Humanity, Spirituality, Divinity

From Apichatpong’s film winning the Palme d’Or in 2011 to Mo Yan’s novel winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2012, magical realism, as a unique artistic symbol in the postmodern period, is no longer a purely utopian spiritual appeal. With the expansion of people's ideology, it will more and more profoundly show the philosophical proposition of the harmony and unity of nature and human nature in its supernatural form.
This film tells a story about the bizarre reincarnation of humans and animals in nature. It evokes my long-standing inertial thinking about human nature, nature, and fate, and shows a bold conclusion: all things have a spirit, and all reincarnations , all originating from past causes and effects. Humanity, spirituality, and divinity will be transformed into each other at the right time. This is undoubtedly a well-intentioned warning to the human beings who claim to be the masters of the world, especially the materialists who claim that man can conquer the sky. Personally, I think this film is a rare masterpiece of magical realism.

    Ten stars. Do not doubt for a moment the image of Apichatpong, just breathe into it. It seems to be his best film now. Every time I raise my eyes, it is full of divinity. It is not a god in ideology, but a god shared by every life and buried in our depths. "The Tree of Life" has long been That's how it should be shot. At first glance, the curious experience completely faded away, revealing an affectionate, frank and extremely fragile core. This is a first-aid movie that starts from the sorrows of the world, but from the beginning of the first aid, it proves to us that our worries are superficial and superfluous. The world and all beings are certainly not enough, Apichatpong also embraces history, the universe, and every self on the timeline, which may indeed be the end of the film: the ultimate coexistence.
