Before tonight, I had seen no Terrence Malick films. Now I have - specifically, The Tree of Life - and not only does it live up to its reputation as the best film of the 2010s so far, but presently it is influential to my plans.
None of his other notable films - Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line and The New World - are as experimental, but they are also very acclaimed. So I've got an idea: Write my script and sell it to him.
He's never directed something he hasn't written, but if, at almost 69, he is still capable of making such a work of genius as The Tree of Life, I have high hopes IF - and that's a very big IF - he is interested.
