Review:
For me, Tree of Life is a movie that will make you choose whether you like it very much or hate it very much. It’s all because of how the director leading you through the whole story which extraordinary, extreme and a little weird. If you are into this kind of movie with a story that you have to think over and over again, I bet you will like it. If you are not into a documentary style of movie, big drama that have many insides depend on what you see and feel, this movie will make you sleep in a couple minutes or you choose the other way which is walk out from the theater and spread the hate word about this movie.
Tree of Life is a story about life. How you should live your life in a good way. A search in life that will lead you to the darkest time of your life if you made a wrong choice and it will happen otherwise if you made a right choice. It shows us how to learn to be someone good in your life. What’s the bad thing you can’t do and what’s the good thing you should do. You just can’t live your life horizontally but you also should live your life vertically, your connection to God above. God created us and this world on purpose, something you have to search when you are living the life.
I can’t tell you much about the story, you will see it a little weird how the story begins and ends in a very unordinary way. Some of you will see it’s nothing great and even bad. But the way I see it is a little different because I like this kind of movie, and it has something inside. I call it a beautiful movie about life. The script, the story is well done. I can’t say I understand the whole part but I almost get everything from this movie. It successfully makes me think about life, how to live it in a good way. This movie focuses on a family’s eldest son from his birth till his adult life, how he chose to live, the bad way and the good way. He learned why God created a father and a mother, man and woman, love and hate, regret and jealous, etc. It’s really interesting to watch for me and I really enjoy it.
The actors and actress play it emotionally. Brad Pitt is a well-known actor that you all should have already known. He always plays in a great movie, also this one and other Oscar quality movie which is Benjamin Button. He is talented actor who knows how to act and develop his character. Sean Penn, even he doesn’t play at much scenes but he also shows his greatness in acting, you can see how he feels deeply in his way. Jessica Chastain is also great as a good mother who raises her children in a real mother way. The other casts, which play the family’s three sons, are perfectly starred by the kids. They are cute young and talented.
The one I personally give a great credit in this movie is the director itself, Terrence Malick. He is a great director who created Tree of Life. He is the Tree of Life himself. He directs in a beautiful way, the story jump from one scene to another scene in a good way and touch. He is the foundation of the tree and raises it perfectly in his amazing way.
The thing I enjoy the most about this movie is the cinematography. It is really amazing and pretty. The visual arts are beautiful. The scene that describes how earth is created from stars, dusts and solar effect is really awesome. The lava, the wave, the tree, the dinosaur, everything is perfect. It really shows God in His beautiful way created a great earth for us to live with His awesome touch, that makes me think that we should respect and take care of our earth, the God gift in a good way.
Overall, for me, it’s a beautiful movie, no wonder this movie win the Cannes Award this year, and I really enjoy it. I bet this movie will also do great in Oscar next year. This one will be a serious problem for other great movie to compete in Academy Award and Golden Globe. I don’t suggest you to watch it if you don’t like this kind of movie because like I said before, it will just make you sleep and walk out from the theater. I suggest this movie to the movie lovers that really into a big drama, and a movie that you have to think over and over again to get the true meaning of the movie.
Good Points:
- The true meaning of this movie is really great if you can
- The cinematography and visual arts is amazingly beautiful
- The connection between God and Human which is shown in this movie will make us think to live life in a good way.
Bad Points:
- It will make you really confuse if you don’t understand it really well
- Many of you will not like the way the story goes completely in confusing way.
Rating: 8.0/10.0
