Totally agree...I always thought I could encompass all things with my art...but...this movie is the greatest...Malick did that...chills and tears...

Heaven was a cover-up We could've done much better Than blue weather Orange thumbs and A blood red I gather from The matrix of Hades and A little from the bride to be Like seas in the streets Say Shark On your mark Christ harkened a Wholesome orphan gone numb Almost quite that was what you heard of Coming from

I don't know where you are from.. I'm from india.. art connects us.. art connects the world

And this movie is the greatest form of Art...

Art comes from the soul, money and ego from the mind, that's why we fucked up but still have the ability to change.

Art was created by God, not humans.

Art is not an achievement

You should watch Hidden Life - that one is his best IMO

Both are 2 of the most beautiful films I've ever seen

I agree.

+Camille Victoria Vega I'd like to rewatch the movie and sometimes I consider it, but given the sheer amount of melancholy and childhood memories...and also it's so loooooong

+Knight Brienne (Brienne of Tarth) yes, it isn't a film meant for multiple viewings. For me, it is sort of a visual poem through its imagery/cinematography. If that makes sense. Wish I experienced it in the theaters.

Camille Victoria Vega Yes it does make sense and I agree. Think in cinema I would have needed to go alone to fully concentrate on it.

It is really a testament to the power of storytelling to unlock such strong emotions, and for something to get so close to our soul.

Why?

I like listening to it as I fall asleep 😊

+BabaYaga Know this feeling :) I like to listen to Egmont Overture for this too, lol.

You & I are one in the same

Kyle It can be

And afterwards being ashamed to find the word "toiletpaper" on the shoppinglist.

If you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and raised to life on the third day, you will be saved. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ❤

@@lordthetir lol

oh, i thought lacrimosa = tears is the film saying life is just meaningless pain. 🤷🏼‍♂️ in other words: malick and lubezki tried to covey here that its all up to us, becase he doesnt care.

God asks Great Dark Mother: - "Who are we to you?". This whole sequence is Mother's answer: - "You are everything: - time; space; the stars; creation; love; life; death". Stunning.

I actuality cried in the cinema watching this sequence in awe, never had a piece of film left such an impact on me, a message of emotion surged through me beyond words, time and space

Just try to acknowledge the fact that we will not see more or learn more once we die...all the things we will not live to see

Total agreement...you want to always capture everything in art...no other film than this has done it...to my knowledge...very important film...the relationships are just scathing...the love raw and stripped down... A damn wonderful piece of work...

You are probably very right...in my opinion, anyway

Or the last 20 minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey

more like greed vs nature.

Nature is greedy in itself. Not being able to elevate itself above itself, it tries to survive in any possible way. Grace is divine, it comes to rescue those that ask for it. Only with Grace mankind is able to elevate itself to the divine, making it able to accept insults and injuries, making it possible to really love every man, everywhere. :)

i know SO MEANY

This is the soundtrack of the beginning of the world.

Nah,this is soundtrack for the time and space.

works for both :)

I think that that is the juxtaposition Mallick was going for: Playing a lacrimosa (the tears of the mother at the funeral (the requiem)) at the creation or birth of everything.

any supposed "end" is only ever a new beginning, Energy does what? changes form and goes on always.

Hope you're doing better. Though it may seem stupid to some (grieving an animal), those of us who know what these creatures can bring to your life will understand. I've lost my 15 years old cat a year ago, and it still hurts sometimes. She was there for me during a very difficult time of my life, I had quit school, had no job and no friends, I thought I was worthless. But the amount of love she gave me back made me think that, maybe, I wasn't that bad of a person. She alone kept me afloat, and I'll be forever grateful. Even though she lived a very good and fairly long life (so the pain is somewhat lessened), and I'm happy with where I am today, I still miss her.

agreed!

Won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, acknowledged by many to be a masterpiece. Disliked by some but not exactly underrated.

I'm gonna cry...

Ha ha! What a story, Mark!

HawkeyeNextGen If a lot of people loved Jesus, the Father and the Holy Ghost, loving each other is quite easy, and the world would change.

Tyson Smith someone hasn’t watched the room

The meteor hitting Earth says, "Am fed AHP wit dis worl!"

Malick has not really commented on the meaning of the film - as of now, it is what you make of it.

lowkontrast Open text just like its predecessor, 2001 A Space Odyssey.

isnt that was this film is about, not understanding. You can't expect to get any groundbreaking answers from it (why would terrance malick be a better man for that than anyone else). just appreciate the melancholy and probable hopelessness in human efforts to make sense of it all.

Ossian M its ambiguity is, ironically, essential to understanding it. it reflects the incompleteness of human understanding, but he's invoking, more or less, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. it's highly existential in nature. on another note, without confusing those who aren't familiar with Kierkegaard and Heidegger, put plainly (and perhaps uncharitably, since no one should summarize Tree of Life in this way), the film is mainly about two things: the birth of the universe, and its death; and, juxtaposed to that, the birth of a human, and perhaps implied, his death. I know, I know, this was already obvious. But, the film is also about how all humans are something divine, and how they will eventually return to something divine. This isn't religious in the sense of being Christian or Islamic, etc, but a monotheistic view is definite here. Whether you're a theist, or an atheist, his views are very plausible and even enlightening. I've been an atheist my entire life, but I've always thought there's a small chance that what we call god, may exist in some form, but not in the one that any religion comprehends. This is the type of God that Malick tries to show. In a nutshell, this is how I read Malick. If I remember correctly, the last shot of the film is a shot of a bridge. It's important, because the main character is an architect, but God classically is referred to as the divine architect. The divine attributes are shown to be in man as well. It's interesting, too, that the film begins with a quote from the Book of Job that solely refers to God as laying the foundations of the earth. Sounds architectural, does it not?

Ed Sakowsky Beautifully put man.

Every time.

And all the great things that come with gazing toward the heavens (things discovered and taught) After we pass away...

what were the 2 others?

Nowhere near one of the best movies. Check Tarkovsky.

Christopher Pederson not one of the best...THE best. As far as Tarkovsky, I couldn't care less.

***** I won't argue with you. I just watched it last night as a matter of fact, and kept thinking, "man, this was 1968!" what a perfect, perfect film.

vennie brice what napolean dynamite?! that's amazing.

peter gibson Napoleon is up there...but not quite the best.

you are forgiven my friend

William H. Bonney And Christ a perfectly decent one!

best way to describe this.... dear Universe, please see this

apology? solid slave morality you have in there

Shut the fuck up Nietzsche

Good, you've seen true detective.

Jusy because he is using Central shots that doesn't makes him the next Kubrick

@@xarmanhskafragos2516 the master and phantom thread are really kubrickian

+MadHatter loved the film

+MadHatter Many people nowadays are not used to think about the deep meaning of something.

+MadHatter My view on those people is that they can't understand what malick wanted to say (which is perfectly fine), but they also forbid themselves to make something for themselves out of it, which is a shame, because film is suppose to be subjective. This leaves them frustrated; caught alone between two fires.

+Miguel Machado It's sad at how dumbed down society has become

become? If anything it'd be smarter than it used to be.

What's the movie about? Tell me without spoiling it. Please? :)

Steve Sunny It is about life... strangely enough it captures the essence from broad universal perspective right down to the most intimite and subtle workings of human mind, growing up, dealing with issues. It is more abstract movie, its most powerfull message for me was the resonance with what I was able to see in it... I can't describe it to you any better... =)

Oh okay. I'll give it a shot. Thanks :)!

Well there is also lacrimosa by mozat , and there is the flower duet which has kindof the same style/vibe I guess ! Greatings from Belgium

Thanks, but I know both of them already :)

Yes, there are few. For an example : Mozart - Great mass in c minor and Gustav Mahler's 8th Symphony (Final Movement).

Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3.

Dang, well there's a lot of other amazing pieces out there, but if you haven't heard Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" I'd give it a listen. I also second Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3, so beautiful.

do you think you are great enough to deserve this to be played at ur funeral ?

Why not? And i can still be great life is full of suprises

Does it really matter what is played at your funeral? Its kind of neurotic to be thinking of what people will think of you even when you are already dead.

Jealous guy perhaps

Ricardo Reis Well it is furneal music, so that would be fitting =)

wat?
