Happy birthday, Terrence Malick! May your special day be filled with more whispered voiceovers, poetic visuals of swaying grass fields, and existential pondering than ever before. Your films have taught us that even dinosaurs can contemplate mercy and grace—truly groundbreaking stuff!From "Days of Heaven" to "The Tree of Life," you've shown us the beauty hidden in life's quietest moments (and made everyone secretly wish their childhood memories were narrated by Jessica Chastain). Here's hoping this year brings you continued success—and perhaps a few less confused moviegoers asking friends afterward: "Wait...what did we just watch?" Cheers to you!
