    Literary film + material tape + religious color, the mother believes that she is devout to God, but God took the life of the youngest son. Her faith almost collapsed, and she began to question God's "answer me?!" This led to the extended theme of "Job", God created the world, and the beginning of man, endless life and reincarnation. This is the natural law of the universe. In the human heart, only love and peace of mind are eternal. Mother no longer questioned God, "I entrust my son to...

    After a year of forbearance, I finally fulfilled my desire to watch on the big screen. Since I wrote the first draft about it in 2009, I haven't really read it until now, and I'm really moved. Although I am satisfied, I have doubts about whether to read it...

    96/100, an extremely beautiful tribute to life, classical music + a lot of elevation shots, not only the most primitive awe of life, but also the oppression of people in modern society. Malick erased all the hypocritical superficial things, and used the purest images to show the discussion of life and human nature. The representative of life - water is always flowing in the image, human beings come from water (a house filled with water - the womb), and finally water. In the end, the cry of...

    It is one thing to have philosophical thinking about life, but it is another thing to photograph this kind of philosophical thinking. This is not an acquired ability, but is completely "gifted". People cannot become gods, but they can use this kind of ability. A kind of "talent" to approach God; of course, it also uses "water" as the main item to express the philosophy of life. Old Ta is more like the "chosen son" than Ma...

    9.5 How exactly does our consciousness move and how is our life structured? To answer these two ultimate propositions, Malick constructs images in a way that is close to the flow of consciousness and has vital signs. So far, the image is no longer just the carrier of life perception consciousness. Image has become life itself. It is like a long river, the dead are like this, and they will never go back. One of the most unique is the most common of all, one of the greatest movies of this...

    Some scenes were shot really hard. For example, in order to let the audience understand the miracle of life, Malick did not hesitate to use awkward animation special effects to resurrect the "dinosaur". This kind of processing of sacrificing the integrity of the image is not as clever and easy as "a monkey" in "Super Body" and "the pioneer who died in the wasteland" in "Ghostbusters". But it is undeniable that this pre-philosophical film has a high degree of completion. The collision of the...

    Originally, mountains and rivers, extremely life vegetation, pitched the big universe, and a small inner heart, fluttering like a seagull in the world. Image stream of consciousness, loneliness and self-talk, manic depression and turmoil, uneasy in rebelliousness, blowing trees with the wind, going with the river, and in the end, I am completely evacuated, and there is desolation in front of me, a reincarnation, just to...

    Master's Long-winded

    The master's long-winded

    film The famous filmmaker Terrence Malick is an uncompromising master of "slow work and careful work". In a full 40 years, only 5 films have been made. This is like snails and oriole birds compared to some highly productive dagu. But this did not affect the respect of...

    "You put me in a very deep pit, in a dark place, in the depths."

    Compared with Herzog's "New Genesis", which also wants to clarify and approach God, "Eternal Tree" actually has Brad Peter, which can be said to be the Hollywood version of "New Genesis", not to mention that the director is actually very concerned about the audience's heavy taste. I also...

The Tree of Life quotes

  • Mrs. O'Brien: [voice over] The nuns taught us there are two ways through life: the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it, too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it, when love is smiling through all things. They taught us that no one who loves the way of grace ever comes to a bad end. I will be true to you. Whatever comes.

  • Title Card: 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? -Job 38:4-7
