Review of The Tree of Life (2011) by Peter G — 20 Jan 2013

What is life? Life is everything. What is The Tree of Life? The Tree of Life is life, it is everything, The Tree of Life is not a movie, it's an experiment. I completely loved The Tree of Life, I understood what Terrence was trying to do and he did a marvelous film that has a purpous. The Tree of Life is the defenition of 'life', I guess only some people will understand it and actually love it, for who complained about the large quantity of showing nature and images, well, those persons didn't uderstand, cause I knew exactly what Terrence wanted to do and he did a terrific job. I'm not going to lie that The Tree of Life is a strange movie, but I just loved it, I was sitting and looking at the screen during 2 hours that describe everything that life is. I highly recommend it, it's not a near-perfect movie, it's a perfect movie. The Tree of Life is a fantasticly well directed movie, it's very well-acted, it's amazingly written, it has terrific soundtrack, it has a perfect achievement in cinematography and the storyline is masterpieceful. The Tree of Life is a perfect movie with 3 Oscar Nominations, including for Best Picture and it's a terrific experience and it shows that nothing lasts forever, it shows the age of dinossaurs ended and who knows if the age of humanity will end someday, The Tree of Life is about life, death and much other real things. Overall, he The Tree of Life is life in movie, I loved everything about it, it's now one of my favorite movies and I'll never forget it, so as its fantastic quotes. "The nuns thaught us that there were two ways through life - the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to chose wich one you'll follow." "Brother. Keep us. Guide us. To the end of time." "The only way to be happy is to love. Unless you love, your life will flash by." Terrific movie.

Terrence Malick directed and wrote The Tree of Life, his work was absolutely amazing, I mean, I only have a few words to describe the terrific work that he's done, the way he made it was in a master way, the only way to see how is work was terrific is to only check this masterpiece. Brad Pitt was amazing, sometimes we can dislike his character but his performance as a very disciplinarian father is just amazing, Brad is known from Se7en, Inglorious Basterds, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fight Club, Meet Joe Black, Megamind, Moneyball and some other movies. Sean Penn was no big deal, he had just an okay performance, this kind of role couldn't get no one an Oscar, Sean is known from 21 Grams, Mystic River, Milk and some other movies. Jessica Chastain is amazing playing a good mother, I loved her performance and this was a great way to show her talent, Jessica is known from The Help, The Debt, Take Shelter and some other movies. Sow, as you can see the cast was fantastic, I mean, Pitt, Penn and also Chastain that showed to be very talented, I loved all the performances. None of the performances were suposed to stand out but some actually did and I loved that, Brad is great and Chastain has a great way to enter the 'famous' world. The kids didn't bring anything great but some of them were still okay and made think that they cast the young kids well. Now, I'd like to be a bit more specific at two performances, let's start off with Brad Pitt, sow, sometimes I actually hated his character alot, he was a stupid person, but, he did stick to his role and he was great. Jessica Chastain was amazing as a concerning mother who usually quotes some beutiful lines, I loved her role. Amazing cast.

1950. Mr. O'Brien (Brad Pitt) and Mrs. O'Brien (Jessica Chastain) is a married couple with three kids. The eldest son, Jack, the son who has the most complicated relationship with his disciplarian father, starts to lose innocence. When Jack gets to adult (Sean Penn), he starts to seek answers to the mening of life and flashbacking his old and complicated life.(What I thought about the plot) I loved the plot, finally a decent script that really definse life, I just loved it, it was amazingly written, the characters were very interesting and what I can say is that Terrence did a terrific job with this wonderful script. I loved the script involving the rise of dinossaurs, it was just fantastic and the script also involved other amazing things, like the begining and the ending, it's all amazing and I think this was a genius script and I loved it alot and if you ever want to get answers about life, if you want to know what life is, than don't hesitate on watching The Tree of Life or finding some way of reading its script. Overall, The Tree of Life has a magnificent story and altough I didn't read it, I'm pretty sure the movie is so beutiful as the story is, cause the movie is perfect, the movie is a masterpiece. Terrific plot.

Soundtrack, well, the soundtrack was amazing, I loved every theme that just has everything to with the movie. I think they did a great job. The achievement in cinematography was terrific, I mean, there was a lot of scenes where we were just looking at pictures but it was completely worth it, because the pictures were amazing.

Besides all that, I am now going to tell you what I really thought about this movie. First of all, The Tree of Life is aproved by me that it's the meaning of life, it has everything to do with life and I just loved this movie and I mean, the quote "Unless you love, life will flash by." was just absolutely terrific and I don't think that's one of the things that better describes the movie, it also describes life and I'm going to tell you something honest, I'm currently deeply in love and when it started, in a Thursday, I winded up being crazy about her and in the next weekend, when I wasn't next to her, I suffered a lot and I can obviously say that that was the longest weekend of my entire life, and then, at the end of the weekend, when I watched her again, I was just crazy, I was finally looking at the thing that made me suffer for two very long days, wich was worth for, sow, yes, I loved that quote and I loved this movie too much to be truth. Overall, The Tree of Life is a complete masterpiece, it has an amaizng cast, it's very well acted, it's terrificly directed, it's terrifcly written, it has an amazing sundtrack, it has a terrific achievement in cinematography and it's very entertaining, I highly recommend it, this is not a movie, this is experiencing for 2 hours, the meaning of what you do... live. The Tree of Life: 10/10. Terrific.

Terrific movie. Extremely recommended movie, 100% recommended movie. Grade: A+.
