Which Cup Is Your Favorite?

Terrence Malick is an amazing director. After the premiere of his latest movie last year, in Berlin, many thought he was crazy, and many left the hall with bewilderment on their faces. At a press conference after the show hall was packed and people wanted to ask about what they saw, but Malick himself was absent in the conference, and the actors were limited of stories and jokes to filming. In fact, it is barely perceptible magic of cinema. Malick is not in contact with the press not because he has a phobia. Most likely that an attempt to explain a picture can distort its work, belittling its dignity.

The essence of the movie

Dialogues in the "Knight of Cups" present in minimum. They are pronounced unimportantly for the characters, as if the director puts the symbol of equality between them and their audience. He puts the lost soul of man, his emotions, and situation that has a direct impact on him at the center. We know that hero of Bale ("Batman," "The Machinist") is a screenwriter, but in fact, there is no matter. He is, what is much more important, a man without house. Losing the house is like losing oneself. Here comes to the aid comparison to the first Fall, where God is the father, and the hero of Bale is Adam, who banished himself from the Garden of Eden. There is Eve. Here she has many faces that only give a plus to the motion picture. The most different actresses are playing a variety of characters, as it is cleaved into her component parts of a single woman mother. No one shall be taken away, no one can be accused of careless, perhaps a little uplift for Blanchett, Portman, and Palmer, and even only because of their role spelled out a little better.

The role of a female character

Woman of Malick is not a secondary character, but not even a central one. It is like a shadow of the protagonist, the concentration of the best that she can be. The shadow is observable, but Malick allows us to see her because he loves her and cannot conceal this love from the audience for whom it seems he really does not care. The director with the help of the brilliant operator named Lubezki, whose camera and shooting style has long deserved a place at the top of cinematic art, shuffles a deck of tarot cards as he wants. He does not go to a deal with the public, knowing that trying to please it lowered needs means to kill the subtle light that leads the creator the right path. Taking the statement that life is a continuous stream of events that succeed each other, and moments deposited in the memory, thereby generating our past and moving it all on the screen with the camera, limiting himself to the possibility of still chew, Malick brought himself to the forefront of modern cinematography, leaving many artists far behind.
