Ooops, that was Terrance Malick, the director.   He directed 'The Thin Red 
Line', 'Badlands', 'The Tree of Life', &etc.  Last night I watched 'The New 
World', and I thought it was wondrous, with music by Wagner.  :-)   Marsha

Greetings,

Since dmb is sharing information, I'd like to share that Terrence Malick, the 
movie producer, is a Heideggerian.   He's produced only a few movies, and you 
might enjoy them as he is exploring the Heideggarian concept of 'worlds'.
