Ain't Them Bodies Saints .. Terrence Malick lens flare and sunset wash 'magic-hour' quiet naturalism sunlight

Ain't Them Bodies Saints - wkp /expiring netflix 10/18/18 (one week fr today thur 10/11 ie ~ Wed last day watch) //    the [film's beauty] is not just in the incredible cinematography ... but in the way the film holds back information, blindsiding you with tiny revelations."  <<  d n read whole plot sum unless d n end up watching   


Ain't Them Bodies Saints -  #critical reception  /ah ha yes the opening scene made me think of Malick ~ espclly one th I cld not get into, actually in a field? ben affleck? french woman y! To The Wonder (was on ntflx I think) // and yes  srch page  14 hits Malick :     Critics drew extensive comparisons to the work of Terrence Malick     looks derivative, with the familiar lens flare and sunset wash. But if it is a homage, this is an intelligent and accomplished one, a conscientious matching-up of style and substance.                        is no Malick homage. far from dwelling on transcendence, as Malick does, Lowery's film has a solid, grounded storyline, rooted in crime thrillers and film noir tradition.        the comparisons to Terrence Malick are obvious and many—and a well-deserved compliment—   the setting of 1970s Texas, the impressionistic wisps of memory, the quiet naturalism of warm sunlight and the dusky magic-hour melancholy—they're all there, all those signatures that are reminiscent of the master filmmaker.       / negative:  upstart David Lowery mimics the mythic methodology of his revered elder, drowning the sparse tale of an on-the-run convict and his lonely baby's mama in lots of dreamy, magic-hour atmosphere.’  / ~ y but I may not mind

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levon_Helm#LegacyLevon Helm - Wkp / Springsteen: his voice and his drumming so incredibly personal * .. one of greatest greatest voices in ctry, rock, ... // Springsteen called Helm "one of the greatest, greatest voices in country, rockabilly and rock 'n' roll ... staggering ... while playing the drums. Both his voice and his drumming were so incredibly personal. He had a feel on the drums that comes out of certain place in the past and you can't replicate it."
George Harrison said that while writing his 1970 song "All Things Must Pass", he imagined Levon Helm singing it.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Danko#Legacy
 Rick Danko - Wkp |   * Danko w Levon Helm formed one finest rhythm sxns .. a partnership, subtle intense rhythmic conversatn //in full://
On the Irishtimes.com blogsite, Laurence Mackin wrote that Together with bass player Rick Danko, [Levon] Helm formed one of the finest rhythm sections to ever put a groove to a beat, and a partnership that formed the backbone of The Band.
In Danko, he had the perfect complementary player, one of the finest bassists and one of the gentlest souls.  His music was subtle, his instinct for just the right note unwavering – he could play one beat in four bars, but lord could he make it count.
Their subtle, intense rhythmic conversation brought shape and distinction to the Band's music – it gave it heart and soul.[30]

The Band imo certainly the best //!// white  /cool/  band this cntry ever produced //!! wow.//  az- Ain't In It For My Health: A Film About Levon Helm
-Valuable, if not so easy to watch.  It is a sobering unblinking look at illness, dying, perseverance and a man in some ways trying to come to terms with the vagaries of existence.   
At one time the Band was one of the most popular Rock & Roll groups in the country, and imo certainly the best white band this country (or Canada) ever produced.
They must have made untold millions.
[But//] Here we come upon Levon whose medical expenses have driven him to the brink of home foreclosure, and one can't help but wonder how the hell that happened?   Well it apparently is all in the song publishing rights and Robbie Robertson got most of those. Levon is justifiably bitter.
This is not how I'd choose to remember Levon Helm as a sick, suffering albeit game, septuagenarian /y. I tht th.  even nice bit ytube him singing, sad, not so m re the bitterness ok w seeing th maybe,  but just age.  part of wh so great in my clips fr The Last Waltz  is ~ youth ?  so I might want keep that foremost in mind.  maybe see just bit of this.//
As a documentary I'd have to give it high marks.
