"The Tree of Life" It took me three nights to finish watching "The Tree of Life" on and off. It's not that I don't like watching it. On the contrary, every time I see a star and a half, someone interrupts me. I just like this type of movie. I watched it slowly by myself and finally finished it, I recalled all the scenes in the whole movie that I could think of, and held down the feeling of wanting to watch it for the second time. I wanted to code Braille first. The movie seems to be described from two completely different aspects. Regarding what life is, ranging from the origin of the universe to the changes in the origin of species, as small as the life of a person and his parents, unlike most movies that follow the narrative techniques of movies, you can hardly find the step-by-step "routines" in regular movies in this movie. For example, the fixed opening method of World A and World B or the obvious transition between scenes, but the existence of the entire "Hero's Journey" can still be perceived throughout the film. If you look back carefully, it is estimated that I think it's amazing, but for this type of film, I personally think it's better to keep this "atomized" feeling. This feeling is also taught to me by the director, and I can't even see the trace of "saving the cat" in the whole movie. The director and production team don't seem to care whether you like the protagonist or not, but they seem to tell us that each of us is a part of the protagonist of the movie, we have a common growth trajectory, a common mental journey, and a common life confusion, and I don't know if we can change. The complete "Hero's Journey", back to the starting point. Wherever life comes from, it will return to wherever it goes, no matter if it is as grand as the universe or as small as an individual. The seemingly grand universe has nothing to do with us directly, and the seemingly tortuous life of the protagonist is completely out of line with us, but after reading it, I found that it really corresponds to Campbell's words: Myths are collective dreams, and dreams are personal. myth. This sentence is really fully explained in this movie. Writing here, I suddenly remembered a point about the protagonist: Oedipus complex, referred to as Oedipus complex, but in fact, these four-character abbreviations do not A complete overview of this phenomenon, on the contrary, this scene from the ancient Greek mythology story is more complete than this four-character abbreviation, showing in the movie, the commonality in human genes plus the uniqueness of animals for the self domain , and the lack of paternal power that superimposes the secretion of puberty hormones but has not been better guided, and the research and display of human nature and the commonality of human beings are incisively and vividly. I have to say that Terrence Malick, who is both the director and the screenwriter, is very high. Watching this movie is purely for the sake of being "good-looking". It can also be viewed from the perspective of the tree of life, whether it is deep or shallow, regardless of right or wrong, regardless of national borders and races, but no matter from which point of view it can be said, this is all. is a good movie
