The Hidden Life. A true story about an Austrian farmer who refuses to fight for the Nazis under threat of death. Terrence Malick is such a great director, the way he uses the outdoors to permeate his movies. It is a sad movie, about a farmer standing against evil. He did nothing famous, did not change history but he refused to back down. A Life Hidden “The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Eliot, Middlemarch.
Where can this be seen now? I got to see Bil & Ted Face the Music at my first theater viewing in about 1/2 a year. I won't show the trailer as to avoid spoilers. I would only recommend it to fans of the series. I smiled a lot but did not laugh once. It's just a nice movie and you aren't already a fan , you may not get it.
Here is one of my favorite movies entitled "Aguirre, the Wrath of God." The movie is about psychopathic hubris. The story follows Spanish soldier Lope de Aguirre, who leads a group of conquistadors down the Amazon River searching of the "Great" City of Gold, El Dorado. I really like the ending when Aguirre finally gets his empire, and rules over his loving subjects--a happy ending! Aguirre plans to impregnate his own daughter to start a dynasty to rule El Dorado. Aguirre makes the fat nobleman Don Fernando de Guzmán the representative of King of Spain in the Amazon jungle (six times the size of Spain in Europe) after murdering the original commander Ursua in a coup. Guzman reminds me the most of Trump. Aguirre is the real leader. Aguirre, the Wrath of God. English version.
