Have you ever questioned the existence of faith. Or the creation of the universe. What is true and what is meaningful.
Very rarely are we privileged to see a a film that leaves us in such a captivating state of mind. "The Tree of Life" offers many potent images and scenes that will remain long after the film ends. And if your like me a sincere reflection and meaningful debate. You may not perceive or grasp each concept or figure (and I didn't), but it's not important. What's important is the seed the film has planted.
This is director Terrence Malick's 5th film in almost 40 years. It won this years top award at Cannes (Palm d'Or). This subjective, beautiful and poetic film is unlike any film you may have ever seen (including 2001: A Space Odyssey). The pure beauty is so stunning.. Regardless of your beliefs it's a film that should be seen. It's almost impossible to describe it in words.
Does all life begin at the origin of the universe. It's up to you to see the connection with a 1950's Waco, Texas family. The film follows a cast-iron strict father (Brad Pitt). A passive and almost saintly mother (Jessica Chastain). And their 3 sons, the oldest being 12, from childhood innocence to adulthood. It's the oldest and disillusioned/tormented son we follow to adulthood (Sean Penn).
About 15 minutes into the film we witness the most beautiful 20 minutes of our creation. Extremely visual. With an imaginative music score, cinematography, set design and editing, which should be awarded.
And as an added feature you will witness Brad Pitt's greatest performance, to date.
The Tree of Life is miles from what you normal view during this time of the year. Unfortunately, most will probably go next door to see one of those blockbusters.
