In the history of the history of cinematography, films have done and imagined all that the brain could’ve seemingly tried to conceive and conjugated into it’s chasms and abyss but yet,Terrence Malick , in this dramatic drama full of hidden and mysterious psuedo-meanings alongside real and intent meanings, managed to pull out a modern-day Mona Lisa. In the expanse of almost two and a half hours LIFE was created , a life was born, LIFE ended, and a life was unborn.
Everything mattered in this movie even the nature scenes and the little moments in life that we take for granted and it was in those miniscule details that made this movie great and set it apart from all the rest. Yes, nature, watching it over and over can get repetitive, Yes, LIFE, in general ,can get boring but this movie defied ,and had a complete disregard for the laws of cinematics and broke them all like Newton did physics.
The movie challenged life from the Age of the Cosmos and Jurassic to the Womb and it won. It had the audacity to challenge the audience’s emotion from going to the edge and back and it won. You may watch a movie once a think it’s dumb but you’ll know it’s good the second
time but this movie you may watch it once you may watch it twice you may watch it three times but still,the fourth time you’ll still never understand what’s behind that smile that is The Tree of Life. In the end, it’s earned it’s Palme d’Or at Cannes and it’ll earn my Two Thumbs Up!
