Quintus 5,399 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I know exactly what you mean. Unless it's a throwaway entertainment flick like Thor, I HATE having to share the cinema with the chav scum and their noises.Mind you, I'd have thought the sort of folk who go to see Tree of Life will be like-minded, so I'll take my chances.

Malick is very particular about his marriage of music and sound. He uses classical music to edit to, and that's why he mostly keeps those pieces in the the final cut. Maurizio, have you not heard the album? If no, then how can you be sure there were only two pieces by Desplat in the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I saw this film a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it, however there is no need for a 6 hour version. The film is fine the way it is and perfectly conveys itself within its current parameters.Anything longer would be repetitious and unnecessary, unless there was some major plot point that was excised that would add to the overall theme or change the actual telling of the film.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Yes, six hours would be excessive. While I liked the film a lot, I would not even take the time to watch a cut that long. The film began to test my patience as a two hour film. Jeez, if it was six... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 All of Malick's films usually start at around 6 hours in length. Takes him years to edit them down.I don't think we'll see the version being discussed here, but I'm expecting something around 3 hours when the Blu comes out. There was, what looked liked, a great scene in the trailer, that was absent from the final cut. The brother's ear being burned was never clearly explained. I believe mini Sean Penn set fire to something (shown in the trailer) and burned his brother. In the final cut, the scene was cut down to literally a single frame.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 The film is out on Blu today. I watched it earlier tonight, and was completely entranced.There was a wealth of information and detail that I picked up that went over my head upon my theatrical viewing. Unfortunately there are no special features aside from a 30-minute featurette, which has Nolan, Fincher, and most of the cast and crew discussing their experience. Even squeezed Desplat in at the end for a few words.The Lacrimosa sequence is, simply put, one of the greatest things I've ever seen. The film opens with you to turn your volume all the way up just like with The Thin Red Line. Gotta love Malick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film opens with you to turn your volume all the way up just like with The Thin Red Line. Gotta love Malick.When we see for the first time planets casting shadows around the very young stars I was deeply moved.I also liked the beginning of the sequence with the mother wondering where was God, and suddenly BLAM.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I highly recommend anyone who has seen the film to check out the making of featurette. The way they filmed some of those space sequences is mind-boggling. The kids never read the script and their wardrobe was whatever they happened to be wearing that day. Their audition tapes were pretty much just to talk to Jessica Chastain randomly while being filmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a marvelously looking film with some interesting ideas.KarolThere's very little need, but the missing material was noticeable to me and I think its inclusion will flesh it out much better. Based on the description that Jay posted, it seems like he'll add in the fire scene, or what he refers to as the "loss of innocence." I said this back when the film came out, but the scene is in the trailer and in the theatrical cut it was cut down to a single shot.Now if only PTA would but back those missing scenes in The Master. That one doesn't feel complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
