Although notoriously withdrawn from public life, friends such as Martin Sheen have always remarked that he is a very warm and humble man who prefers to work without media intrusion.[citation #160;needed] His contracts stipulate that no current photographs of him are to be published and that he is not obligated to do any personal promotion for his films.Malick has directed four feature-length films and one short film:Lanton Mills (short film, 1969);Badlands (1973);Days of Heaven (1978);The Thin Red Line (1998);The New World (2005)Badlands and Days of Heaven are considered masterpieces[citation #160;needed], and Malick was nominated for an Academy Award for both Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for The Thin Red Line. His work is often characterized by naturalist cinematography and a meditative directorial and editing style; his films are full of rich, lingering, repetitive images of natural beauty. He makes extensive use of off-screen narration by his characters as well as music to illuminate, heighten and counterpoint the action on screen.[edit]Biography and careerThe son of an oil company executive, Malick grew up in Oklahoma and Texas and worked on oil fields as a young man. He was the oldest of three boys. Chris, the middle brother, was involved in a horrible automobile accident that burned him badly and killed his wife. Larry, the youngest, went to Spain to study with guitarist Segovia. In 1968, he committed suicide. Their father, Emil, was an oil geologist of Lebanese descent who worked for Phillips Petroleum while his mother, Irene, was of Irish heritage and came from Chicago. Malick graduated from St. Stephens Episcopal School, Austin, Texas, where he played football as a linebacker. Malick broke the school record for most defensive sacks on the quarterback his senior year and was nominated for Texas football player of the year. He graciously declined the nomination and forfeited his chance at the award.He studied philosophy under Stanley Cavell at Harvard University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1965, and went on to Magdalen College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He had a disagreement with his advisor, Gilbert Ryle, over his thesis on the concept of the world in Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Wittgenstein, and ultimately left Oxford without taking a doctorate. In 1969, Northwestern University Press published Malicks translation of Heideggers Vom Wesen des Grundes as The Essence of Reasons. Moving back to the United States, he taught philosophy at Massachusetts Institute of Technology while freelancing
