The Tree of Life (2011)
Nothing stands still.
The impressionistic story of a Texas family in the 1950s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.

Not exactly what the trailer shows… I'm a bit confused.
Basically I'd say "it's bad". If you really want to see it, go to the theater, otherwise you won't stand for 2 hours in front of your computer. It's horribly boring in the beginning. I'm sure the two parts of the movie are somehow related but I didn't get it and unless you're on drugs (or the director, or both — which would explain a lot), you won't either.
Nothing to say about the cast or the way the movie is made, but I think it's missing something fundamental, something concrete. The whole thing is fuzzy. If there's a message, I didn't receive it.
And please tell me why the fuck did I see dinosaurs in the first part?!
I absolutely loved it.
The part picturing their childhood is so beautiful... Made me really feel nostalgic for mine.
I agree that some parts (if not all) of the movie are strange. Going from space to the inside of a cell, to dinosaurs... but I think that each of them tries to approach a theme in its own way.
You should try not to think too hard about some scenes and their meaning, and just enjoy the experience.
Astonishingly beautiful photography; astonishingly boring film. My advice? download all those beautiful pictures in a Full-HD wallpaper pack, but skip the movie, unless you want two and a half hours full of off-camera whispers, spirituality and... DINOSAURS, which I'm sure are related somehow to the rest of the movie, but I guess I was too busy yawning to notice.
BTW: pretentious directors, PLEEEEEEEASE stop using Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor in your soundtracks. It stopped being original fifteen years ago. Now, it's a cliche.
