But that would be hardly appropriate for his kids. He makes films for his kids now.
Interstellar uses the words "fuck" "shit" "asshole" and shows a dead body floating in water. He said he made a film he would want his kids to see.Cop 223 wrote:But that would be hardly appropriate for his kids. He makes films for his kids now.
What kind of shit are you allowing your kids to watch, Chris?

That's not language suitable for a "kid's film".Allstar wrote:Wow!ChristNolan wrote:Interstellar uses the words "fuck" "shit" "asshole" and shows a dead body floating in water.Cop 223 wrote:But that would be hardly appropriate for his kids. He makes films for his kids now.

Lol Interstellar is easily his most Friendly-family movie, if the plot was straightforward, I'd have no problems showing this to six years oldChristNolan wrote:Interstellar uses the words "fuck" "shit" "asshole" and shows a dead body floating in water.

Can't wait to hear Bacon's thoughts on this!
I only just watched the Trailer. Never thought Malick would go into erotic, kinky and party boy territory. Glad to see Jason Clarke, Imogene Poots and Antonio Banderas are in the film, and looks like a great role for Bale. The cinematography looks weird though, and looks like an over-use of POV shots; looks too digital.
‘Knight of Cups’ Producers: Malick’s Film Is A “Stream Of Consciousness,” Antonio Banderas Doesn't Know Who He Plays
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/ ... s-20150131"Terrence Malick's ‘To The Wonder” "makes 'Tree of Life' look like 'Transformers,'" Ben Affleck said in 2012, just a few weeks before the film was unveiled to audiences for the first time ever in Venice. Some audiences loved it, but not everyone was impressed. One thing we can probably all agree on, Affleck’s comments, while probably well-intentioned were a bit ridiculous, even meaningless (especially given that he kind of backtracked and sort of suggested the “half-crazy” experience was a bit frustrating).
Producers and billionaire scions Min Kao and Alex Walton, two of the key financiers on the film gave a few more details about the film in an interview with THR. We know the movie is about excess in Hollywood, but Kao filled in a few more details. “Christian Bale plays Rick, who is a screenwriter and filmmaker living in California,” he said. “From the outside, it looks like he has everything. Inside, he's empty in a lot of ways, and this is his journey of figuring out a way to fill the void.”
Malick’s long-time editor suggested in 2013 that “Knight Of Cup” would be less experimental and less dialogue-free than “To The Wonder,” but the first trailer for the film looked just a lyrical and rather similar. Maybe it is?
Kao says the movie is a “stream-of-consciousness film” and one that he was “he was very frustrated by.” What does the latter part mean? Well, the THR journos asked why the film took so long to make (“Knight of Cups” started shooting in 2012). “It's all about calibrating expectations,” Kao said. “He was working on a stream-of-consciousness film that he was very frustrated by. So, very early on, I threw out the idea that he was going to deliver the film on time. What I did do was encourage Terry to ask for help. His process is to shoulder most of the load and feel very protective about what he's doing.”
How long ago was the film shot? Christian Bale was dealing with the aftermath from “The Dark Knight Rises” shooting. “It was a tough time for [Bale] because [The Dark Knight Rises] was going on and the whole Aurora, Colo. [shooting] thing,” Kao said. “You could see it really frayed him. And he's a total method actor, too. So it's a challenge for him. It's not easy to show up and stare off into the sky for five or six hours of the day.”
Staring off into he sky? That sounds like Malick alright. As for some of the other actors in the film? Antonio Banderas recently told Collider he’s not sure if he’s playing himself in the film or what. “I arrived to the set and basically what [Malick] said to me, ‘Antonio, we didn’t send you a script because we don’t have a script and so this monologue that I gave you,’ which literally didn’t make sense whatsoever, ‘I’m gonna shoot it in nine different locations and I’m gonna just improvise with you, and I’m gonna send you something that I call torpedoes.’ And these torpedoes, they were people that came in the middle of the monologue and started improvising with me. He sent me a beautiful woman, he sent me an old lady, he sent me a bunch of three guys that are rappers. I ended up in a pool with three ladies with my tuxedo.”
Asked whether he read the monologues as himself or the character Banderas said, “I don’t know, actually. I don’t know. But I am very curious to see what this genius of movies did.” We’ll know more soon. “Knight of Cups” makes it world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in February.
