I haven't seen Days of Heaven for quite a while but I especially remember one scene that stroke me as a very good example of Malick's directing style and of his greatness as a director. I belive it was the part where a swarm of grasshoppers invades the farm and destroys the crop. I don't think one word was uttered on the screen for several minutes but Malick still manages to tell the story in a way that the audience understands the plot completely. Malick is really a visual director, he drives the story forward with images rather than dialogue. He's a master.

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
