Terrence Malick, throughout his filmography, has been wandering around different philosophical themes in each of his films. From “Malas Terras” (1973) in which he explores the meaning of living with two people wanted by the police to “Lost Life” (2019) in which a peasant fights against his principles by having to make the decision whether or not to join Hitler’s troops. It all revolves around, the being. But what is being? or what are we and why are we here? These are questions that Martin Heidegger, in his book “Being and Time”, and that Malick also knows very well since he taught on existentialism and Heidegger at the University of Massachusetts. This research paper seeks to study the representation of existentialism explained by Heidegger in Malick’s films “The Tree of Life” and “Destinies.” All this, using frames of structural analysis of the film and the protagonist, and in addition to intertwining key moments of the film’s scheme with Heidegger’s postulations thanks to the narrative. In addition, this thesis is added as study material in Spanish to understand cinema from a different point of view thanks to the philosophical plane that Malick presents in his scripts.
