Taking A Look At The Movie "Tree Of Life"

With the summer movie season now fully upon us, you will be seeing previews for a lot of big-budget blockbusters, but you will also be seeing previews and reading reviews for the movies that appeal to the "other" crowd of moviegoers - the crowd for whom the November/December movie season of "Academy Awards contenders" is the best movie time of the year. And if one of your eyes has been trained on the area of "movie buzz" lately, you have probably come across a lot of material on Tree of Life - the new Terrance Malick film that stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, and that won the prestigious Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival; if you have heard of this movie and are interested in seeing it, here are a few things you should know about the movie first!

Before reading anything further about this movie, it will be helpful for you to realize that there is a good chance people will still be talking about this movie in twenty or thirty years, but at the moment, there is no way to tell whether this movie will be viewed down the road as a groundbreaking game-changer, or as a thoroughly catastrophic experiment in moviemaking!

You should know that Brad Pitt (while giving a tremendous acting performance) has hardly any lines in the whole movie, and Sean Penn is hardly in the movie at all - so if you are attracted to this movie because of the names it boasts, you might want to wait for something else.

When you go into this movie, you should fully expect an original, unusual, and sometimes frustrating cinematic experience; as long as you go into the movie knowing that it is a thoroughly unconventional adventure in filmmaking, you will be far less likely to leave the movie frustrated (as many others already have!), and will be able to appreciate the movie for what it is. After all, the majority of audiences seem to hate this movie, while the majority of critics seem to love it, and if nothing else, the movie is worth seeing so that you can see what side you are on, and so that you can say twenty or thirty years from now that you saw the movie when it first came out.
