I was skeptical about this film and avoided it for over 20 years because I had and have such a blind spot for Sally Field. But I finally checked this out from...
Thanks Tuan! I too have avoided this film, forever. And I've lived in Texas for 35 years now (still think of myself as a Virginian). Didn't care to see it for...

Tuan: Figured it out--click on "Tomato Picker" in the dark orange band at the bottom of the main RT page. You'll be able to search by various criteria,...

... Funny. I asked him this exact same question, at the time. (I was similarley enraged by his albeit-positive review of TTRL.) He never replied to me. A ...
Tuan: You're welcome. Just did a search of 100% rated foreign films, and guess what quasi-Malick-related name came up? *Sansho the Bailiff*, the 1954 Japanese...
Angela, I think I posted this before. It does a great job of showing the link between Sansho (the movie) and Malick's films. Just keep scrolling down. If this...

The digital parakeet is in fact a not alone. There are two digital parakeets at 30 minutes and about 30 secons into the movie (that's the long version; from...
Hi, just wondered whether there exists a downloadable full script/screen-play for TTRL including (most importantly for me) the voice-overs. I am most...
... There are scripts for TTRL floating out there, but they don't include the voiceovers, since Malick added those during editing, at the last minute. For that...
