Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

drednm Visually stunning minimalist story about love and deception in the Texas panhandle in 1916/17. Terence Malick's film combines the gorgeous cinematography of Nestor Almendros and Haskell Wexler and a terrific film score to tell a sketchy story that, despite a lot of dialog and backstory, is quite moving.Billy (Richard Gere) and his common-law wife Abby (Brooke Adams), who poses as his sister, leave Chicago and head west with Billy's real sister, Linda (Linda Manz). They travel the great plains and come to a ranch where migrant workers are needed to harvest the thousands of acres of wheat. The farm is owned by a lonely and dying man (Sam Shepard).Although the farmer has an eye for Abby, the foreman (Robert Wilke) thinks there's something suspicious bout Abby's relationship with Billy. With the crop in and a huge fortune made by the farmer, he invites Abby to "stay over" through the winter. She agrees if Billy and Linda can stay as well. The group spends an idyllic six months, although after the farmer marries Abby, Billy starts to get more and more jealous.Of course they know the farmer is dying, but Billy's plan to marry off Abby and eventually get the farmer's money, seems to hurt no one. But the farmer doesn't seem to be dying. Their Eden is eventually fouled by the rising jealousy each man feels for the other.Brilliant character study has minimal dialog. It's not needed. What we have then is a stunning assemblage of visuals that look painterly in their composition and use of color. The music and sound effects (those gigantic tractors!) punctuate the story and the total silence of the landscape.This is pure cinema. It harkens back to the silent era by not relying on dialog to tell the story. There is a running commentary by Manz who tells her side of the story from a child's point of view. Camille Saint-Saëns' "Aquarium" is the theme played over the opening credits.Excellent performances by the four stars. This one is best seen on a big screen. Not to be missed.

janmanuel2 I can't believe the high scores for this movie. It was on my cable channel and had high 90's on two review scores so I recorded it. The narrator has the most annoying voice and accent and her voice does not project to the audience at all. The old man who worked for the farmer was the best actor. The photography was beautiful. Everything else was mediocre at best. It just dragged along to an abysmal ending. I cannot believe people are comparing this to movies like Casa Blanca. This is just average. The whole premise could have been developed into a great movie. I guess I don't like this director's style.

calorne A frustrating watch. The senior farm manager was the only character who seemed to have some spark about him. The narration appeared to be trying to emulate a feeling of To Kill a Mockingbird, but had nothing of the charm and was, at times, inane. The cinematography was attractive albeit disjointed. The film could, I believe, best be enjoyed by editing out the scenes featuring characters, turning down the audio and playing some pleasant music to accompany the nature and scenery footage. This could be very suitable for a doctor's waiting room for example.

heffman-43578 I saw this movie on my birthday in 2014, and I'll say, it was probably one of the best movies I have ever seen. I was wanting to watch it for a while, because I had heard that it was one of the most beautifully shot films ever made. I saw many pictures of it online, but of course, nothing can compare to actually watching it.When they say this movie is one of the most beautifully shot in history, they're not lying. There are so many scenes in the movie that are just plain gorgeous, that the story doesn't even matter.If you are looking for a movie to just sit back and admire they beauty of the cinematography, then Days of Heaven is the perfect movie for you.
