The Tree of Life https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4e/Thetreeoflifeposter.jpg Dir: Terrence Malick Genre: Drama Year: 2011 The Tree of Life is a hard movie to describe. To me, it is the best case scenario of letting a genius filmmaker do whatever he wants without interference. But like anytime you dive deep into a brilliant mind, you'll find some stuff that's difficult to understand and hard to process. The Tree of Life has a very loose narrative that jumps around chronologically. We go from a boy's childhood to his reflective middle-age years to the birth of the universe to a CGI dinosaur scene that goes on for way too long to a straight-up visual metaphor sequence that defies any logic or structure. But it's all filmed with such a floaty, mesmerizing quality that it eventually begins to make sense. It's a film about time itself, about memories, and nothing I have ever seen quite so brilliantly captures that dreamlike feeling of the passage of time. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
