Incoherent? Gosh...Okay then,I'll be more blunt.
"Tricks,tool's,style"..they all come from the same pool but you guys want to believe that Malick has a well thought out artistic style yet all Spielberg uses are simple hollywood "tricks".
Malick uses pretence,"tricks" and narrative panache to smooth over "bumps" in the story every bit as much as Spielberg does but it seems that because Spielberg operates within the "system" he is a whore to the filmschool crowd for doing so while Malick is an "Artist" for doing the very same things, I say this is elitist bullshit.
Art as well as beauty is in the eye of the beholder......or do you think that notion is incoherent as well?

By the way yes it's true that Ebert gave TRL three stars,He also gave The Phantom Menace three & 1/2 stars. He gave SPR four stars. ......I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.
