    • Quotes

      Closing Title Card: ...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

    • Crazy credits
      The title card at the end of the picture comes from the final sentence of George Eliot's "Middlemarch".

    Malick at his best. The actors, some of them well known in the German speaking world, shift between English end German. I did not believe this could work, but it does. Cinematic poetry, powerful. a film worth 3 hours.
