Days of Heaven 9/10
A great, beautiful film. Though, whenever I watch a Terrence Malick film, I find myself wondering "What was the point of that?"
I'm not sure what you mean. What's the point of most films? To witness some moments in the lives of interesting characters. To feel transported to another time or place.
At the risk of sounding overly poetic, the point is to see a romance blossom and come to ruin, and to follow a young girl as she experiences and comments on what it is to be an itinerant laborer during the Great Depression. What more of a point should there be than that?
