In a piece about the film director Terrence Malick, The Daily Texan notes that:

Born in Waco, Malick studied philosophy at Harvard and Oxford, producing a translation of Heidegger's "Essence of Reason" before disagreements with his thesis advisor led him to turn his back on academics.

In his translator's introduction Malick observes:

There is a way in which one cannot agree with Heidegger "on ceratin points" any more than one can, even in a manner of speaking, be insane or revolutionary on certain points. None of his concepts, the concept of world included, can be understood until one knows how to turn all of them to account.
