I'm not a native english speaker but It is important for me to leave a comment to share with others what this movie really means to me. I remember when I went to watch it in cinema a couple of years ago for the first time, it was like a revelation, this movies helped me to clarify the question I have always wondered about the meaning of life and the purpose of the universe we live in. I went to watch it 4 times and every time I watched it I cried during and after the movie without being able to really explain the reason why it made me feel so emotional. It is a movie that deeply reached my soul and my heart like no other type of arts ever did before. I felt like this masterpiece was somehow directly speaking to me, understanding me, trying to cheer me up. If I'm writing this comment today, it is because 3 days ago someone I deeply loved had left this world and it's with a freshly opened wound that I'm writing this message. I decided to watch this movie once again tonight and I made the right decision as it soothes my pain and warmed my heart. The person I'm referring to made the decision to put an end to her life herself and I now feel even closer to this movie than ever before as this movie understands and illustrates accurately the pain and the feelings I'm now experiencing in this difficult moment. There is nothing more powerful and wonderful than love in this world. Its light always find its way even in the darkest moment of our lives. This is the message I get from this movie and it is this love I carry for the person I lost that will give me the strength to accept her choice and will also give me the strength to continue to live my life to the fullest and honour her as much as I can, spreading love and kindness all around me. As it is said in this movie, I now leave her in the hands of god where she is now resting in peace for eternity. The funny thing is I do not even believe in god but this movie turned me into what I would call a ''religious atheist'', as crazy as it sounds.. This movie is simply the meaning of life and the meaning of love. A true masterpiece.

I can understand so well what you wrote here. What you feel watching at this movie is something that cannot be described with words. It's just so deep as life it's. That's why it's a revealing film, because it shows life in scenes and images, the pain and confusion of our minds, our childhood wounds and the conditioning that lives in us until we are old. I understand that terrible suffering when someone you love dies, it can be a very revealing pain, and I've been through it too. It would be nice to talk one day with you! I send you a hug William S.

That is the way of humans my friend. Selfishness, jealousy, greed, suffering, all is the way of humans. What we can do is just do our best to survive in this world, because once we are gone, none of these matters anymore. Life is like a spinning wheel, full of ups and downs. Just live everyday with joy, although sometimes that may seem impossible. We are here for a reason, and you should find the reason for yourself.

What prose

This song makes me cry.. If any song should be played at my funeral, I need THIS one to be present.. I need THIS one to be the LAST song they play before I go.

The scene when the earth was created and the showing of the universe, I believe that it was the most beautiful scene I have ever seen

I've never seen such a movie. Totaly different. Great soundtrack

This funeral canticle was composed by John tavener, anyone that felt something on a deep level from this breathtaking piece of music should look up the lyrics for it, John tavener is a genius and in my humble opinion I think an angelic entity inspired him throughout his career, rest in peace John tavener may the Lord be with you and all of us during these end times

This song along with this video make me feel like life is flashing before my eyes

Best movie ever made

This world has so much beauty, so much to offer but all we see is barriers. Malick helps me to remember where we belong.

The house in the film is one block from where I used to live in Smithville, Texas. The movie means a great deal to me.

This is the most touching and the most emotional song I have ever heard in my life and probably won’t hear more than that. I love to play it on my phone threw the earphones when I am at the church.

This movie is the movie that creates me a deep love for the movies, my at the age of 10 don't get to understand the movie, but now with 17 I understand the beauty and the deepest of the movie.

i feel the urge to hug my mom every single time when i listen this music.

Beautiful. As if the angels are descending!

I am so glad this video returned! I used to play it on repeat during my studies for grad school. Thank you, kind soul.

Sublime music to a sublime film. One of my favorite movies of all time.

Absolutely mesmerizing. One of the best films I've ever seen, and by a mile it is visually the best film I have ever seen.

The Tree of Life is a truly religious experience. From the vision to the story, music and themes involved. I can't think of another movie that encompasses life and family.

3:18-3:25 is so short but so incredibly powerful and strongly resonates with me as someone who grew up in a similar setting. Gorgeous film, one of my favorites of all time for sure

Questo film tocca l'anima, un vero Capolavoro...per non parlare di questa musica sublime...

I had a dream yesterday that I was at the beach with my family and this music started playing. It was so beautiful and that made happy all day long :)

I'm so happy to see this video back. One of the most poignant and beautiful things I've ever seen. It ties together so perfectly the importance of humanity, progress and optimism. Thank you!

Mesmerizing.

I saw "2001" when I was 14 in 1968. My reaction to "2001" was the same as your reaction to "Tree of Life." 10, 20, 30 years passed and it dawned on me that I saw the greatest film I was ever going to see at the formative age of 14. And then I saw "Tree of Life" when I was 57 and have felt thankful to be able to have twice felt the emotional power that film as art can convey.

I'm so sad when I'm listening this gift from heaven. I don't know why but I love this sadness, that's makes me such calm, such good, I'm between God and myself. I feel angel's songs, I'm as their. I just want to be in paradise, in accordance with this extraordinary and sublime marvel that are this singing and most of the religious' singings. They raise the soul and make it closer to God and to the perfection. Miles times thank you. In SAECULA SAECULORUM, AMEN.

Saw this movie when i was 14 in 2011... and to watch it several times to understand cus i was to young @ the time... got me through alot... i try to watch this everyday

I watched now over 12000 film and on movie make me cry every time I watched like this one and I watched it 9 time

This film and this song make me want to curl up into a ball and cry. The beauty is too much to take. If there ever is a film that heals your soul, it's this.

Without a doubt one of the most beautifully choreographed films I have had the pleasure of watching.

Godamnit. This song always makes me weep uncontrollably. It's even more powerful set as the backdrop of Malick's breathtaking visuals. I enjoyed the film, but I think most people would struggle to sit through the entire thing and would find it pretentious and full of itself. But this short 5 minute video does a great job summing up the very essence of the film and what Malick was trying to show us. Great work.

This video sums up how I feel when I see the mountains. (And nature in general.) But particularly the mountains. I just moved to from Colorado to Philadelphia for school, and I miss Colorado so much. Wendell Berry has a poem called "The Peace of the Wild Things". And talks about how we can find peace in nature. I think part of this video shows just how profound that peace is.

I'm a strong atheist who loves Choir music :D As such I loved certain parts of The Tree of Life, those dealing directly with the scenes of family life. But the ending was rather hard to take. But this music is just amazingly sublime! :D

I'm a strong atheist too, but I still adore this film, even the faith-based elements. My whole reasoning is that I enjoy "Thor" even though I don't believe in Thor, and I enjoy "Jason and the Argonauts" even though I don't believe in Greek mythology. So I can love a film about faith, like this one, even though I don't believe in the Christian god.

But like I said that's a good attitude to have towards it.

Locut0s You just sort of have to disconnect the film from reality and say, "Okay, this is the world of a movie." Because the Christian god may very well exist in the realm of that film. You have to assume He does, that way you can look at it the same way you'd look at films based on other mythologies and say, "Okay, these gods exist in the realms of these movies, so even though they don't exist in my realm, this is a different world I'm looking at." Even though "The Tree of Life" is set in what looks like our world, it cannot be in our world by virtue of the fact that it's a fictional movie.

Malick taught me well....Malick taught me well..

"Funeral Canticle was written in loving memory of my father. Such was his love of life and people that he constantly surprised us by rallying round when he was thought to be at the point of death. So I wrote this work during the last year of my father's life, in preparation for the interdenominational funeral service that was his wish. My father's funeral was celebrated by Archbishop Gregorios of Thayateira and Great Britain, Archimandrite Father Ephrem and Arch-priest Father Michael Fortunatto, as well as three Pastors from the United Reformed Church, which was the Church of my father's baptism. It was a moving ceremony, with ikons and candles lighting up the church, and, I believe it would have delighted the man who lay in the coffin. Eternal memory - Kenneth. John Tavener"

If having a tough time in life this should be played. It makes you seek beauty in everything. Sir John Tavener you created perfection - Thank you.

I think this film is a masterpiece, it is THE film.

And every time I burst into tears although I don't wanna do it. So thank you Malick for making me experience these emotions....

this is better than the full movie. strange, the full movie is a 2 hours music video clip with breaktalk

Sublimely crafted piece of editing and many thanks to whoever "cobbled this together". Pains me to say this but I think it encapsulates and somehow surpasses the (visionary but deeply flawed) movie.

Beautiful cinematography, beautiful motion picture a masterpice beautiful music score this film is simply beautiful one of the best movies ever

I don't think this movie is a commentary on if the after life exists or not. I think it's more about the mystery of life in general. How we came to be, and the hope that follows afterwards. It looks to me that Terrance Malick has some sort of faith in the Christian religion. There's the quote from Job in "Tree Of Life", and parts of the end where they're walking around in the after-life. Also in his other film "To The Wonder", the film quotes a prayer said by a Catholic priest. The characters relationship in "To The Wonder" seem to symbolize humanity's relationship with each other and God. In his recent films, they seem to be pointing towards the hope of religion, specifically Christianity. I don't really see anything saying. "that afterlife is just one's wish". But I'd love to hear your point because maybe I'm missing something.
