That annoying whispered narration

"You just didn't get it. Try watching Transformers instead, duh"
....just kidding, the whispering was a bit overdramatic. I needed coffee to view this film. Imagery was spectacular, but an odd mix of "2001" & Science channel, wrapped around a depressing plot. Confusing to say the least, like Malick couldn't commit to one film or the other.
Someone's brother dies ... then cut to a 30 minute nature show, with dinosaurs ... then more dopey and clinical acted scenes, etc. To be kind, I'd call it "daring".

I would not call it a whisper. Just low key.

It's that man again!!

I understood most of it. I'd say it's one of the few films of his where I didn't have much trouble understanding the narration. That being said, I'd like to see him have more of a variance in narration itself. Add some character, ect.

I have ears that work correctly so I understood everything. I'm sorry for your hearing condition.

"There are too many of them. Can't kill the world."

I find it kinda funny that for the copy of the move I had, at the beginning it said something like: "the filmmakers recommend you turn the volume up a bit", just made me chuckle a bit. The soothing narration works really well within the film overall.

Raging Bull = Best movie

"Hushed tones" imply deep, life changing meanings. You didn't know this??
