G!
Who has seen the philosopher
And encountered his art?
What could be made of these
Sublime images of nature?
What meaning is there in the
Contemplative, soul-searching
Voice-overs? Why do plot
Lack significance in this one
Man's film, but is indispensable
In the works of other directors?
How is visual beauty the center-
Piece of everything? Where does
The transcendence originate?
Why has no other filmmaker
Attempted to evoke the
Muted romanticism of Badlands,
The haunting yet whimsical
Tragedy of Days of Heaven,
The solemn meditation of
The Thin Red Line, the
Intangible profundity of
The Tree of Life? Who has
Seen the New World; who
Has been To the Wonder?
While you and I toil in
Banality, what new visions
Greater than man's under-
Standing does the elusive
Philosopher dream of to
Show to us next?
