Tom: I pondered your question. I thought Paul's post #5747 did a good job of answering this question. Here's the relevant part: Back to the smoking hearth....
Wow. I was getting goose-bumps reading that. I'm a huge Joe Campbell fan as well. So she means to say that by becoming a mother and letting go of Smith, she...
Hi everyone: I've seen *Deadhead Miles* as of yesterday--Terrence Malick's first Hollywood produced script. Thought I'd give my general impressions. This isn't...
The "mother" motif starts at the very beginning of the film and is mentioned regularly enough (in conjunction with the occasional glimpse of her spirit mother)...
Paul, It's a shame we don't have much of anything posted by anyone for a while and then we have this curious (and I use the word "curious" out of courtesy, as...

Hello all, Where is everyone? Collective sigh after finishing the semester? Summer vacation? Agape and Andrew are writing away I suppose. Hey, I didn't care...

Angela, This sounds like lots of fun. And your review is great, btw. I just checked out Deadhead Miles at the IMDB, and your review would bring much added...
<<As Oscar indignantly jabs the "Send" button, distant tom-toms start a rhythmic, portentious thump, awaiting Paul's reply...>> And here I was about to say I...
Hello again all, Once again, a slow start on Saturday chores due to thinking about Malick and his disciples. Why do I get so angry at Paul? It's a question I...

Hi: I told myself I was going to stay quiet this weekend...but I was reading some old Malick board posts and missing the 280-a-month rate we had going in...
Angela, I have to chime in here with Agape. You did a great job with your review. In my muddled mind, I've confused Deadhead Miles for years with another 70's...

... I do not know the origins of the term "left-turn", but the left-right political designation dates back to (as I recall) a little before the French...
The only thing I can imagine is decidedly American in origin. Here, left hand turns are the ones fraught with peril, as you may have to deal with oncoming...

Agape: There you are! If you didn't get my personal message to your yahoo address, I wanted to tell you I finally saw *Dutch Light* and found it delightful...
Thanks, Bilge! I'll bet most politicians here in American don't know that! By the way, did you say you're originally from Turkey? Where are you living now? ...
PS - And this is what set me off and into the original "smoking hearth" conflict. I said then, somewhat jokingly, that "sometimes a smoking hearth is just a...

Angela, Spookily or not, we both liked most the same thing about Dutch light, the repeated shot of the road in different light each time. I told Agape the same...

O: Makes sense. If you think of all the expressions involving left, there's definitely a sense that left is more negative than right, which I don't think is...
... To be fair, most politicians anywhere probably don't know that (except maybe in France, I guess). As for me, I am Turkish, but I've been living in the US...
Finally saw the Malick produced The Beautiful Country last night and loved it. Went to imdb.com to look for more on the film's writer, Sabina Murray....

Stay tuned for more glib statements, overtly strong-armed symbolism and mythology. This conversation I am getting fed to me is ridiculous. ... To be fair, most...
Paul, On the "strength" of your latest responses, I rest my case. I had a short story workshop with this guy once. For the un-initiated, the workshop format is...

First off, I am a "real" writer, published at that. But that is besides the point . . . I am going through the film frame-by-frame for my own pure edification....
Hello: As one of the longer-standing members here, I have to say the bad vibe that's going on with Paul and Oscar is the same kind of vibe I recognized earlier...
ok you win --- I am clueless,-- I will never intellectualize a Malick film by interpreting allusion. The oven, a smoke, light, darkness, framed windows, none...
