Starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life traces the lives of a family in the 1950s and growing up in that family.
Jack, one of three brothers being raised in the Midwest, finds his first conflict of life when he tries to reconcile his mother’s life of grace and love with his father’s life of being strong and putting yourself first.
I haven’t seen any of Terrence Malick’s other films, but if even half of the claims made by his fans are true, then this is certainly a movie you do not want to miss out on.
