Watched The Tree Of Life again today. 10/10 rocket frogs. God I love this movie, and find deeper connections and more allusions to other films and books each time I watch it.

Visually, it's a great movie.

But the story is just, bleeugh.

And it's overwhelmingly pretentious, but that's to be expected from Terrance Malik.

 

And it doesn't have any rockin' 50s tunes in the 1950s segments, which was disappointing. This movie needed a bit more Fats Domino and Bill Haley. But that's probably just personal taste.

 

Like 2001: A space Odyssey, I view this film as more a motion painting, than a motion picture. If that makes sense...
