Badlands
(Warner Bros.)Terrence Malick’s Badlands is easily one of the most underrated crime films of all time. Can you really call The Godfather The Greatest™ without first having seen this criminal anti-romance? Perhaps, perhaps not. The film was inspired by the real life story of Charles Starkweather, a 20 year old who rode around The Midwest killing people accompanied by his fourteen year old hostage/girlfriend. The film follows Kit Carruthers, a Vietnam vet/James Dean lookalike who seduces Holly, a sign painter’s young daughter. After killing her father, Kit takes young Holly on a cross country odyssey to evade the authorities – the teenage girl’s emotions too blunted by shock to do anything about it. It’s ultimately a film about a young person adapting to a violent world, one who becomes a passive onlooker in her own life in order to ensure her survival. Murderous and melancholy in equal measure.
