actions, and he had chosen to do what’s right and kind🤍 stunning film
I think it's the best of TM. But his "The New World" is also amazing. If you like this movie, try that too. Also very poetic, with the best music of Hans Zimmer on top, "The thin red line". But war movie.
Some may find it boring or too long. But this is what the best filmmakers do, they lull you into the film by drawings scenes out and including ones that contain very little action or motion. It almost makes us feel like we’re there between the scenes and that we’re given a more intimate look in someone’s life. I believe this is a beautifully shot, tragically written, and very under appreciated film. The relevance this story has today goes so unnoticed. Beyond grateful that films like this are made, though few and far between. More importantly, I’m grateful there is an audience to receive it
This movie touched me in so many ways! I didn't realize there were more then just the Jews that were put to death. What faith and belief this man had under the most devastating conditions. His love for God made him realize he could not be part of the evil the Nazi's were. He gave up his life and family. Truly he will be great in heaven. His wife also gave up alot and knew he was right. There was a part of me that was saying go home to your wife and kids but the other part of me knew his love for God had to come first. This true story was very touching.

Wait, the one that got shot in the Nazi balls?
Something I learned from my actor friends is that character study and empathy is a huge deal on preparing for a role. He probably understood what it took to play the other side since he understood how a Nazi would think and behave.
Versatility
This is the prequal to Inglorious Bastards. He gets conditioned into a Nazi & even gets into the high ranks only to find some of Aldo Raine's undercover team at an underground pub that shoot his balls off & kill him.
And in Allied was a nazi too
Terrance Malick always has one message in every movie if you pay attention. It’s true love is more
Powerful than all forces of nature and guns existence. Love is the strongest element on the chart. You must love.
It's more about what you believe in and how your faith is more important than what the rest of the people around you think. Jägerstätter decided that he could not fight in the war because it was against his faith.
Raffaela E I’m not taking about this movie I’m talking about his ideology as a film director and as a story teller. This is his universal message.
"The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by" quote from The tree of life (2011) i completely agrew with what you said!
You must love but I don't have faith. You must love purely.
Five years later and still one of the best trailers created. Gives me chills every time. Masterful film.
I wholeheartedly concur
I can count on one hand the number of films that moved me like this one did. Such a masterpiece of pure cinema.
Yes it was.🙏
@@RadOrtega Most definitely! Whenever you watch a movie then find yourself the next day appreciating the scope of it then you know how brilliant it was.
Totally agree - it has stayed with me every day for the ten days since I saw it...
Can you recommend more movies like these ?
I have been watching Terence Malick ever since Badlands and this one, A Hidden Life, is his masterpieces. Beautiful beyond words with some timely, but not belabored, messages. The quote at the end of the movie says it all: “..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”― George Eliot, Middlemarch
Such terrific cinematography. Critics are saying this is Malick's best since "The Tree of Life."
Wilfred Lucas Well, he has not really come out with anything since then, nothing really Exceptional
@@SJK499
He's made a lot of movies since then, but none were particularly fantastic, though I did like Song to Song
I mean... everything in between suck tbh so yeah xd
Tree of life is not everyone's cup of tea.
@@anchalkumar8224
I know, but at least from critics it's gotten universal acclaim (for good reason)
I dont care about the Disney taking over Fox.
So long as we have Fox Searchlight delivering, producing, and distributing quality films like this, I am all for it!
likewise, but the films are "flopping", and the deal has only been active for so long. I really hope they don't start axing shit or becoming a little dictatorial.
emielaen Fox Searchlight has had a distribution issue for a very long time now. Disney has actually been trying to fix it. Many didn’t even get to see Birdman because they didn’t send it out to enough theaters.
@@milanxlewisI just wish these films were as popular / got recognition like all the other critical flops
Disney will distribute Searchlight movies, but under Searchlight's banner
You should care. Can you imagine an film industry that Disney has a complete monopoly over? I guess we'll be saying goodbye to original standalone films like this and hello to endless franchise remakes, prequels, sequels, spin-offs and superhero crap.
This movie is what we need, unfortunately none of the people now who really need to have their eyes and hearts opened won’t see this movie
@I Am Who I Am I was wondering the same thing. Is an anti-nazi stance not already the main stream thing in the world?
@I Am Who I Am Yeah, another "Nazi bad' movie isn't really ground breaking in terms of the plot. Like you're talking about actual history and the trailer just goes "THEY'RE EVIL!"
@I Am Who I Am
No, but he's a tinpot, wannabe authoritarian low-life and his supporters have a cult-like devotion to him. You're clearly the brainwashed one.
@I Am Who I Am "I can't do what I believe is wrong"
Films are often an escape from reality, a chance to let one's mind wander, that is for me atleast. But I think we should not shove down to someone else's throat the things that you find relevant.
This was such a humbling experience. I think I spent the last 40 minutes of this movie crying.
"I am with you, always" The sacrament of marriage in a nutshell
Jorge Aguilera she understood the importance of helping him get to heaven, even if it meant losing him in this life. It takes a special kind of love and faith to watch a spouse go to their martyrdom.
Amen 🙏
I went into this movie totally blind and it was the best blind watch ive ever seen. It took me by surprise and i felt emotions i didnt know i had
❤
Terrence Malick is the Rembrandt of cinema. His films will defy the ages.
This movie has altered my life. His actions are to be cherished and embraced; may I have the same courage if that is to be called upon me. Blessed Franz, please smile upon those of us who seek His face through love, forgiveness, and social justice
Yes - I think I would say this was a life-changing film for me.
Same for me

I saw it last night - one of the best movies I've seen in years. Highly recommended.
Nate Jones I hated it so boring
August Diehl is absolutely amazing, such a terrific actor giving world class performance. Inglorious Bastards anyone?
Beautiful cinematography..... I am done with mainstream live action, pre-sequal/sequel and reboot movies!
What you call mainstream live action, pre-sequal/sequel and reboot movies! is what finance these movies, that dont make that much at The Box Office. Stop trashing them both are good, Mad Max Fury Road was that and was great, People Accept it Or nor, Marvel Movies are good, so stop. Thats why Major Hollywood Studios have an Indie Division, Universal have Focus Features, Disney had Miramax wich made Pulp Fiction wich is a Disney Movie, Disney-Fox have Fox Searchlight, Paramount, Sony Pictures and Warner Bros do that too.
Mad Max Fury is one of the fewest decent movies. But don't you know the movies that are terrible to the bone? Such as Dark Phoenix and Hellboy (a parody version of the original?)? All I am saying is that 2019 is THE YEAR OF REMAKE/REPETITION! And there's nothing new. Instead of exploiting our nostalgia, why don't they just go out and make something as beautiful as this one? MCU is good so far. But do you accept that all MCU films are good? Are you happy with Disney's live-action movies? Again, you cannot just use some exceptions to justify the downfall of the film industry and lack of creativity. And of course, you are supporting this trend.
Natanael Rodriguez Miramax didn’t make or fund pulp fiction. They distributed it. Very different things.
I’m not done.
I need a break from them.
Till next Summer after December.
Terrance Malik is a master of this craft
The music is the Symphony No.3 by Henryk Górecki. It is taken from an anonymous poem to his mother written by a prisoner in a Gestapo cell. It is so moving. It can only be listened to in silence and concentration. It is very slow and overpowering.
"A solo soprano sings Polish texts in each of the three movements. The first is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary, mother of Jesus, the second a message written on the wall of a Gestapo cell during World War II, and the third a Silesian folk song of a mother searching for her son killed by the Germans in the Silesian uprisings. The first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, and the second movement from that of a child separated from a parent. The dominant themes of the symphony are motherhood and separation through war."
Wikipedia
Thank you.
Terrence Malick is the Rembrandt of cinema. His filmography are timeless works of splendor and beauty
I've watched this trailer, oh, maybe a half dozen times, and the combination of words, images and music still brings tears to my eyes. I say this knowing that most of the movie-going audience will never understand or enjoy this type of narrative sadly. If a movie (or any piece of art) does not make you feel a true emotion beyond excitement, how good is it really?
It's one of those trailers to show you enough so you want to watch it all.
This trailer is a masterpiece. Shed a tear too.
Such A Great Movie .... About Faith, War, Religion, Hate, Love, Good and Bad ..... An inner war of each of us ... Respect from north Africa (Tunisia)
There is nothing more beautiful than Mallick's filmography.I have been eagerly waiting for this historical drama.
One of the great martyrs of the Catholic Church. It's a pity the priests and bishops he confided in did not posses similar courage.
Whose life are these facts based upon?
@@valianttruth3745 Franz Jagerstatter, an Austrian farmer.
Though there were clergy in the Church that protested , particularly the German Catholic church when Hitler took over and the Nazis came into power there and then worked with the allies including Pius (who got bashed ) as intelligence for them and helped the Jewish communities etc. - all this stuff is coming out now from government official articles because it is now being declassified- time restrictions up so historians are correcting the past narrative on it. At first people weren't sure about Hitler and the Nazis . THere is a book about the American ambassador (a Professor) and his family to Germany and how long it took for them to realize the true nature of Hitler and the Nazi movement and what was going on, and it was also a climate of fear for many people that they sort of went into a self denial about what they did hear or see- since they were kept in the dark about many things being in a authoritarian strictly controlled society . So he was perceptive and very brave.
Two great books I’d recommend - Scarlet and the Black by Gallagher and Church of Spies by Riebling

This movie is a stunning Masterpiece! It stirs your soul, drawing you in slowly, yet deliberately, then moving you along on a train of emotions until you reach that final destination and become overwhelmed by the towering presence of God's love. Not since Schlinder's List has an audience been so deliberately captured, unable to escape, while the sheer force of Malick's message demands an emotional response from the observer. As you stand and prepare to exit the theater, a quiet reverence for this beautiful achievement is felt and you feel as though a part of your soul has been given away, removed, and you are forced to seek answers to life's great mysteries, to question and think over the significance and meaning of life and human interactions. Emotions found deep within one's being are forced out and unleashed as the climax of the film recalls the true life events of a loving husband and father, a simple farmer, whose great sin amongst his peers is wanting peace. Great films evoke feelings in an audience that many are usually unwilling to share, or reluctant to acknowledge, and like all great works of art, once seen, emotions are impossible to suppress. This is cinematic artistry at its best. If Oscar, the Academy for that matter, fail to recognize this stunning achievement, then they will have finally squandered what little credibility remains after years of poor selections and political correctness. The whole spectrum of cinematic imagery is employed by Malick, as he takes us back to Citizen Kane with his use of shadows and corridors of black and white, close up facials and unreachable windows of light suggest Malick wants his audience to search for God's hand in our daily lives. Confined spaces are contrasted by vast vistas of fields of wheat, rolling hills, lanes of tilled land and columns of trees that reach into eternity; mountains tower over us, distant but omnipresent, while streams flow below, filling rivers with life. The Nazis, Malick wants us to remember, have abandoned the search for meaning in life, ignoring the essence of their surroundings which they are so obsessed to control; they resort to violence and brutality, all the while ignoring God's majesty, life, and constantly determined to reject God's presence in nature, intent on lusting for power, and once achieved, creating places of steel and isolation, caging humans in cement cells like captured birds. Answers that will help explain life's mysteries are all part of Malick's quest. He gives his best attempt to answer his own queries at the film's conclusion. And through it all, there is one thing that is certain at the end of the film - there is no disputing the fact that Malick is a genius and this film is his Tour De Force - a Masterpiece, pure and simple. This is a film that needs to be seen multiple times in order to fully grasp the meaning. Malick, with this film, has entered the Parthenon of Film Directors from Welles, Kazan, Hitchcock, Spielberg to Kubrick. His visions require deep considerations and detailed reflection in order to properly appreciate the meanings Malick so carefully projects onto the screen. "A Hidden Life" is a hidden gem, that will only become more astonishing to look at with the passage of time. Bravo Terrence Malick!!
What a beautiful commentary! Thank you
beautiful words..thank you
Well spoken. It appears you are one of the few left on this planet who desire answers to all of mankind's leaders inflicting such pain and suffering on the masses.
My answer. Religion. Religion and lust for power to control what is thought of as, "all humans are sinners" has been the struggle since man could first subject man to his control. It's fear based rather than love based.

True religion - often lacking sadly - is about love not control

How come?
Just when I saw " A cathedral of the senses " I immediately knew it's Terrence Malick.

I could tell from the thumbnail. Malik’s style stands out like a sore thumb.
I didn't even needed to see who directed this. The cinematography tells you inmidiatly
Exactly the same thing happened to me. I was thinking while watching the trailer, oh how similar to Malick this is, and then.... yes!!
It feels like meditation, sitting on Himalayas and watching the clouds in day and gazing the stars and galaxy in night
Terrence Malick always direct movies with such a beautiful cinematography, also does Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Likewise
Do you mean Immediately?
A typically stylish Terrance Malick film with majestic visuals, attention to detail, voiceovers during the story, gorgeous musical soundtrack, and brilliant acting! In this case August Diell and the wildly talented Valerie Pachner! A great love story caught up in the husband's WWII public disloyalty to Hitler. Perhaps his finest achievement since 'Days of Heaven'.
Seems like Malick is actually doing what the "God's Not Dead" people only *think* they're doing.
@@metus5831 more like '97
@@metus5831 Indeed.
Good comment. That's the difference between a true artist and an ideologue trying to use art only as a means to an end.
Exactly.
klausweasley yea i can see that. The difference is Terrence Malick KNOWS how to film a movie
Sometimes I return to this trailer just to cry for a while. Transcendend work.
Absolutely.
The fact that this didn’t even get nominated for anything by the academy is complete BS
Same thought at least the best cinematography .
the so called academy is garbage. i've known this for years. ... 11 noms for Joker ? seriously ??
So true. Such a masterpiece.
Hey warren lol
Oscars is no longer credible these days. Like Joker was nominated was “Best Picture”? Are you kidding me? Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal as Joker but there’s no way the film deserves for a “Best Picture” nom.
“They look up [at the painted Christ] and they imagine that if they lived in Christ’s time they wouldn’t have acted as the others did...We create admirers. We do not create followers.”
That was a beautiful line by the Church artist in this film! So true!
Honestly, this is one of the best movies of the 21st Century, and I feel like not many people know about it. That's a shame.
i have literally never been more excited for a film in my entire life
Totally agree
I waited for it for so long
I just know I'm going to cry when this movie comes out...
I just cried with the trailer...
@Pedro C no, I'm Hispanic..but the drama and pain of hardships transcends across-the-board
@Pedro Keane your point?
@Pedro Keane Jews played no part in this movie.
Seen at Cannes. Just like other Malick films, it may not be for everyone, but I thought it was a great one. It is a very long movie, but there is still a better sense of narrative flow, compared to "Knight of Cups" and "Song to Song". Gorgeous cinematography which does implement recent Malick techniques, with occasional use of static shots, particularly when showcasing the landscapes.
Awesome, I actually liked Knight of Cups and Song To Song and I’m really looking forward to this one.
@Language Lover 173 minutes, his longest since "The Thin Red Line" (170).
Not counting the extended versions of "The New World" (173) and "The Tree of Life" (189).
Great to hear! Song to song would've been a great 30 min short film with Mara and Gosling, feature length not so much.
S2S isn't a narrative movie
So Jin Choi How was the music? One of the reasons I still regularly watch “The Thin Red Line” is the music.
Just got back from seeing it; quite a sobering movie esp with the craziness of work and the materialistic holidays. I didnt want to stop watching it. Malick & Widmer really make you feel like you were there in those ordinary moments as a farmer. Former brings back his favorite theme of family: screenplay like from Tree of Life. Thiel's character really inspires us to do the right thing and live life by morals/principles. His wife was so beautiful/enduring as a mother + wife and wise especially. She (and their love) was the one who made her husband a good man.
A masterpiece. Watched it for the first time last night. A story of will power for the greater Glory of God.
A simple man who decided to say “no”. I wonder what will happen to the people today who say “no” to the things they are pushing on us now.
You already know the answer you get called everything from a racist to a nzi and have your entire social life destroyed and your family attacked and harassed by groups like ANTIFA and BLM.
Saying “no” to taking the vaccine and in the process risk sacrificing others in order to potentially save your own body is not the same as saying “no” to swearing an oath to Hitler and in the process sacrificing your own body in order to save your soul.
Whos they and what are they pushing?
@@pugbread2873 well let's see Vice News is pushing for people to go out with trans people because if you don't you're bigoted. Being white automatically makes you a racist according to TYT, the list goes on.
Well, we are finding that out in 2023. Most people are afraid to say no and look away... again
THE FIRST FRAMES AND I AUTOMATICALLY KNEW IT WAS ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM TERRENCE!!
Nothing more visually beautiful than his movies.
Never thought a movie like this would have any relevance on me . I do now ، while watching this piece It felt like Im lying on grass watching a glorious cathedral beiging built behind prison bars ،On top of all this, this film gave me a picture of a quote I knew
《The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy》.
An intense, heartbreaking trailer.
Knowing this happened makes it more painful.
So many lessons to be learned from this story.
"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise- in God, I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" - Psalm 56: 3 - 4
From Psalm 27: The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me,
uttering slanders against me,
my adversaries and foes,
they shall stumble and fall.
Though a host encamp against me,
my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me,
yet I will be confident.

Finally a Terrence Mallick's movie whose plot made some sense just by the glimpse of the trailer and not the usual weary and dreariness that we get from his previous ones and when Mallick gets a plot, we know what to expect......................a masterpiece.
True human heroes are born when the situation calls for it.
As long as their is evil, good men will always be there to stand up and drag them down.
Unsurprisingly, this looks like another masterstroke from Malick and one I can't wait for.
I wept at the beauty and grandeur of this film, the intimacy and commitment of the husband and wife relationship and the quote that the "quietest acts of resistance are part of what save civilization". This man (and wife) is humanity at it's finest, in a time of pure darkness.
If this movie is half as good as the trailer, I hope it wins an Oscar.

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS MOVIE.
Is a majestic, beautifully shot film. The cast is excellent too, the contrast of the close ups of the individual characters and the settings specially the mountain side are breathtaking. There is shot or two of the family enjoying life before their tragedy at the edge of the mountain where the camera mirrors the angle of the mountain itself. It reminded me of Silence and Paul both moving and powerful films. Unfortunally for some men like him, the Nazis hated those who did not break under pressure peacefully resisting even more than those who fought back against them. The music is just amazing as the journey of his test of faith is told for 3 hours, yes is a long movie but worth it all.
More relevant today than ever.

Just watched it for the first time this week. Excellent movie. Beautiful music, amazing scenery, and a powerful story.
They should make more movies like this,about time the world realize not all of Germany agreed with Hitler during the last world war
You should learn real history….. it will change your life. Good luck!
The setting is particularly interesting because he was in this grand landscape with huge towering mountains, most would feel small and unimportant, and yet he understood the weight of his choices and actions, and he had chosen to do what’s right and kind🤍 stunning film
I think it's the best of TM. But his "The New World" is also amazing. If you like this movie, try that too. Also very poetic, with the best music of Hans Zimmer on top, "The thin red line". But war movie.
Some may find it boring or too long. But this is what the best filmmakers do, they lull you into the film by drawings scenes out and including ones that contain very little action or motion. It almost makes us feel like we’re there between the scenes and that we’re given a more intimate look in someone’s life. I believe this is a beautifully shot, tragically written, and very under appreciated film. The relevance this story has today goes so unnoticed. Beyond grateful that films like this are made, though few and far between. More importantly, I’m grateful there is an audience to receive it

One of the most beautiful stories and films I have ever seen in my life...
This movie touched me in so many ways! I didn't realize there were more then just the Jews that were put to death. What faith and belief this man had under the most devastating conditions. His love for God made him realize he could not be part of the evil the Nazi's were. He gave up his life and family. Truly he will be great in heaven. His wife also gave up alot and knew he was right. There was a part of me that was saying go home to your wife and kids but the other part of me knew his love for God had to come first. This true story was very touching.
Terrance malick, my favorite director. Love his movies
