Has anyone seen The New World? Though as a writer, i'm willing to cut
Hollywood a lot of slack about inventing stuff for a better story, I can't imagine
why Malick did some of the things he did-- from the truly bizarre emptiness of
Native American rituals to the virtual absence of wild-life anywhere around the
landscape to the sweet english graveyard in which Pocahontas is buried....all
of it seems silly and flat and incredibly long. others?
