I loved it, but I hated it.

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2017)

The New World (2005)
Painfully slow mess,
Historical liberties,
Plot with no focus.
I prefer Meeko and Flit
With some Colors of the Wind.
No, Malick's art piece,
To be felt rather than watched.
Textured montages,
With sweet soothing voice-overs
Connecting man and nature.
(Somonka is a form of poetry that is essentially two tanka poems, the second stanza a response to the first. Each stanza follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. Traditionally, each is a love letter. This form usually demands two authors, but it is possible to have a poet take on two personas. My somonka will be a love/hate letter to a film?)
