Mercredi Orange - Tree of Life

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. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. We see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

Comedies and action are my favourites types of movies, I like to go to the cinema to escape from the real world. I’m not a Harry Potter fan (even thou it is my duty as a daughter to take my Mom at the weekend), and has the boy wizard has taken over all of Boredville’s cinemas. Tree of Life was the only film available. I went with a open mind and a plan of at least staying awake.

I did stay awake and I did stay to the end (some people did walk out). I did enjoy it and after discussing it with MovieMate I think I actually understood it…alittle bit. My view ‘You can’t control life, it's out of your hands - God does’



I give it 2 ½ out of five

Somewhere in between.

It was better than I expected but not my cup of tea. Excellent cinematography but seriously Mr Malick putting old fashioned glasses on Brad Pitt does not age him - didn’t your make-up/special effects team watch Benjamin Button!!

Bored-ville is land-locked so this is the closest I could get to a harbour.
