  • what was that at 0:03 ish ? it just disapeared ?!? eh ?

  • I agree it was very different sitting through a movie with little dialogue but I still found my mind racing with observations and comparisons to my own life. By the end of the movie I was nearly in tears, at the mercy of Malick's narrative, to which I had grown deeply connected. Great movie for some!

  • @MigoiMusic its a coaster. One of the other boys threw it. 

  • @Ashiman12 I like that interpretation. The only thing I can't figure out is why Malick shows such a literal vision of heaven at the end of the movie. In some ways I know it is metaphorical, but instead of using more subtle methods of conveying how she learned to accept her son's death and how Jack forgives his father and in the process comes to terms with the "nature" within him, Malick also appears to be tapping into a more fundamentalist "in heaven everything will be okay" perception.

  • My friend and I have a running joke because of this scene. When we talk about life, any aspect of it, regrets or whatever happened. We finish it with "Lived it." LMAO

  • @MigoiMusic No, you dumb fuck xD It has the same colour as brad's pants. Look again.

  • There are all kinds os trees of life. “Grey, my friend, is every theory / And green is Life’s golden tree”, said the Devil. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the Earth, when the morning stars sang together... and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” Weren’t you seated on the cinema’s chair? I was. It is Malick asking. He’s God in the movie. Just a riddle. But he just had to put that on the screen to get you in his hands, wasn’t it? You don't know what this film is. Advice: be aware

  • @adzug She ultimately realizes that her son's death wasn't a result of god's unfairness. Death is simply a part of life; everything that begins, has an end. She was able to move past her bitterness and realize that god (and realize I'm trying to speak from her point of view here) is, in fact, love, and that, therefore, god lies in the act of loving itself.

  • @adzug It's okay if you don't buy it. This is where this issue moves into personal choices, and different people respond differently when it comes to this issue. It's understandable to see the son's death as the consequence of an unjust god, and to question that god because of it. Heck, it's what the mother herself did at first. But she's able to move past bitterness and resentfulness. That's what the entire final sequence of the film is about, if in a symbolic, borderline-abstrast way.

  • @Ashiman12 see i dont buy that. this higher power gives no ryhme or reason for her sons death leaves her with no sense of understanding why the most precious thing is taken from her. then she turns to this higher power for guidance? why? a personal relationship works 2 ways. what comfort can be taken from this higher power that causes you such pain gives no explanation why this is done ? what peace can you find with this? in job god demands respect but for what?

  • @adzug Well, obviously, she'll always love and miss her child. By "letting go" I don't mean forgetting or to stop caring. It's more a matter of accepting his death, making her peace with it, letting the wounds heal, entrusting him to the higher power she turns to for guidance.

  • @Ashiman12 i dont like the mother letting go of pain tho, the way i see it is that the mother could learn to go on but i dont see her saying that as real. that a mom would never completely give that away. maybe you see ot another way this is what i got from it tho.
