This is considered Texans the philosopher of American cinema, and like almost all philosophers he can one go rather on my nerves. Who wants the films of Terrence Malick, born in 1943, to understand or even like, should bring certain mental conditions, best suited a tangible Depression. On the other hand people who feel in their lives and in the world quite at home, those who firmly stand with both feet on that ground, they are also called to the facts, are entirely unsuitable as Malick audience.

But as “Knight of Cups” begins: There are a garden, a child and a whispering voice that tells something about a knight and to look of a pearl that will search for the child or the. Order and self-commissioning fall into this age along on the happiest way. Sometime forgotten most of this job and are real estate agent or a screenwriter in Hollywood as Rick. Rick is the main character

In addition to play Bale Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman

Christian Bale plays Rick. He got no script, only a description of his character. This is not because that Malick is unable to write screenplays, on the contrary, he once financed by revising screenplays film school, but had to make the experience that often none of its amendments were adopted. One could also speak of an exemplary exercise in futility, maybe he’s about the same time Heidegger’s writing “The Essence of Reasons” translated. No matter how, when Malick there are no scripts. No handrails, nothing to hold. Apparently Hollywood actors like the by-play Bale Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman, and these are only two women who were important in Ricks life

Most people live with such an amazing routine that heavy falls to believe they live for the first time, and the pearl you forgot at the end of her childhood at the latest, but at some point is Rick fallen out of this routine. And now he wonders: What am I doing here anyway? In my life, right here in LA and still on earth? Duration of the question 118 minutes. Answer: no. Of course not. On this point, Malick is more sincere than all religions.

When Rick talks to his clients, these dialogues sound like behind glass. They come from a world that does not concern him (more). Clear contrast remains the whispering voice. It is the statement instance of Ricks innermost thoughts, about the realization that the true condemnation was to consist of nothing but debris, which never joined. Rick, this imprisoned in his body and the world consciousness spark that drives through his alien to him become life: He sees the women he loved, he sees his city, the transitions are arbitrary, which for hard-soft cuts! Malick is one of the directors who know the privilege to be alive, not least heard of being able to see with the eye of God. We do not know what Malick’s father might have said. He was an employee of a Texas oil company. Everyone knows what the point is to look for oil, but a pearl
