My Review-
I have only seen clips of this movie before in my film classes, because of how well it was made; due to it being made with all natural light and because of that it made a movie that was kind of boring even better. I think that's what saved the movie, the way it was filmed and not the acting, the acting in the movie was okay I also think its because I really do not like Richard Gere a lot of the time in the movies that he comes out with and everyone else in the movie seemed like they were bored or something. While at times I found myself to be bored with the movie I also still found myself in aw at how it was filmed and how each shot of the movie was somehow significant to what was going on in those scenes or what was about to happen later one. The narration by Manz helped out a lot in some parts of the movie until the ending. For some reason I cannot see why this movie has been acclaimed more than Badlands which is my favorite film from Malick, I find it to be a lot better than this one, maybe because the story of this one was like whatever for long periods of time and I thought Sam Shepard could have done a better job than he did. Other than that I just liked how it was visually shot and how they used natural lighting which was pretty damn cool.
