The New World is one of the names used for the Western Hemisphere, specifically America and sometimes Oceania (Australasia). The term originated in the late 15th century, when America had been recently discovered by European explorers, expanding the geographical horizon of the people of the European middle Ages, who had thought of the world as consisting of Europe, Asia, and Africa: collectively now referred to as the Old World.

Name origin

In 1524, the term was also used by Giovanni da Verrazzano in a record of his voyage that year along the Atlantic coast of land that is now part of the United States and Canada.

Terrence Frederick Malick (born November 30, 1943) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. In a career spanning almost four decades, Malick has directed six feature films.

Malick has received consistent regard for his work, and his films are often considered masterpieces. Malick was nominated for an Academy Award for both Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director, and won the Golden Bear at the 49th Berlin International Film Festival for ''The Thin Red Line''. In 2011 Malick's ''The Tree of Life'' won the Palme d'Or at the 64th Cannes Film Festival.

Early life

Malick studied philosophy under Stanley Cavell at Harvard University, graduating ''summa cum laude'' and Phi Beta Kappa in 1965. He went on to Magdalen College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar but left without earning a doctorate. In 1969, Northwestern University Press published Malick's translation of Heidegger's ''Vom Wesen des Grundes'' as ''The Essence of Reasons''. Moving back to the United States, Malick taught philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while freelancing as a journalist. He wrote articles for ''Newsweek'', ''The New Yorker'', and ''Life''.

Film career

After one of his screenplays, ''Deadhead Miles'', was made into what Paramount Pictures felt to be an unreleasable film, Malick decided to direct his own scripts. His first work was ''Badlands'' (1973), an independent film starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as a young couple on a crime spree in the 1950s. After a troubled production, ''Badlands'' drew raves at its premiere at the New York Film Festival, leading to Warner Bros. Pictures buying distribution rights for three times its budget.

Paramount Pictures produced Malick's second film, ''Days of Heaven'' (1978), about a love triangle that develops in the farm country of the Texas Panhandle in the early 20th century. The film spent two years in post-production, during which Malick and his crew experimented with unconventional editing and voice-over techniques. ''Days of Heaven'' went on to win the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, as well as the prize for Best Director at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.

Following the release of ''Days of Heaven'', Malick began developing a project for Paramount, entitled ''Q'', that explored the origins of life on earth. During pre-production, he suddenly moved to Paris and disappeared from public view. During this time, he wrote a number of screenplays, including ''The English Speaker'', about Josef Breuer's analysis of Anna O.; adaptations of Walker Percy's ''The Moviegoer'' and Larry McMurtry's ''The Desert Rose''; a script about Jerry Lee Lewis; and a stage adaptation of ''Sansho the Bailiff'' that was to be directed by Andrzej Wajda, in addition to continuing work on the ''Q'' script. Malick's work on ''Q'' eventually became the basis for his 2011 film ''The Tree of Life''.

Twenty years after ''Days of Heaven'', Malick returned to film directing in 1998 with ''The Thin Red Line'', a loose adaptation of the James Jones World War II novel of the same name, for which he gathered a large ensemble of famous stars. The movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards, won the Golden Bear at the 1999 Berlin Film Festival, and received critical acclaim.

After learning of Malick's work on an article about Che Guevara during the 1960s, Steven Soderbergh offered Malick the chance to write and direct a film about Guevara that he had been developing with Benicio del Toro. Malick accepted and produced a screenplay focused on Guevara's failed revolution in Bolivia. After a year and a half, the financing had not come together entirely, and Malick was given the opportunity to direct ''The New World'', a script he had begun developing in the 1970s. Consequently, he left the Guevara project in March 2004. though it has since been hailed as one of the best films of the decade.

Malick's fifth feature, ''The Tree of Life'', was filmed in Smithville, Texas, and elsewhere during 2008. Starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, it is a family drama spanning multiple time periods and focuses on an individual's reconciling love, mercy and beauty with the existence of sickness, suffering and death. It premiered at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival where it won the Palme d'Or before being released in the United States on May 27, 2011. Two of the film's producers, Bill Pohlad and Sarah Green, accepted the prize on behalf of the reclusive Malick. ''The Tree of Life'' is the first American film to win the Palme d'Or since ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' in 2004. Head of the jury, Robert De Niro, said it was difficult to choose a winner, but ''The Tree of Life'' "ultimately fit the bill". De Niro explained, "It had the size, the importance, the intention, whatever you want to call it, that seemed to fit the prize.". On August 19, 2011 ''The Tree of Life'' has been rewarded by FIPRESCI, the International Federation of Film Critics, with the Big Prize for the Best Film Of the Year. The award will be presented on September 16, during the opening ceremony of the 59th San Sebastián International Film Festival.

Malick recently finished shooting his sixth feature in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Filming in Pawhuska took place in two locations, a Catholic church and the Triangle Building, a three-sided, three-story building. Other details about the film are being closely guarded, with no title or plot information as yet announced. The film will star Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem and Rachel Weisz.

From 1970 to 1976 Malick was married to Jill Jakes.

Malick married Michele Morette in 1985; they divorced in 1998. Morette died in July 2008 from pancreatic cancer in Paris, France.
