Tree
Of Life 8/10
I
checked out the movie Tree Of Life with Evie yesterday. I had heard
of this movie but never really wanted to see it. I didn't know what
it was about except that some had mentioned the fact that the visuals
were nice but I did not hear much about the actual story. Evie
explained to me that it was not a linear tale which helped because I
kept wanting to ask questions about what was happening and what was
about to happen.
The
movie stars Brad Pitt as a father that is super strict with his sons.
You witness the birth of all three of his boys with the idea that one
of them is going to die at some point. The mother played by Jessica
Chastain is super sweet to her boys while the father, angry that he
never followed his true passion in life to be a musician tends to
take out the lack of his dream following on the boys, particularly
the oldest. There are also scenes involving Sean Penn as one of the
children as an adult regretful of how he treated his father after the
death of his brother.
At
random moments throughout the film there are scenes of the creation
of the planet, creatures growing, the world ending, the possible
afterlife. All kinds of stuff. This is one of those movies that is
best with someone that has seen it or someone that can talk to you
about it afterward. Visually there are a lot of beautiful scenes and
music that I'll be listening to later on tonight.
