Why?

I finally saw this film at I have never had such a visceral feeling from a film. It seemed almost like it was made for me as I was raised very catholic with a strict father and my younger brother was unfortunately killed when he was 21. I have struggled with how I look at religion and large existential questions most of my life and I have never seen them depicted in such a way, with such grace that I was forced to tears. I'm not sure I know anything more than before I saw it but I definitely have gained a sense of myself and my place amongst not only my fellow man but life in general in all its tragic beauty. I wish I could put it to words better but I'm no philosopher or writer. I'm sure others can put it better but it reminds me of when we were taught about the holy spirit, the piece of god within us and everyone and everything that is the thread between us all.

I sometimes listen to this when writing. Makes me feel like my writing is the most important shit in the known universe.

Terrence Malick gave us the key to interpret this movie right in the beginning. There are two paths: the path of Grace and the path of Nature. Clearly spiritual, this movie displayed the spiritual struggle of a mother searching for answers by asking God (this scene, visually and sonorically astounding), the earthly reaction of a more materialistic father to loss of his son, the indecision and struggle between good and evil in the oldest son. So deep yet so simple and clear. Incredible movie. Marvelous movie.

Nature is greedy in itself. Not being able to elevate itself above itself, it tries to survive in any possible way. Grace is divine, it comes to rescue those that ask for it. Only with Grace mankind is able to elevate itself to the divine, making it able to accept insults and injuries, making it possible to really love every man, everywhere. :)

Hope you're doing better. Though it may seem stupid to some (grieving an animal), those of us who know what these creatures can bring to your life will understand. I've lost my 15 years old cat a year ago, and it still hurts sometimes. She was there for me during a very difficult time of my life, I had quit school, had no job and no friends, I thought I was worthless. But the amount of love she gave me back made me think that, maybe, I wasn't that bad of a person. She alone kept me afloat, and I'll be forever grateful. Even though she lived a very good and fairly long life (so the pain is somewhat lessened), and I'm happy with where I am today, I still miss her.

That bell… followed by one of the most haunting vocals I’ve heard.. with some of the awe inspiring visuals there are.

Most beautiful film ever.

Ossian M its ambiguity is, ironically, essential to understanding it. it reflects the incompleteness of human understanding, but he's invoking, more or less, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. it's highly existential in nature. on another note, without confusing those who aren't familiar with Kierkegaard and Heidegger, put plainly (and perhaps uncharitably, since no one should summarize Tree of Life in this way), the film is mainly about two things: the birth of the universe, and its death; and, juxtaposed to that, the birth of a human, and perhaps implied, his death. I know, I know, this was already obvious. But, the film is also about how all humans are something divine, and how they will eventually return to something divine. This isn't religious in the sense of being Christian or Islamic, etc, but a monotheistic view is definite here. Whether you're a theist, or an atheist, his views are very plausible and even enlightening. I've been an atheist my entire life, but I've always thought there's a small chance that what we call god, may exist in some form, but not in the one that any religion comprehends. This is the type of God that Malick tries to show. In a nutshell, this is how I read Malick. If I remember correctly, the last shot of the film is a shot of a bridge. It's important, because the main character is an architect, but God classically is referred to as the divine architect. The divine attributes are shown to be in man as well. It's interesting, too, that the film begins with a quote from the Book of Job that solely refers to God as laying the foundations of the earth. Sounds architectural, does it not?

This is one of those movies that you don’t really understand until you’ve had that moment in your life where everything comes into focus as confusing and trance like. Sorta like how when you say a word over and over and it gets weird. Its the feeling when you think about existence too much.

The hauntingly beautiful Lacrimosa by Zbigniew Preisner - Elzbieta Towarnicka soprano. ( Images from The Tree of Life movie)

Very moving, one of the most mystic and sacred music I've ever heard. Imagine the whole Preisner's record called "Requiem for my Friend" was a tribute for Krzysztof Kieslowski, the famous Polish director (The Three Colors Trilogy, The Decalogue)... Indeed, he had to be genuine friend if something like that was dedicated directly to him.

Why do so many people hate this film? It's not pretentious, or even particularly difficult to understand. It all stems from the quote at the beginning and compares the way of grace with the way of nature.

this song makes me feel like my soul is going to break out of my chest

It is incredibly poignant how, in the movie, we are placed into the life and workings of individual humans in their most complex form, and, all of a sudden, we are pulled out in thrown into the simplicity of original life and its beginnings.

For me, this is the most beautiful and meaningful video on KZread - a true piece of art.

Looking at all the movies coming out with their special effects, I'm inclined to think the special effects animators took a deep sigh of relief when tasked to make this movie. So simple, and yet so profound

Reminds me of JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion in particular the creation of The Two Trees of Valinor.
