Malick is The Man, all right, a genius at what he does. As you say, he isn't for everyone. The kiddies with their kiddie tastes and their kiddie understandings might as well stay away. Those who are ready for an immersion in poetry on the screen, you came to the right place.

I guess that's why they make both meat and potatos, and sweet candy.

So people who aren't into the same stuff you're into are intellectually inferior?? I can't stand Malick's movies and have a doctorate in engineering.
I find them too long,drawn out and mind-numbingly stupor-inducing.

I both agree and disagree with Lucca. Dis-liking Malick's work doesn't make one intellectually inferior. Malick is an artist. Personally, I love his work ever since I saw "Badlands" and "Days of Heaven". But it isn't for everybody. Some people like Vermeer, some like Picasso. Some like French cuisine, others like Spanish.
