“If God gives us free will, we are responsible for what we do or what we fail to do. “ What a beautiful line. 👏🏽 “I have to stand up to evil”.

I swear, watching a Terrence Malick film is like lying down on a hill and watching the clouds go by.

"It is better to suffer an injustice than to do it". A line from this beautiful film. Is it slow? Yes. Is it really long? Yes. Is it worth watching? Yes. This is not popcorn entertainment. It is a heartbreaking and thought-provoking sermon that will challenge the viewer to consider their own convictions, and whether or not they would stand up to evil.

This movie should have gotten way more attention than it did. Beautifully relevant.

I saw this yesterday. One of the most beautiful films I've ever seen! Others cannot compare. It's like the beauty of a hushed whisper, or the silence of a mind at the height of indescribable pain.

That feeling when you watch this alone in theatre at 10:30pm. Greatest movie I ever saw.

This trailer made me cry. It takes a lot of strength to stand up for what you believe is right even if it will cost you your life.

"I am with you, always" The sacrament of marriage in a nutshell

Only Terrence Malick can make me cry with a trailer for a movie I haven't seen.

Such terrific cinematography. Critics are saying this is Malick's best since "The Tree of Life."

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -George Santayana

Franz was true to God and the church when his own clergymen were traitors. A truly saintly man. His wife, Fani, was likewise true. Both deserve praise and respect.

Funny that The guy who played Nazi general in Inglorious Bastard plays anti Nazi in this movie

I can count on one hand the number of films that moved me like this one did. Such a masterpiece of pure cinema.

I have been watching Terence Malick ever since Badlands and this one, A Hidden Life, is his masterpieces. Beautiful beyond words with some timely, but not belabored, messages. The quote at the end of the movie says it all: “..for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.”― George Eliot, Middlemarch

Terrance Malick always has one message in every movie if you pay attention. It’s true love is more Powerful than all forces of nature and guns existence. Love is the strongest element on the chart. You must love.

I dont care about the Disney taking over Fox. So long as we have Fox Searchlight delivering, producing, and distributing quality films like this, I am all for it!

I went into this movie totally blind and it was the best blind watch ive ever seen. It took me by surprise and i felt emotions i didnt know i had

Terrence Malick is the Rembrandt of cinema. His films will defy the ages.

I saw it last night - one of the best movies I've seen in years. Highly recommended.

August Diehl is absolutely amazing, such a terrific actor giving world class performance. Inglorious Bastards anyone?

This movie is what we need, unfortunately none of the people now who really need to have their eyes and hearts opened won’t see this movie

This was such a humbling experience. I think I spent the last 40 minutes of this movie crying.

This movie has altered my life. His actions are to be cherished and embraced; may I have the same courage if that is to be called upon me. Blessed Franz, please smile upon those of us who seek His face through love, forgiveness, and social justice

I fear feeling uncomfortable and hurt by this film, which means I should go see it.

Just when I saw " A cathedral of the senses " I immediately knew it's Terrence Malick.

In case you are wondering, the music starting at 1:16 is Henryk Gorecki: Symphony no. 3 III The whole symphony is awesome, go listen to it immediately.

The music is the Symphony No.3 by Henryk Górecki. It is taken from an anonymous poem to his mother written by a prisoner in a Gestapo cell. It is so moving. It can only be listened to in silence and concentration. It is very slow and overpowering. "A solo soprano sings Polish texts in each of the three movements. The first is a 15th-century Polish lament of Mary, mother of Jesus, the second a message written on the wall of a Gestapo cell during World War II, and the third a Silesian folk song of a mother searching for her son killed by the Germans in the Silesian uprisings. The first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, and the second movement from that of a child separated from a parent. The dominant themes of the symphony are motherhood and separation through war." Wikipedia

I didn't even needed to see who directed this. The cinematography tells you inmidiatly

Beautiful cinematography..... I am done with mainstream live action, pre-sequal/sequel and reboot movies!

Terrence Malick is the Rembrandt of cinema. His filmography are timeless works of splendor and beauty

Five years later and still one of the best trailers created. Gives me chills every time. Masterful film.

The Thin Red Line is one of my favorite movies of all time, can't wait for this.

I just know I'm going to cry when this movie comes out...

This film is a slap in the face of every German who said they had no choice

"What doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" - Mark 8:36

Such A Great Movie .... About Faith, War, Religion, Hate, Love, Good and Bad ..... An inner war of each of us ... Respect from north Africa (Tunisia)

Sometimes I return to this trailer just to cry for a while. Transcendend work.

The fact that this didn’t even get nominated for anything by the academy is complete BS

There is nothing more beautiful than Mallick's filmography.I have been eagerly waiting for this historical drama.

One of the great martyrs of the Catholic Church. It's a pity the priests and bishops he confided in did not posses similar courage.

Seems like Malick is actually doing what the "God's Not Dead" people only *think* they're doing.

This film is so powerful, it can only be watched once. It will seared deep into your memory and into your psyche.

August Diehl is such a beatiful actor & when beautiful actors is in Malick's hands you can cry.

They should make more movies like this,about time the world realize not all of Germany agreed with Hitler during the last world war

The loe they had for each other was so little spoken yet so heartfelt

I've watched this trailer, oh, maybe a half dozen times, and the combination of words, images and music still brings tears to my eyes. I say this knowing that most of the movie-going audience will never understand or enjoy this type of narrative sadly. If a movie (or any piece of art) does not make you feel a true emotion beyond excitement, how good is it really?

A typically stylish Terrance Malick film with majestic visuals, attention to detail, voiceovers during the story, gorgeous musical soundtrack, and brilliant acting! In this case August Diell and the wildly talented Valerie Pachner! A great love story caught up in the husband's WWII public disloyalty to Hitler. Perhaps his finest achievement since 'Days of Heaven'.

An intense, heartbreaking trailer. Knowing this happened makes it more painful. So many lessons to be learned from this story.

One of Bruno Ganz's last perfomances.

Just got back from seeing it; quite a sobering movie esp with the craziness of work and the materialistic holidays. I didnt want to stop watching it. Malick & Widmer really make you feel like you were there in those ordinary moments as a farmer. Former brings back his favorite theme of family: screenplay like from Tree of Life. Thiel's character really inspires us to do the right thing and live life by morals/principles. His wife was so beautiful/enduring as a mother + wife and wise especially. She (and their love) was the one who made her husband a good man.

Never thought a movie like this would have any relevance on me . I do now ، while watching this piece It felt like Im lying on grass watching a glorious cathedral beiging built behind prison bars ،On top of all this, this film gave me a picture of a quote I knew 《The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy》.

i have literally never been more excited for a film in my entire life

THE FIRST FRAMES AND I AUTOMATICALLY KNEW IT WAS ANOTHER MASTERPIECE FROM TERRENCE!! Nothing more visually beautiful than his movies.

Going into the movie I knew it would be grappling with moral decisions. I did not know this would be the most powerful depiction of marriage I have ever seen.

This was not so much a film as a lived experience. So beautiful...an encounter.

The message of this epic movie, "better to suffer injustice than to do it "

For all Malick's habitual over indulgences, the finest big film of 2019-ignored by the Oscars-which tells you all you need to know about the Oscars.

This movie is a stunning Masterpiece! It stirs your soul, drawing you in slowly, yet deliberately, then moving you along on a train of emotions until you reach that final destination and become overwhelmed by the towering presence of God's love. Not since Schlinder's List has an audience been so deliberately captured, unable to escape, while the sheer force of Malick's message demands an emotional response from the observer. As you stand and prepare to exit the theater, a quiet reverence for this beautiful achievement is felt and you feel as though a part of your soul has been given away, removed, and you are forced to seek answers to life's great mysteries, to question and think over the significance and meaning of life and human interactions. Emotions found deep within one's being are forced out and unleashed as the climax of the film recalls the true life events of a loving husband and father, a simple farmer, whose great sin amongst his peers is wanting peace. Great films evoke feelings in an audience that many are usually unwilling to share, or reluctant to acknowledge, and like all great works of art, once seen, emotions are impossible to suppress. This is cinematic artistry at its best. If Oscar, the Academy for that matter, fail to recognize this stunning achievement, then they will have finally squandered what little credibility remains after years of poor selections and political correctness. The whole spectrum of cinematic imagery is employed by Malick, as he takes us back to Citizen Kane with his use of shadows and corridors of black and white, close up facials and unreachable windows of light suggest Malick wants his audience to search for God's hand in our daily lives. Confined spaces are contrasted by vast vistas of fields of wheat, rolling hills, lanes of tilled land and columns of trees that reach into eternity; mountains tower over us, distant but omnipresent, while streams flow below, filling rivers with life. The Nazis, Malick wants us to remember, have abandoned the search for meaning in life, ignoring the essence of their surroundings which they are so obsessed to control; they resort to violence and brutality, all the while ignoring God's majesty, life, and constantly determined to reject God's presence in nature, intent on lusting for power, and once achieved, creating places of steel and isolation, caging humans in cement cells like captured birds. Answers that will help explain life's mysteries are all part of Malick's quest. He gives his best attempt to answer his own queries at the film's conclusion. And through it all, there is one thing that is certain at the end of the film - there is no disputing the fact that Malick is a genius and this film is his Tour De Force - a Masterpiece, pure and simple. This is a film that needs to be seen multiple times in order to fully grasp the meaning. Malick, with this film, has entered the Parthenon of Film Directors from Welles, Kazan, Hitchcock, Spielberg to Kubrick. His visions require deep considerations and detailed reflection in order to properly appreciate the meanings Malick so carefully projects onto the screen. "A Hidden Life" is a hidden gem, that will only become more astonishing to look at with the passage of time. Bravo Terrence Malick!!

A masterpiece. Watched it for the first time last night. A story of will power for the greater Glory of God.

“You can’t change the world. World is stronger. I need you...”

Just watched it for the first time this week. Excellent movie. Beautiful music, amazing scenery, and a powerful story.

I think the soul of Terrence is a true poet. He makes movies out of that poetry that fill the senses with beauty.

True human heroes are born when the situation calls for it.

Trailer music: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) III. Lento - cantabile Semplice

I cannot imagine watching this film the trailer brought me to tears 😭

Having just watched this film it provided much more substance than the Tree of Life. This true story was truly inspiring and I was moved to tears at the end.

RIP Franz Jägerstätter (May 20, 1907 - August 9, 1943), aged 36 RIP Bruno Ganz (March 22, 1941 - February 16, 2019), aged 77 RIP Michael Nyqvist (November 8, 1960 - June 27, 2017), aged 56 You will always be remembered as legends.

This movie is just Gold

More relevant today than ever.

I can’t do what I believe is wrong! simple statement yet it gave me goosebumps.

A simple man who decided to say “no”. I wonder what will happen to the people today who say “no” to the things they are pushing on us now.

Is a majestic, beautifully shot film. The cast is excellent too, the contrast of the close ups of the individual characters and the settings specially the mountain side are breathtaking. There is shot or two of the family enjoying life before their tragedy at the edge of the mountain where the camera mirrors the angle of the mountain itself. It reminded me of Silence and Paul both moving and powerful films. Unfortunally for some men like him, the Nazis hated those who did not break under pressure peacefully resisting even more than those who fought back against them. The music is just amazing as the journey of his test of faith is told for 3 hours, yes is a long movie but worth it all.

Seen at Cannes. Just like other Malick films, it may not be for everyone, but I thought it was a great one. It is a very long movie, but there is still a better sense of narrative flow, compared to "Knight of Cups" and "Song to Song". Gorgeous cinematography which does implement recent Malick techniques, with occasional use of static shots, particularly when showcasing the landscapes.

I wept at the beauty and grandeur of this film, the intimacy and commitment of the husband and wife relationship and the quote that the "quietest acts of resistance are part of what save civilization". This man (and wife) is humanity at it's finest, in a time of pure darkness. If this movie is half as good as the trailer, I hope it wins an Oscar.

Finally a Terrence Mallick's movie whose plot made some sense just by the glimpse of the trailer and not the usual weary and dreariness that we get from his previous ones and when Mallick gets a plot, we know what to expect......................a masterpiece.

This looks absolutely stunning, hopefully It'll come out somewhere near me

Just saw it today. It felt like a religious experience. My favorite film of 2019

Saw it around two years ago. Everyone needs to see this beautiful movie.

I’ve never seen a Terrence Malik film but holy hell the cinematography looks fantastic.

I could just watch Terrence Malick's trailers and still be satisfied.

MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FILM OF THE PAST 5 YEARS . SUBLIME FILMMAKING .

I just randomly come here a few times a day to watch the trailer cause it's a separate work of art.

Finally, a movie where August Diehl is not portrayed as the evil german officer although his performances in Inglorious Basterds , Munich, and Allied were majestic.

Terence Malick makes another stunning masterpiece.

This was my favorite movie of 2019! Yep, I liked it more than Parasite!

Wow! I’m absolutely amazed by how Malick beautifully incorporated his nuanced and abstract ideas into a, what it looks like, linear structure film.

The first 45 seconds. Complete magic.

This is what cinema should make you feel, bitter sweet feeling in your tummy and heart.

The setting is particularly interesting because he was in this grand landscape with huge towering mountains, most would feel small and unimportant, and yet he understood the weight of his choices and actions, and he had chosen to do what’s right and kind🤍 stunning film

I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THIS MOVIE.

“They look up [at the painted Christ] and they imagine that if they lived in Christ’s time they wouldn’t have acted as the others did...We create admirers. We do not create followers.” That was a beautiful line by the Church artist in this film! So true!

Unsurprisingly, this looks like another masterstroke from Malick and one I can't wait for.

"for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” - George Eliot

The cinematography was just...incredible

Best Director ever. Takes you into another world. Not always perfect but that is the brilliance.

One of the most beautiful stories and films I have ever seen in my life...

“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” James 4:17

Watching Terrance Malick films is like watching a glorious cathedral being built; one brick at a time...

Such a marvelous of Terrence. I don't watch the movie but witnessed that time.
