Terrence Malick's latest film looks beautiful and sad, surprising absolutely no one

Terrence Malick's makes haunting, sad, beautiful films. Also, they are weird. I swear, I've seen The Thin Red Line 50 times and I'm still not entirely sure what the hell it's all about. Given the subject matter, I'm hoping that we all have better luck with Malick's latest work A Hidden Life, given its subject matter.

A Hidden Life is based on the true life story of Franz Jigerstitter, an Austrian farmer who, because of his deep religious conviction and a dire need to not be a bag of murdering, racist pig shit, refused to fight for Germany during World War II. He was executed for standing up to the Nazi's hateful bullshit-because that's what fascists do once they're in power and you disagree with them.

Anyway, fingers crossed for this one. Let's hope it's better than Knight of Cups.
