Badlands by Terrence Malick



"He was 25 years old. He combed his hair like James Dean. She was 15. She took music lessons and could twirl a baton. For a while they lived together in a tree house. In 1959, she watched while he killed a lot of people."

Loosely based on the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree during 1958, Badlands is a film about a "innocent" teenage girl, Holly, and her older boyfriend, Kit. Holly's father strongly forbids their relationship, so Kit kills him. This event began their killing spree adventure to the Badlands of Montana.
