"You put me in a very deep pit, in a dark place, in the depths."

Compared with Herzog's "New Genesis", which also wants to clarify and approach God, "Eternal Tree" actually has Brad Peter, which can be said to be the Hollywood version of "New Genesis", not to mention that the director is actually very concerned about the audience's heavy taste. I also photographed the universe and dinosaurs (well, it's a bit strange to mention it like this), and the part of the same narration, , sometimes echoes the mood of He Suo, but more often it is far away, and It is epic and timeless, the camera peeks into the world through a diamond-like hole, and sympathizes with mankind from the perspective of God.

"David's external troubles were not as troubled as his inward fears; he was afraid that God would completely forsake him; he wrote, "You put me in a deep pit, in a dark place, in the depths. ' "

story structure is a strict father mother educating three eldest boy's family make the start, middle-aged career in sudden loss, skyscraper city glass curtain truss building he stared a bit weak The green tree, like a stream of consciousness, was directed by the director to the universe. The nourishment of life and the hegemony of the earth in the age of dinosaurs appeared at the beginning of the flood and the era of dinosaurs. Dinosaur animation is abrupt among many online film reviews, but I personally feel that That is the difference in world view. The history of the world should be included in a wide range, and the size of the scope varies from person to person. The "Best Time" can only be compared for more than 50 years, while the "Eternal Life Tree" is vast and can be extended for hundreds of millions of years or light. year.

It begins with in the opening credits, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?", which translates as "I laid the foundations of the earth?" When were you there? At that time the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God cheered.” He just confessed that this film recorded the hand of God.

"Tree of Eternal Life" does not interpret the Bible, but escapes the framework and seeks the most primitive dignity and inferiority of God and man. This piece is not a religious philosophy, but a search for the formation of the world order. The montage shows many strange or simple gorgeous pictures. . When I heard the bad news of my son's untimely death at the age of 19, my mother broke down and cried out My God, so she questioned God in her grief, "In the God's hands the whole time." was a foreshadowing.

Nature (law) and Grace (grace) are metaphors for the actors who play the roles of parents in this family. The contrast is strong, but they call for love. "Unless you love, your life will flash by."
After a long review of the protagonist's family life , which is commonly used in Nature and Grace to cause the protagonist to kill his father and Oedipus.

In the end, about what will happen to these things we love, on the beach people hug and kiss happily, in the movie screen like Yoshimitsu Kataha, they appear and disappear in one after another, but at the same time, they deduce the eternal, sad mother with opposite poles. Gently saying "I give him to you, I give you my son." is nothing more than letting go of impermanence, so the length and pain of life have found an outlet, just like the eternity in "Eternal Day", the fog is empty The haze dissipated, and then Terrence Malick broke down the epic vastness with the green and luxuriant .

    Even if you feel that the CG at the beginning is a mystery, but the simplest thing is, as long as you have a childhood, there is no way not to be moved, right? A movie sets aside traditional narratives, but it can create so many moving moments and so many "Moments". Watching a movie is not about watching these, so what is it to watch?
