The New World is a bloody gorgeous movie. I have a strange urge to go frolic in the woods with a scruffy, handsome man.

Huh.

Is it really? I was wondering about that film. I've heard such mixed stuff. I do love me some Christian Bale though. And I saw the girl on Ellen, she was impressive. If only I had a way of getting to a movie theater around here!

It is, really. It's also a good movie, really...it almost managed to shut up the little voice in my head that kept chanting *historically innacurate historically innacurate* through all of the relationship scenes.

I'm not really bothered by historical innaccuracy...well, unless I'm really passionate about the subject...or I don't realize it's inaccurate and then go blabbing only to learn I know nothing. But this story has never been told correctly! And really, can it be farther off than the Disney version?

It's still not further off than the Disney production, no -- I mean, Terrence Malick seems like he'd be a talking-animals kind of director, right? :)

Honestly, I have to say my recommendation is even stronger two weeks later. It's definitely one of the most beautiful movies to come out this year, and I just keep thinking about it. And I want to see it again.

(No worries! Any time I hear from you, it's a good day. :) )
