So, the conversation continues.
Today I received a “ping back” (I don’t really know what that is) on one of my Terrence Malick posts — https://inaspaciousplace.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/a-religion-too-small-for-terrence-malick/#more-3879
It turns out the person who made this link in the comments section of my post, lives in Mumbai, India. He blogs about movies at: http://talkingtalkies.com/
At the bottom of his “Tree of Life” review Prakash Jashnani recommends “In A Spacious Place” and “The Schleicher Spin” by D.H. Schleicher from the South Jersey suburbs of Philadelphia: http://theschleicherspin.com/2011/06/11/memory-and-magic-in-terrence-malicks-the-tree-of-life/.
At the end of his “Tree of Life” post, Schleicher includes a list of important articles about the movie. If you have not yet been converted to the wonders of Terrence Malick’s “Tree of Life,” don’t just take my word for it, read the articles in Schleicher’s list. These are important works about an important film. If after reading these thoughts on the film, you still find yourself ambivalent about the movie, well at least you will know you have given it a good chance.

Thanks for the mention! Compiling the list of great articles out there about Malick’s film was a true pleasure. It’s so great to see all the different views about the film…everyone bringing a unique perspective and pointing out more wonders. It was definitely one of the most talked about films at my blog this year…and I’m glad to see the buzz hasn’t stopped.

Thank you for recommending my site. I liked your site, specially your various uplifting interpretations of Mallick’s Tree of Life. So, I mentioned your site in my WordPress Site and that’s when you get a “ping back” (one WordPress site giving a link to another WordPress site is a ping back).
You got that right, I’m from India, but not Mumbai. I’m from Chennai. Hope to read more interesting insights on your site.

Oh shucks and here I thought you had a dream and were back on another crusade about seeing the films. When in fact you were just responding to mentions of your site though giving you another opportunity for reminding us about the best films you have seen.
It is nice to have friends is it not…
