If you don't like the music why did you type "lacrimosa" or even clicked on a link that said "lacrimosa" what did you expect to find if not opera-like music?
I know this probably is a greaaat movie, but I found it very very boring....so I turned off my brain..and did not catch a single thing...I mean, the narrative style was pretty cool, the characters were a litle bit stereotypical, but that's ok...the thing is...just...boring...
This is one of those movies you wait and wait to see after seeing some awesome trailer. Then when you watch it you're let down by what a load of elephant shit it is.
This Film touches certain people and makes perfect sense to them.anyone without this natural insight is going to find this film hard work. its a masterpiece, its not pretentious its a moving art that needs to be seen,not looked at!
@lndac02 What about the people who finds it kind of scary because it shows that the world will end sometime..I really love it though, but it sends chills down my spine when i think of what will happen to us.
I'm not disputing that it's a retelling of the book of job. but since the stories in the bible are the word of man and not the word of god I think mallick just liked this particular story as a way of illustrating his usual interesting themes.
@RaulSoaresG1452 I think they are stupid people, who think opera music is too old for them, those same stupide ones who think opera and ballet are ridiculous.
if "The Tree of Life" is not nominated this year for best picture at the Oscars it means that America and the people of the Academy are not ready to understand and appreciate such a masterpiece... i really hope this movie gets the Oscar for best picture this year it has already the Golden Palm in Cannes!
@kimifan1989 I disagree, it's not just about appreciating art, you can't generalize art and say that it is appreciated or not; what the tree of life depicts, to me, is something that is more whole and more graceful than simple artistic creation.
@stealspell That's true. However, it's not hard to find it to be agreeable from a Christian standpoint, which I take while viewing the film. It happens to be my favorite film of all time and I enjoy dissecting it as you have. Very nice point.
@stealspell Malick is a Christian, actually -- Episcopalian, more specifically. He studied a lot of existentialist philosophy, hence the existentialist themes in The Tree of Life, but make no mistake: Malick is a Christian. Why do you think the film opens with a quote from the Book of Job? Why do you think the camera is continuously panning upward? One can take away either a religious or spiritual message from the film, but don't doubt that Malick is a Christian.
@CaptainMorganThe3rd True. I always assumed him to be spiritual because Heidegger was very spiritual and often called human experience itself a religion. I'm skeptical Malick believes in some of the wacky stuff the Episcopalians believe in and think he only follows the religion because his family does. Anyway, I think it's hard to argue his films reflect a religious undertone but only a spiritual one; with the exception of the quotation from Job. I mean, the Matrix is more religious than Malick.
@stealspell Well, I respect your opinion, of course. I myself am a Christian -- not a fundamentalist, mind you -- so it's easy for me to walk away from this film with a religious as well as spiritual impact. I just watched The New World for the first time today, and I'll concede that the film has much more of a spiritual overtone, but honestly I don't know how much it matters. I still think of Malick as one of the world's greatest living directors; his religious persuasion wouldn't change that.
@stealspell He's using the book of job to illustrate an ongoing theme that runs through all his films - our struggle to come to terms with the duality of nature. That there is no good side or bad side or at least both these sides are one thing that it's just "two sides of the same coin" This does not make him Christian. He's just using the book of job to make a point.
@teetpiece I agree he's making a point. But the fact that he chose to quote the Bible and not a quote from somewhere else makes it hard to ignore an appeal to the Judeo-Christian faith. All I said is that the quote is a religious undertone over, an exception from the rest, which is more spiritual than religious.
And this scene is to be compared to the only other "celestial sequence" in the film, namely the scene at the end featuring Berlioz' "Agnus Dei." Here we find God and man in balanced, harmonized to the tune of the "Lamb of God," who "takes away the sins of the world," who "reconciles the world to God," who, in other words, reconciles the "way of nature" to "the way of grace," the principle tension of the film (not good and evil, as in The Thin Red Line).
@teetpiece Perhaps it does not make him Christian, but what you call a Christian undertone is fact the central thread of the film. Take, for example, the current scene featuring the Lacrimosa: this does not merely echo the Book of Job and principally Job 38:4-7 (with which the film opens), but visually displays the drama. Here on the one hand we hear man mourning and wailing against God, and there on the other we witness God "lay the foundations of the earth."
@789123456789 I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not. In the event that you're not, though, I can assure you that I've never met a Christian who denied the existence of dinosaurs
@CaptainMorganThe3rd lol, i'm not a christian at all, so i have no idea on what they believe. The only part that felt overly spiritual that i didnt get was the ending scene at the beach.
@789123456789 Most Christians believe there were dinosaurs, but don't believe they were around millions of years ago. They think they existed only thousands of years ago. The real crazy ones believe the fossils are just a "test" by god.
As for the ending, don't think of it as an afterlife type scene. Think of it as Jack coming to terms with his existence and relation to everyone else. He has found inner peace at the end.
This movie is, quite easily, the greatest piece of film ever created. The absolute pinnacle of what can be accomplished through film. The artistry and heart in this completely blows my mind. The emotional response it created within me I hadn't thought possible.
this is beautiful and terrifying. i can kind of grasp what it's getting at but ultimately can not be sure of exactly what it's saying. wait...that's kind of like....life! DING DING DING DING DING
@llieske dude im christian but the universe is gods gift to us i believe that god will guide me threw my life but there are real pictures out there of space like this and it is very beautiful
the only thing remotely wrong/disappointing with any of this is that there wouldn't be noise from the sun's gas bubbles due to space being a vacuum :/
@ZIMfan675 if indeed anyone was around to actually be disappointed. but if they were then they would indeed have some kind of sophisticated technology that would allow themselves to maybe get past this vacuum?
If it had been two hours of this, I wouldn't hesitate to call it the greatest movie ever made. Unfortunately, the rest of the film was the most pretentious tripe I've ever seen.
@JoyGrenade Tell me what makes The Tree of Life prententious? Terrence Mallick's films are high art. He puts forward genuine philsophical thoughts - humanity's place in the universe. Our own personal struggle through this universe. The way of nature or grace, or how grace is intertwined into nature. Childhood, regret, the beginning of life and the end of time.
The film is poetry, a work of art. One that will change the way we look at movies in due time. Pretentious? No.
@RedRightHand8 Surely there's a better way to present a grand phillosophical treatise than by examining every excruciatingly boring detail of some milquetoast suburban family's struggle with their domineering father figure. The scene on the beach was the height of labored pseudospiritual nonsense, chicken soup for the Touched by an Angel fan's soul. Trumbull should have helmed the entire film. I could have watched that space footage forever.
Nothing pretentious about it. Malick asks questions that existed throughout time and he has an opinion about those questions. With this film he just lays down a couple of thoughts for us to think about. Nothing wrong with that. If this is pretentious then Mozart was also, and Mahler, Picasso, Michelangelo etc. etc. Tree of life is pure art.
Just watched this, Amazing! I don't own many movies but I will this one. What you get out of it will depend on the mood you are in, your age, and how you were brought up. It is a movie that I could watch over and over again because I'm sure I missed much because of so many memories being stirred during the viewing. I am wide awake at 6AM with no nap yesterday and all I want to do is write about my childhood.
@fletcherii Thank you. I've watched it 2x, and both were inherently different experiences. The first was child-like awe. The second was intensely emotional. more-so than during any other movie. Growing up the middle of two brothers, with a loving but harsh dad and a soft mother, it struck really close to home as I re-lived my childhood and saw the connections with the macro (creation) and the micro (the intense emotional connection we have with our past) and how both are married in life.
@exp9r I think this whole scene is very philosophical and strange. I think that Terrence Malick with this scene explained the macrocosmos and the microcosmos. We always wonder why life is hard? Why people die? What is life really? Why do we suffer? These questions are in our spirits (microcosmos) and the answers are in the things that sorround us, those things are bigger than our spirits, those things are part of the universe (macrocosmos). "Life is always connected to the universe".
@KyleBowman123 WTF are you saying? This is NOT a "version" of Mozart's Lacrimosa, "Lacrimosa" is just a part of a Requiem.There are thousands of "Lacrimosas". THOUSANDS.
@iamtheintrepid Yeah, thanks, I meant I wanted to watch it on cinema, now after I saw it on DVD and I have now missed that chance, for a while at least.
Know why most of you cried and it felt like time was on a stand still? It's because you became aware of God's presence in that moment. Most of you will deny it because its something that happens in the subconscious. That's Ok, at least you were moved. Progress :)
@Alicegyel What? are you serious? why do you intend that it exists, and by the way that's an axiom: ''it doesnt matter what we think, god exists'' you are wrong sir, god exists yes, but only in your mind, you don't have proofs and you really didn't catch the movie, although an atheist like me will understand something and you understood something else, the scene is clear, no god, the movie shows 2 points of view, the contrast of a religous family mixed with this scenes to MAKE YOU THINK!
Funny how all the good stuff is attributed to "God". All the really bad stuff, the sewer that is this planet for most of world's population, the greed, the corruption, the disease, the suffering, the wars - oh no, nothing to do with this benign invisible being.
Although Terrence Malick has never stated that he believes in God, his films are some of the best reasons as to why someone like myself believes in a creator and a hereafter. His films are also open enough so that atheist's can marvel at the beauty of nature, but the way be presents his themes and questions, either that man knows God exists or he is desperately searching for something more. No one has put the beauty of our world in such simple and majestic form as Terrence Malick.
Another atheist who loved this movie to death. Has nothing to do with man made religion. But rather, with questions that haunt us all....through time and space, into infinity. It's the greatest mystery of all time.
I think this is one of the most spectacular scenes in cinematic history. I have never been so moved. This is the closest I will ever come to knowing what the universe looks like.
The nerd inside of me loved the nebulae and galaxies, the soul inside of me began to hope that this is what eternity is like.
@tallchick80@tallchick80 eternity???? LMAO and dont overate it it was gd but not that gd. REALLY closest ur come to knowing what the universe looks like WOW take a look at hubble deep feild. and your soul lol if such a thing even exists
@k5669 What made this sequence so special was that I didn't have to imagine the undulating nebulae and spinning galaxies, I got to see the Universe in action as I always imagined and what's not wonderful about that?
As for the soul, just because we cannot quantify something today doesn't mean we cannot quantify it tomorrow.
The images of our grandeur cosmos accompanied with beautiful,majestic and i would even go as far to say heavenly music is moving however it is OUR music, sounds voices and instruments all of man, originated from our small little planet earth which is located in the unimaginably infinet vastness of the observable universe.

@RedRightHand8 Surely there's a better way to present a grand phillosophical treatise than by examining every excruciatingly boring detail of some milquetoast suburban family's struggle with their domineering father figure. The scene on the beach was the height of labored pseudospiritual nonsense, chicken soup for the Touched by an Angel fan's soul. Trumbull should have helmed the entire film. I could have watched that space footage forever.

Nothing pretentious about it. Malick asks questions that existed throughout time and he has an opinion about those questions. With this film he just lays down a couple of thoughts for us to think about. Nothing wrong with that. If this is pretentious then Mozart was also, and Mahler, Picasso, Michelangelo etc. etc. Tree of life is pure art.

Just watched this, Amazing! I don't own many movies but I will this one. What you get out of it will depend on the mood you are in, your age, and how you were brought up. It is a movie that I could watch over and over again because I'm sure I missed much because of so many memories being stirred during the viewing. I am wide awake at 6AM with no nap yesterday and all I want to do is write about my childhood.

@fletcherii Thank you. I've watched it 2x, and both were inherently different experiences. The first was child-like awe. The second was intensely emotional. more-so than during any other movie. Growing up the middle of two brothers, with a loving but harsh dad and a soft mother, it struck really close to home as I re-lived my childhood and saw the connections with the macro (creation) and the micro (the intense emotional connection we have with our past) and how both are married in life.

@exp9r I think this whole scene is very philosophical and strange. I think that Terrence Malick with this scene explained the macrocosmos and the microcosmos. We always wonder why life is hard? Why people die? What is life really? Why do we suffer? These questions are in our spirits (microcosmos) and the answers are in the things that sorround us, those things are bigger than our spirits, those things are part of the universe (macrocosmos). "Life is always connected to the universe".

Know why most of you cried and it felt like time was on a stand still? It's because you became aware of God's presence in that moment. Most of you will deny it because its something that happens in the subconscious. That's Ok, at least you were moved. Progress :)

@Alicegyel What? are you serious? why do you intend that it exists, and by the way that's an axiom: ''it doesnt matter what we think, god exists'' you are wrong sir, god exists yes, but only in your mind, you don't have proofs and you really didn't catch the movie, although an atheist like me will understand something and you understood something else, the scene is clear, no god, the movie shows 2 points of view, the contrast of a religous family mixed with this scenes to MAKE YOU THINK!

Although Terrence Malick has never stated that he believes in God, his films are some of the best reasons as to why someone like myself believes in a creator and a hereafter. His films are also open enough so that atheist's can marvel at the beauty of nature, but the way be presents his themes and questions, either that man knows God exists or he is desperately searching for something more. No one has put the beauty of our world in such simple and majestic form as Terrence Malick.

I think this is one of the most spectacular scenes in cinematic history. I have never been so moved. This is the closest I will ever come to knowing what the universe looks like.
The nerd inside of me loved the nebulae and galaxies, the soul inside of me began to hope that this is what eternity is like.
WOW!

@k5669 What made this sequence so special was that I didn't have to imagine the undulating nebulae and spinning galaxies, I got to see the Universe in action as I always imagined and what's not wonderful about that?
As for the soul, just because we cannot quantify something today doesn't mean we cannot quantify it tomorrow.
