Terrence Mallick-
The name of one of the wonders of the cinema world. Some call him a magician. He can take even a small scene like breakfast to the stage of art with the power of his extraordinary imagination. Philosophy, deep sense of life - these are the constant accompaniments of his movies. He doesn't make movies to please people. He needs to make it up, he needs to let other people know what he thinks.
"The Tree of Life" is not out of his formula. That is to say, the first Qatar's experimental drama. The content of the movie is the mystery of creation, the effect of nature and beauty in human life, the dilemma that is born in a child as a child, forgiveness, intense remorse for making a wrong decision in life, giving life to one's own book, accepting abnormality etc.
Understand, not a movie that is easily digested. This movie is for you to watch, not for entertainment. I will not say that I like the movie much more. Even after a long time, it seemed boring. But even then the meeting did not stop. Because the whole time in the movie was watching something that I had never seen in a movie before. There is no special storyline in the movie, but its philosophy is very deep. This is a movie that you have to experience first. Whether you like it or not, whether you smile or cry is the next thing. It's unique in its own way. After watching the movie, many people will think it is a waste of time, many people will need a masterpiece, many people will be confused like me again and will keep repeating what they saw in their heads again and again. This is the success of this movie.
Cinematography

When it comes to commenting on the technical aspects of this movie, the first thing that comes to mind is cinematography. I think this is the first time I have seen such breathtakingly beautiful cinematography. Each frame of the movie is like a carefully taken photograph. The visual storytelling of this movie is so successful because of the great cinematography. That is why there is no dialogue
You can stay on the screen for hours. Once upon a time it seemed as if I was watching a documentary on National Geographic. Personally, this is something that has caught my eye a little more. In the middle of watching the movie, when you show the manipulation of space, volcanoes, dinosaurs, visual effects, the attention is lost and an annoyance comes. However, that annoyance has been compensated by the extraordinary background score. The music that was playing at that time with each scene seemed to tell a story. Even after all this, it is not possible to sigh with satisfaction at the end of the movie. Because the end is so vague and the scenes seen before it are so abstract and philosophical that it is difficult to find out what is meant by that.
From this movie you will find a lot of memories of childhood, some heavenly scenes with nostalgia and food for thought.
I myself would not recommend that way to watch the movie as I am a little confused. If you see it, you should see it at your own risk. However, those who love to deal with movies or philosophers, who want to see something unique, they must try.
And if you see it, you will definitely see it in good print (at least 720p blue-ray). Otherwise You can't fully enjoy its visual storytelling.
Thank you for your entry. Not a movie I have seen but it looks fascinating. :)
