Brad Pitt Climbs Tree of Life

yeah, the way i see this playing out is with a structure like 2001: a space odyssey where it starts with dinosaurs as a way of establishing a theme, then it'll flash forward.
 
Rumors suggest that the film actually follows a shape shifting immortal dinosaur that turns into Sean Penn on weekends and has to struggle with his powerful desire for human flesh, which tastes better than pizza hut.

the kid in the red shirt is amazingly believable as Pitt's son
 
It seems one of the kids was imitating/mocking his father in that scene. Brad Pitt could potentially have a very juicy role here.
 
I'm not entirely sure Brad Pitt will be a likable character. Overbearing father's never are. But if one person could make him likable, it's Terrence Malick.
 
that would have been way more awesome if they edited the credits at the bottom.
 
People on twitter are saying there was loud booing at the end of the first screening. They're also talking about how little of a narrative there is. Doesn't that describe all of his films? Hopefully after all of the BEST MOVIE EVAR stuff about this movie dies down, more people will start to realize Malick can't tell an emotional story for ****.

Others are saying the accounts of booing are exaggerated and that it got drowned out or at least evenly matched by applause. Malick's films are emotional, they're just not conventional narratives.
 
Apparantly the booing sounded orchestrated, started almost immediately from distinct sections of the crowd. The American critics have been heaping praise on it so far.
 
This starts showing here tomorrow already. I'll have to check it out ASAP, cause I want to know as little about it as possible beforehand.
 
So, I've seen it. Pretty much unwatchable, I hated it. I don't even know if I can call this a film at all. It's definately one of those hate it or love it films, and I'm sure that a lot of people can dig it, but it's really, really not my cup of tea.

Can I ask you to explain what you mean?

Yeah, ofcourse ;) I'm going to put it in spoiler tags though, I'm not gonna spoil anything, I just don't want to influence other people before they watch the film. :) So, read it if you like.

For me, the movie was unbearable to watch because, there are hardly any real scenes. It's pretty much steadycamshot after steadycamshot of people walking around, and of shadows on the wall and things like that. And every time that it looked like a real scene was about to begin, the next ''scene'' began. The movie as a whole was completely incoherent for me. I guess I can see what Malick was going for, but I just don't like that kind of movies. I saw all the right ingredients for a very good movie, but it never really comes together.
