What set me looking for this film was this comment by an IMDB user
"Then Malick, in a moment of genius, allied the four main characters to the four elements; Earth, Air, Fire & Water. Bill is Fire - he is seen at first in front of the furnaces of a foundry where he works. We can see his temper is volatile. Abby is water - in the very first shot she is scavenging(?) by a stream and she is seen against the backdrop of the river. Linda is Earth - In her narration she says that she is close to the "Oith". The Farmer is Air - constantly tinkering with his weather vane, and his fields of wheat are often seen waving in the wind."
This film is a masterpiece. It shows the life of migrant workers in the cowboy American days through the eyes of a 13 yr old. The plot is a simple love triangle....but perhaps the best ever on celluloid...The cinematography and the wonderful score by Ennio Morricone make the dialogues redundant....you simply get mesmerized by this film...It like gazing over a landscape while a genius plays scores for you....With touching characters and realistic acting...you oughtta love this film...but let me remind you that this film is slow so you might not enjoy it unless u hv patience....
Overall 9/10
Acting 8/10
Cinematography 9.5/10
music 9.5/10
