This film had so much potential with the cast and ideas for the plot. It just went overboard with the pretentiousness, whispering, and certain plot points. Its really a shame, I just see the potential for a much better film with not all that much changed.
I think a lot of people would agree with you, fintan and Skibbity... I usually don't love the plots of Malick movies the way I love the plots of other movies. Generally Malick's are quite abstract. Not much there. But some of the performances are second to none, and in this case Fassbender scares the hell out of me
@@CreatorsMZ Fassbender is amazing in this movie. I just think they went too abstract for a really cool concept. I really did like your analysis of Cook by the way. I will sub for more of your content.
@@CreatorsMZ Completely agree, Fassbenders perfomance was what kept me watching. I remember watching a video on here years ago with a bunch of celebrities, and Christopher Plummer was talking about how he wouldn’t work with Malick anymore. He basically said Malick desperately needs a writer but refuses, and so his scripts are always overly pretentious and hurt the films. That’s definitely the same feeling I have, not that he cant write he just isnt usually the best fit to write for his films and they leave the actors with endless dialogue they need to humanize and make sound real. Fassbender did about as good as one could do with the dialogue, but this film could have been great with “better” writing. At least thats my opinion.

So many beautiful shots of Austin and Central Texas!

Hard agree. I made it about an hour in, and I had to stop watching.

Pretentious to say at least. But I feel the film's visual group would do miracles with Ellis's Glamorama into a film.
