Malick has...shall we say, a different way of telling a story. But if you can tolerate his slow and meandering ways, it's a terrific movie.

Spoiler Alert:

And I quote...

"the practice became widespread again in the 18th century through sailors returning from Polynesia (popularizing the term "tattoo") and saw a major aristocratic craze in the Victorian era (mid-19th century) when royalty like King Edward VII got them, making them fashionable for the upper classes before declining to marginalized groups until modern resurgence."
