reconciliation

To be honest, I didn't understand. A film that requires patience to watch. Fortunately, there are many images that resonate with people: big trees, walking alone in the forest, fingers across the air and branches, organs, babies, lava, sea, and crowds. . .
It all begins with a stretched soul, grows, struggles, perplexes, conflicts, hates, perplexes, forgives, liberates, hopes, and ends with this soul.

Are the crowds and walks by the sea at the end the director's vision of paradise?

Does everyone have the opportunity to reconcile with themselves in this life like the protagonists?

At least reconciliation is the real desire behind all the struggles

    3.5 The second time I watched it, I felt a little less contrived, and some of the clips were so good that it was like a searchlight searching for wreckage on the ocean floor—the characters’ feelings and the camera’s description of the perceptible feelings were intertwined. But I really feel that when Malick wanted to shoot such a genius stream of consciousness, he only separated part of his feelings from the characters, but he was still obsessed with letting the old narrative organization (again, Freud's set) exist. , should be more thorough.

    It is one thing to have philosophical thinking about life, but it is another thing to photograph this kind of philosophical thinking. This is not an acquired ability, but is completely "gifted". People cannot become gods, but they can use this kind of ability. A kind of "talent" to approach God; of course, it also uses "water" as the main item to express the philosophy of life. Old Ta is more like the "chosen son" than Ma Daxian.
