Rainy ugly day... Good day for a movie!
Movie# 55 Badlands 1973
Wow I was bowled over by Terrance Malicks early film "Badlands" Sheen and Spacek shine in this film. Both have a odd and compelling chemistry that and its hard to deny Martin Sheens star power. The cinematography is stunning. I cant stress how beautifully this film is shot and it really absorbs the audience to where you feel like your right there with the hell bent couple, you might have to wipe the sweat off in the hot Montana day. What I found interesting is that the films light tone and sometimes lofty music cues are in direct contrast to the mayhem. Its jarring as you dont expect it. I`m really glad i`ve finally seen this movie and think everyone should.
