Heidegger’s concept is quite like Kierkegaard’s “sphere of existence” and Wittgenstein’s “form of life,” and, as with them, it enters his inquiry only at its limits, when a problem moves out of his depth, or jurisdiction. But for Terrence Malick, "challenge" is a progressive verb. As observed, the cinema also provides us with representations of the world, and in this it importantly resembles metaphysics. Yet this is not to say that the films simply speak for themselves. In 1969, Malick published the authoritative translation of Heidegger’s The Essence of Reasons, just as he was abandoning a doctorate at Harvard on Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and Wittgenstein. Where Heidegger talks about “world” he will often appear to be talking about a pervasive interpretation or point of view which we bring to the things of the world.

But the character of Malick’s philosophical investigation into the cinema became clear only with the 1973 release of his debut feature Badlands and then, five years later, Days of Heaven, a stunning, evocative portrait of the beauty and fragility of earthly existence.

In 1968, he taught philosophy as a lecturer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but didn’t quite like the experience. But there is little sense in speaking of “a point of view” here since precisely what Heidegger wants to indicate with the concept is that none other is possible. One of the most praised aspects of his films are the quality of its cinematography. Cavell’s influences include Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Kierkegaard, Thoreau and Emerson.

The structures of presence and absence, which have long provided the contours of metaphysical thinking, and which are recreated or re-enacted through the technology of the cinema, have also functioned to distance human beings from a world which is rendered conceptually as an idea or as an image.

Beyond such inherent reflexivity, however, in order for a film to achieve the status of art, to put the film image’s reflexive character to some purpose, the film-maker must endeavour to explore the significance of the distance between the thing seen and the thing itself, between the object and its realisation as idea or image.

Some will think Terrence Malick’s movies as groundbreaking, insightful, and moving pieces of work, whilst others may believe they are pretentious, laborious, and unengaging. The core of Cavell’s view is that there is a connection between metaphysical and cinematic representation. [5] In The Thin Red Line we find a similar realisation, a visual investigation of the human situation, of our living in a world which it is beyond our capacity fully to conceive, but for which conception we have devised a complex arsenal of techniques, an arsenal, given that this is also a war picture, with which literally to dominate this world.

Yet, given that his first career was as a philosopher, the clues towards meaning in Malick’s films are readily available, while the supposed obscurities of his films may be illuminated by placing them within a specific philosophical tradition. The question for us is just how Malick puts identifiable philosophical themes into play in the film and how he raises fundamental questions about cinema, images and representation through the liberties he in fact takes with this source material. While for Whalen this is the source of Malick’s failure, for us it is precisely Malick’s use of such material – the popular formats of the war novel and the combat film – for philosophical ends that makes his film unique and worthy of careful consideration.
