Movie description:
Tree of Life is a period piece centred around three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son of two characters witnesses the loss of innocence.We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvellous to the child. He sees as his mother does, with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the world’s way, of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.
Framing this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world’s preparation, each thing appears a miracle precious, incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life.
The story ends in hope, acknowledging the beauty and joy in all things, in the everyday and above all in the family – our first school – the only place that most of us learn the truth about the world and ourselves, or discover life’s single most important lesson.

Was der Ulysses in der Literatur, ist dieser Film in der Filmwelt. Ohne vorherige Infos (z. B. Wikipedia) sollte man sich den Film nicht anschauen! Hervorzuheben ist insbesondere die außergewöhnliche, exzellente Kameraführung. Unbedingt in BD-Qualität ansehen. Wer hier nur hübsche Boys sucht, liegt falsch.
