Terrence Frederick Malick (; born November 30, 1943) is an American film director, screenwriter and producer. In a career spanning over four decades he has directed eight feature films. Malick made his directorial debut with the drama ''Badlands'' (1973), about a young couple on a crime spree in the 1950s Midwest. His second film, ''Days of Heaven'' (1978), follows a farm laborer who becomes caught in a love triangle; both films are often ranked among the best of the 1970s. After the latter's release, Malick took a long hiatus from filmmaking. His third film, ''The Thin Red Line'' (1998), is set during World War II and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture. ''The New World'' (2005) is a romantic historical drama. ''The Tree of Life'' (2011) is an experimental drama that observes a 1950s Texas family through fragmented visual style and a nonlinear narrative. Although initial reviews were polarized, many critics and scholars now consider the film a masterpiece. ''Tree of Life'' won the Palme d'Or at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. ''To the Wonder'' (2012) is a romantic drama art film. Malick has received consistent praise for his work and is regarded as one of the greatest living filmmakers. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for ''The Thin Red Line'' and ''The Tree of Life'', and the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for ''The Thin Red Line'', as well as winning the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival for ''The Thin Red Line'', and the SIGNIS Award at the 69th Venice International Film Festival for ''To the Wonder''. ==Early life== Terrence Malick was born in Ottawa, Illinois. He is the son of Irene (née Thompson; 1912–2011) and Emil A. Malick (1917–2013),〔(Emil A. Malick Obituary: View Emil Malick's Obituary by Examiner-Enterprise ). Legacy.com.

His paternal grandparents were Assyrian Christian immigrants from Syria and Lebanon.〔Lloyd Michaels, ''Terrence Malick'', Urbana : University of Illinois Press, c2009, p. 14〕 Malick attended St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, while his family lived in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Malick had two younger brothers: Chris and Larry. Larry Malick was a guitarist who went to study in Spain with Andrés Segovia in the late 1960s. In 1968, Larry intentionally broke his own hands due to pressure over his musical studies. Their father Emil went to Spain to help Larry, but his son died shortly after, apparently committing suicide.〔Biskind, Peter. ''Easy Riders, Raging Bulls'', Simon and Schuster, 1998. pp.248–249.〕 Malick received a A.B. in philosophy from Harvard College, graduating ''summa cum laude'' and Phi Beta Kappa in 1965. He did graduate work at Magdalen College, Oxford, as a Rhodes Scholar. After a disagreement with his tutor, Gilbert Ryle, over his thesis on the concept of world in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein, Malick left Oxford without a degree. In 1969, Northwestern University Press published Malick's translation of Heidegger's ''Vom Wesen des Grundes'' as ''The Essence of Reasons''. After returning to the United States, Malick taught philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology while freelancing as a journalist. He wrote articles for ''Newsweek'', ''The New Yorker'', and ''Life''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terrence Malick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
