Malick is an artist that enriches you with emotion and feelings rather than using a concrete story that tell you what's going on. He allows you to let your own emotions in. I have enjoyed ever film he's made.

"THE TREE OF LIFE" DOGMA (by Terrence Malick and Emmanuel Lubezki) - Shoot in available natural light. - Do not underexpose the negative. Keep true blacks. - Preserve the latitude of the image. - Seek maximum resolution and fine grain. - Seek depth with deep focus and stop: "Compose in depth." - Shoot in backlight for continuity and depth. - Use negative fill to avoid light sandwiches (even sources on both sides) - Shoot in crosslight only after dawn or before dusk; never front light. - Avoid lens flares. - Avoid white and primary colors in frame. - Shoot with short focal length, hard lenses. - No filters, except Polarizer. - In the eye of the hurricane, shoot with steady handheld or Steadicam. - Z-axis moves instead of pans and tilts. - No zooming. - Do some static tripod shots "in midst of our haste" - Accept the exception to the dogma (a.k.a Article E) - Article E however does not apply underexposure of the negative.

Just as the last twenty years of Welles' life was an immense cultural disaster, Malick's inactivity between 'Days of Heaven' and 'The Thin Red Line' will, I believe, come to be regarded as a tragedy of unimaginable proportions for the cinema. Everybody who values the cinema should work towards ensuring that he can remain creatively active for the rest of his life. I have now seen 'The Tree of Life' six times and it must surely count as the finest work of the last thirty years. As to interviews... much better to see and re-see the works. Filmmakers are not always the best critics or explainers of their own work.

Scratch what I wrote below, he's the greatest artist in the world. (just saw "Tree of Life" for my third time)

After seeing "The Tree of Life", I'm now convinced he is the greatest filmmaker alive.

"He is also said to be such a fan of Zoolander, the 2001 send-up of the fashion world, that colleagues say he watches it regularly and likes to quote it. Ben Stiller, the star of the film, once dressed up in character and recorded him a special birthday video message." http://tinyurl.com/3wdsn7c

I love how the biography states that the thin red line was not a long awaited masterpiece, did they even watch the film?

There's a Terrence Malick collection at a local DVD store - his first 4 films for £10... best DVD offer of all time?
