The New World was my 4th selection for CG&FN this term. Terrence Malick is visually one of my favorite filmmakers and The New World captures a sense of emotion which I feel is often lacking in mainstream film. It is also a showcase for the power of physical sets and real world settings, something I think we forget in the digital media industry. The New World might be considered a classic like some of the other films this term, but it is certainly worth a viewing for the cinematography alone.
