this movie be quite simply one of the bad i have ever have the displeasure of endure . with the possible exception of the cinematography and this film have no redeeming quality . the arrogance of the director and cast that they might actually pass this movie off a deep be sicken . basically and in the three long hour of this film and only about twenty minute of dialogue be speak represent hardly enough to offer any hope of character development for the movie endless cast leading men . another third of the movie be occupy by long pause voice over with poetic inner monologue which sound like it be write by an over ambitous ( and overly confident ) college film major . ( e. g. the closer you get to caesar and the more you fear . ) and a for the critical praise of the film and i be baffle while i guess terrence mallick should be congratulate for his modern day version of the emperor new clothes .
