Movie Reviews of Days of Heaven
Movie Review: The most visually stunning movie of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie during it's original theatrical release in 1978 and was blown away. I declared it my favorite movie of all time, and in the 30 years since, no film has bumped it from this ranking. And I am an avid movie goer. Not wishing to spoil the magic of the original 70mm film, I refused to watch it on DVD. Then came the Criterion re-mastered DVD, HD-TV, surround sound... so I braved a re-viewing. While I can't say I experienced the film with equal awe and splendor, it non-the-less validated it's number 1 spot. Terrence Malick is peerless as a movie maker. Every frame is a work of art. The low-key story and dialogue harmonize perfectly with the visuals. The beauty of this film will quite literally take your breath away - those over 50 should have an AED nearby. I have goosebumps just thinking about it. Come on Criterion - release it on blu-ray!
Summary of Days of Heaven
Migrant lovers and a little sister con a rich wheat farmer in 1910s texas. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 05/23/2006 Starring: Richard Gere Brooke Adams Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Terrence MalickRichard Gere works in a Chicago steel mill at the turn of the century, but must flee the city after accidentally killing a man. Heading for the wheat fields of Texas, he packs up his girlfriend (Brooke Adams) and his younger sister (Linda Manz). Instead of a better life, they head straight into tragedy when a wealthy farmer (Sam Shepard) falls for Adams. Believing him to be dying and expecting to inherit a fortune, she agrees to marry him. Their plans change when Shepard fails to die and Gere takes matters into his own hands. Aesthetically flawless, this film about a romantic love triangle is diminished by the small scope of video. Originally shown in 70mm, it is an eye-catching period piece that won its cinematographer, N?stor Almendros, a 1978 Oscar. Texture and color are the unbilled characters in this tragic tale, and are just as important as the players. The story, sadly, fades somewhat when compared to the glory of the visuals. --Rochelle O'Gorman
