      The Tree of Life--Where There Is Family Is Home

      The documentary said that the origin of human beings came from the sea, but suddenly felt that it should come from a big tree.

      When she said goodbye to the previous "happiness," she curled up like a baby in the winding and sturdy roots of the big tree. She was just a child.

      No matter how short life is, it is a drop of water flowing into the river

        Counting the one I just watched, I have watched the movie "The Tree of Life" 4 times. This time, do I understand?

        After 4 times, have I understood Terrence Malik's amazing work "The Tree of Life", let's talk about it again. What is certain is that the first time I played it 5 years ago, I was in a fog. I didn't know what story the director told in 2 hours and 45 minutes. And many fans like me who went to Brad Pitt, the star of the movie, were like me,...

      How much stream of consciousness is needed to allow sadness to flow into consciousness.

      Whenever I want to escape, I want to escape to where in my dream. There are mountains, rivers and seas in the movie. Occasionally, my heart escapes to a beautiful place, but my heart is still trapped in the family. I always want to wear off my strict father, or say Father's sternness.

      The father of the male protagonist has ambitions but always fails. In the face of adversity in his career, he has no room for his bad temper to be revealed in his...

      redemption from nihilism

      The mood after watching this is similar to watching "Youth and Vigorous" before, it is very calm and very shocking.

      Starting from the male protagonist's dream of his younger brother who died early, he recalled his mother who couldn't get rid of the pain of losing a child in middle age and his childhood growth experience.

      Terrence believes in Christianity and is an existentialist. He presents various images in life and...

      A very unique perspective to explore the origin and end of life. The narrative method is too self-indulgent, and people have to have the urge to avoid it. But the photography of the whole film is quite good, and it can even be said that the picture supports the whole...

      The director's camera narration is very beautiful, there is not much dialogue, most of them are intermittent, and the plot is also very loose, relying on the actors' expressions, demeanor, and actions to briefly outline the emotional changes, contradictions and changes of everyone in a family. The previous pictures of the evolution of life on earth and human life are matched with the real beauty of classical music. It really requires at least 1280 resolution to watch this...

      Beautiful, warm and touching. Euphemistically, subtly and eloquently, under the principle of minimalist narrative, based on the grand thinking of the meaning of life, the ultimate philosophy, and the universe, and then pulled back to the emotional history of an ordinary human family, they echo each other and integrate into one. . The images about the universe, planets, all things, and ecology are simply breathtaking, Terrence re-shoots a sacred and otherworldly poetic film for human...

      beauty. poetry. warmth. Life. It is as if he is floating in the universe, wandering, pursuing, without an end, without a goal. Time loses its meaning, and billions of years are fleeting; space has no end, thousands of light-years are just a minute away. The top shock of sight and hearing is that I can't understand what it...

    Evaluation action

    The film is full of philosophical inner monologues and beautiful and imaginative images. Terrence Malick's understanding and expressiveness of images and music is admirable. The most moving thing about his images is not the beauty of the colors and composition, but the vitality of each frame. Malik has upgraded the simple physical movement to the artistic level of scene scheduling. The diffusion and deep movement of the material in the...
