Product Description
From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as BADLANDS, DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE THIN RED LINE, THE TREE OF LIFE is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. 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 (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

So much of Malick's narrative sense asks you to imagine plot points - It begins with mourning a son we've never yet met who has died at nineteen. It suddenly moves to offices of a prosperous architect. You connect him to the oldest son, and eventually realize he's taken in all the lectures of his frustrated failure of a father, and reaped fortune from them. At one point he apologizes for words they had over the phone about the funeral. What were they? You must imagine--perhaps "you always loved him more than me." It's clear the hostility still boils. Also, central to the truth of the story is the way perfectly well-meaning parents can develop toxic relations with one child only because the dynamics are off. Malick is very aware of this.
Days of Heaven is the Malick film where so many of the visual ideas of the film were taking shape. The dramatic use of montage and movement and imagery - with minimum dialogue- are all some of the hallmarks of pure cinema. Here he goes as far as he can,
just sticking with emotional energy and imagery and composing a world of moments the way they would swirl in your head if you were remembering your life.
When I see so many one star reviews from angry film goers, I really sympathize. Very many intelligent film goers remain in a comfortable world where originality, poetic vision, and a type of spiritual overview of life has very little meaning or worth. It's all pretentious, boring nonsense. This movie is one which pushes you out of your comfort zone.
I, for one, am grateful that such a film exists. I am absolutely certain it will lead others toward inspired film making of the future.
If you're looking for a movie in any traditional sense, with a plot and a story progression, then I wouldn't look here. The movie is more like a singular artistic statement. It's something I would expect to see playing in a museum, like when you go to an art exhibit and around some corner there are people sitting watching a short film.
The movie is full of dramatic landscapes, beautiful images and really well done camera work. You end up caring about some the characters as you explore their being.
I'm kind of a simple "love and honor" sort of guy and it's possible a lot of this movie went over my head but I felt better and re-energized somehow for watching it.
But rather than being a blanket tragedy, there is every day joy carefully woven into the story as well. Even the difficult father is a complex character who sometimes shows genuine remorse for the way he treats the boys. The mother models how to forgive and how to find joy in hard circumstances. As other reviewers have said, it’s not your typical movie, but is its own distinct viewing experience that is as rich as it is unique.

Oh the disappointment! To be fair the film starts off quite ok. I was intrigued by the aforementioned sequence and my mind was filled with philosophical wonders. Great! This film may be quite good after all! Then the 1950’s American family became the predominant focus. I patiently followed the plot and then I checked the time and wondered where it was all going. Eventually I got so bored that I hit the fast forward button and got to the ending. Oh dear. Without any spoilers all I will say is that my initial apprehension towards the film was fully justified. I stopped the film, put in back in it’s cover and swiftly disposed of it in my recycle bin. I don’t think I had every seen anything so shamelessly preachy, pretentiously superficial and nauseating in all my life. My advice would be to avoid this at all costs but if like me you have a strong element of curiosity then at least get it as cheaply as possible. You have been warned.
So here's a review for you, Leave it on the shop shelf.
