Several clips from The Tree of Life, with the hauntingly beautiful Lacrimosa in the background by Zbigniew Preisner. Behold true beauty in sound and vision.
Heaven was a cover-up We could've done much better Than blue weather Orange thumbs and A blood red I gather from The matrix of Hades and A little from the bride to be Like seas in the streets Say Shark On your mark Christ harkened a Wholesome orphan gone numb Almost quite that was what you heard of Coming from
"The Tree Of Life" is one of the greatest, most beautiful, and most profound films ever made. It completely captures humanity's intense, complex, and emotional relationship with God.
The grieving mother asks God, "Who are we to you?" This whole sequence is God's answer: You are everything - time, space, the stars, creation, love, life. Stunning.
oh, i thought lacrimosa = tears is the film saying life is just meaningless pain. 🤷🏼♂️ in other words: malick and lubezki tried to covey here that its all up to us, becase he doesnt care.
God asks Great Dark Mother: - "Who are we to you?". This whole sequence is Mother's answer: - "You are everything: - time; space; the stars; creation; love; life; death". Stunning.
+Camille Victoria Vega I'd like to rewatch the movie and sometimes I consider it, but given the sheer amount of melancholy and childhood memories...and also it's so loooooong
+Knight Brienne (Brienne of Tarth) yes, it isn't a film meant for multiple viewings. For me, it is sort of a visual poem through its imagery/cinematography. If that makes sense. Wish I experienced it in the theaters.
Terrence Malick gave us the key to interpret this movie right in the beginning. There are two paths: the path of Grace and the path of Nature. Clearly spiritual, this movie displayed the spiritual struggle of a mother searching for answers by asking God (this scene, visually and sonorically astounding), the earthly reaction of a more materialistic father to loss of his son, the indecision and struggle between good and evil in the oldest son. So deep yet so simple and clear. Incredible movie. Marvelous movie.
Nature is greedy in itself. Not being able to elevate itself above itself, it tries to survive in any possible way. Grace is divine, it comes to rescue those that ask for it. Only with Grace mankind is able to elevate itself to the divine, making it able to accept insults and injuries, making it possible to really love every man, everywhere. :)
My kitten, a beautiful little boy, died a few weeks before I watched this movie with my husband, and the theme of loss in this piece made me feel so much less alone in my suffering.
Hope you're doing better. Though it may seem stupid to some (grieving an animal), those of us who know what these creatures can bring to your life will understand. I've lost my 15 years old cat a year ago, and it still hurts sometimes. She was there for me during a very difficult time of my life, I had quit school, had no job and no friends, I thought I was worthless. But the amount of love she gave me back made me think that, maybe, I wasn't that bad of a person. She alone kept me afloat, and I'll be forever grateful. Even though she lived a very good and fairly long life (so the pain is somewhat lessened), and I'm happy with where I am today, I still miss her.
I actuality cried in the cinema watching this sequence in awe, never had a piece of film left such an impact on me, a message of emotion surged through me beyond words, time and space
Total agreement...you want to always capture everything in art...no other film than this has done it...to my knowledge...very important film...the relationships are just scathing...the love raw and stripped down... A damn wonderful piece of work...
I finally saw this film at I have never had such a visceral feeling from a film. It seemed almost like it was made for me as I was raised very catholic with a strict father and my younger brother was unfortunately killed when he was 21. I have struggled with how I look at religion and large existential questions most of my life and I have never seen them depicted in such a way, with such grace that I was forced to tears. I'm not sure I know anything more than before I saw it but I definitely have gained a sense of myself and my place amongst not only my fellow man but life in general in all its tragic beauty. I wish I could put it to words better but I'm no philosopher or writer. I'm sure others can put it better but it reminds me of when we were taught about the holy spirit, the piece of god within us and everyone and everything that is the thread between us all.
I think that that is the juxtaposition Mallick was going for: Playing a lacrimosa (the tears of the mother at the funeral (the requiem)) at the creation or birth of everything.
isnt that was this film is about, not understanding. You can't expect to get any groundbreaking answers from it (why would terrance malick be a better man for that than anyone else). just appreciate the melancholy and probable hopelessness in human efforts to make sense of it all.
Ossian M its ambiguity is, ironically, essential to understanding it. it reflects the incompleteness of human understanding, but he's invoking, more or less, Kierkegaard and Heidegger. it's highly existential in nature. on another note, without confusing those who aren't familiar with Kierkegaard and Heidegger, put plainly (and perhaps uncharitably, since no one should summarize Tree of Life in this way), the film is mainly about two things: the birth of the universe, and its death; and, juxtaposed to that, the birth of a human, and perhaps implied, his death. I know, I know, this was already obvious. But, the film is also about how all humans are something divine, and how they will eventually return to something divine. This isn't religious in the sense of being Christian or Islamic, etc, but a monotheistic view is definite here. Whether you're a theist, or an atheist, his views are very plausible and even enlightening. I've been an atheist my entire life, but I've always thought there's a small chance that what we call god, may exist in some form, but not in the one that any religion comprehends. This is the type of God that Malick tries to show. In a nutshell, this is how I read Malick. If I remember correctly, the last shot of the film is a shot of a bridge. It's important, because the main character is an architect, but God classically is referred to as the divine architect. The divine attributes are shown to be in man as well. It's interesting, too, that the film begins with a quote from the Book of Job that solely refers to God as laying the foundations of the earth. Sounds architectural, does it not?
In the dark. Laying down. Screen above my face. Music being pumped into my ears. Majesty coursing through me. This clip PUNCHED a tear out of my eye based purely on it's beauty!
The Tree of Life is such a beautiful work of art. Every bit of music selected for the film only enhanced it. This song with the Universe sequences in theaters made it feel like a freaking spiritual experience.
This is one of those movies that you don’t really understand until you’ve had that moment in your life where everything comes into focus as confusing and trance like. Sorta like how when you say a word over and over and it gets weird. Its the feeling when you think about existence too much.
Not gonna lie, I teared up quite a bit during the formation of the universe scene when this music reached its peak. It was just so beautiful and awe-inspiring.
This makes me so happy. Unique and astonishingly beautiful. I am in tears.... thank you for creating this representation of life and all of it's aspects. I am honored to experience the adventure that is life, as should we all be. Tears in my eyes for the ever so graceful beauty
Why do so many people hate this film? It's not pretentious, or even particularly difficult to understand. It all stems from the quote at the beginning and compares the way of grace with the way of nature.
+MadHatter My view on those people is that they can't understand what malick wanted to say (which is perfectly fine), but they also forbid themselves to make something for themselves out of it, which is a shame, because film is suppose to be subjective. This leaves them frustrated; caught alone between two fires.
Very moving, one of the most mystic and sacred music I've ever heard. Imagine the whole Preisner's record called "Requiem for my Friend" was a tribute for Krzysztof Kieslowski, the famous Polish director (The Three Colors Trilogy, The Decalogue)... Indeed, he had to be genuine friend if something like that was dedicated directly to him.
Steve Sunny It is about life... strangely enough it captures the essence from broad universal perspective right down to the most intimite and subtle workings of human mind, growing up, dealing with issues. It is more abstract movie, its most powerfull message for me was the resonance with what I was able to see in it... I can't describe it to you any better... =)
Is there a comparable piece of music, which has such a majesticity, elegance, strongness, beauty, deepness, epicness and timelessness? Please tell me :)
Dang, well there's a lot of other amazing pieces out there, but if you haven't heard Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" I'd give it a listen. I also second Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3, so beautiful.
It is incredibly poignant how, in the movie, we are placed into the life and workings of individual humans in their most complex form, and, all of a sudden, we are pulled out in thrown into the simplicity of original life and its beginnings.
Looking at all the movies coming out with their special effects, I'm inclined to think the special effects animators took a deep sigh of relief when tasked to make this movie. So simple, and yet so profound
The tearful melody that describes infinity but will never quite grasp it, the divinity of the universe that shows people its limits, the sound carried by angels whose sound reverberates in every soul...
No tengo palabras para describirla, es simplemente una obra de arte bien elaborada, tan hermosa y serena, una voz bellisima. Lacrimossa, es una de mis pieza favoritas del gran Mozart.
Damn u cant konw how happy i am at this moment.. i listened to this version in an other video ,but it was deleted and since that time i was looking for it ♡
i want this piece to play at my funeral ... this movie make me crie alot ... never other movie had the same effect like this one ... was like finding parts of me that were hidden....
Does it really matter what is played at your funeral? Its kind of neurotic to be thinking of what people will think of you even when you are already dead.
This movie made me feel insignificant yet magnificent. We are ephemeral yet eternal. We are mortals yet deities. We are nothing, yet we are the ALL. We are millions, yet we are ONE.
When i feel confused or frustrated in life i come to this video and it somehow lets everything be calm and understood. even when it is not. That it what art was made to accomplish.
I wonder what they used to get the effect of being in those images of the nebulae, gives a feeling of 3d and being in there with the stars going past :)
The awe and humility I feel when listening to this piece is hard to explain. An amazing piece with my favorite moment at 0:48 and when the horsehaed nebulae appears. OMG!!!
Im soooooo in love with this. It's so breathtakingly beautiful. It makes me want to cry. It reminds me of 'The Fountain' 's message, and the gorgeous music by Clint Mansell.
It is strange that the realization of our insignificance is, at least for me, one of the most astonishing and fulfilling experiences one can have. The fact that life was born from a simple chemical reaction to the point of questioning its own existence and realizing that is has no true purpose (apart from the one you might want to give it) is just breathtaking. And here we are: destroying our planet, making the poor poorer, commiting atrocities after one another, caring so much about money - slaves of our petty needs and emotions; chained by our limited and nonetheless evolved brains; puppets of indoctrination and power systems we ourselves have created. The reality of how we came to be is too beautiful; the mysteries of the Universe too many, waiting to be explored by someone who wants to be marveled at them. And despite all this beauty, I will wake up in the morning and know that the destination we're headed is only worthy and fitting of the most stupid, disgusting, selfish and egocentrical species that has ever lived on Earth.
Samuel Lourenço Jacob How can you describe something as stupid, disgusting and selfish unless there is a non-subjective yardstick by which to judge it, which of course there won't be in your atheistic system. These character traits will at best be evolutionary happenings. Nothing more and nothing less, the law of the jungle, every man for himself.
Bernard Guy Nunns I don't know what the hell you are talking about, you seem to be confused and reaching quite a bit. Atheism is just a lack of believe in God, to clarify... And evolutionary happening? Law of the jungle? What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Day Of Tears - When I watch this sequence, it makes me feel extremely old. Almost ancient. Brilliant film. Voyage of Time is also a great film/documentary.
One of the most beautiful scenes in filmography.
1:24
Totally agree...I always thought I could encompass all things with my art...but...this movie is the greatest...Malick did that...chills and tears...
Heaven was a cover-up
We could've done much better
Than blue weather
Orange thumbs and
A blood red I gather from
The matrix of Hades and
A little from the bride to be
Like seas in the streets

Wholesome orphan gone numb
Almost quite that was what you heard of

"The Tree Of Life" is one of the greatest, most beautiful, and most profound films ever made. It completely captures humanity's intense, complex, and emotional relationship with God.
You should watch Hidden Life - that one is his best IMO
Both are 2 of the most beautiful films I've ever seen
I agree.
Art really is the greatest achievement in mankind’s history!
I don't know where you are from.. I'm from india.. art connects us.. art connects the world
And this movie is the greatest form of Art...
Art comes from the soul, money and ego from the mind, that's why we fucked up but still have the ability to change.
Art was created by God, not humans.
Art is not an achievement
The grieving mother asks God, "Who are we to you?" This whole sequence is God's answer: You are everything - time, space, the stars, creation, love, life. Stunning.
If you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and raised to life on the third day, you will be saved. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 ❤

Camille Victoria Vega Yes it does make sense and I agree. Think in cinema I would have needed to go alone to fully concentrate on it.
It is really a testament to the power of storytelling to unlock such strong emotions, and for something to get so close to our soul.
Why?
Terrence Malick gave us the key to interpret this movie right in the beginning.

more like greed vs nature.
Nature is greedy in itself. Not being able to elevate itself above itself, it tries to survive in any possible way.
Grace is divine, it comes to rescue those that ask for it. Only with Grace mankind is able to elevate itself to the divine, making it able to accept insults and injuries, making it possible to really love every man, everywhere.

One of the greatest cinematic achievements ever.

This is the soundtrack of the beginning of the world.
Nah,this is soundtrack for the time and space.
works for both :)

any supposed "end" is only ever a new beginning, Energy does what? changes form and goes on always.
Beautiful, underrated movie. I get a high watching it.
agreed!

"The tree of life" is just the best cinematic work in mankind's modern history. It makes you feel the greatness and the power of God's creation.
This scene in conjunction with the music was absolute genius.
This is my favorite moment in any film, hands down. Just beautiful
That bell… followed by one of the most haunting vocals I’ve heard.. with some of the awe inspiring visuals there are.
One of the most profound and moving films of all time
This brings tears to my eyes - every single time I hear it.
Every time.
And all the great things that come with gazing toward the heavens (things discovered and taught)
After we pass away...
The magnificent and beautiful voice of soprano Elżbieta Towarnicka and the great song of the Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner.
In the cinema, it was 1 of my 3 best experiences with a movie at all! It was just OUTSTANDING!!!
what were the 2 others?
This is not only a movie. This opera incarnates the spirit of the entire art of the cinema.
This is one of the best examples of art.
Pure Genius. An entire film not to understand, but just to feel..Amazing

Nowhere near one of the best movies. Check Tarkovsky.
Christopher Pederson not one of the best...THE best. As far as Tarkovsky, I couldn't care less.
***** I won't argue with you. I just watched it last night as a matter of fact, and kept thinking, "man, this was 1968!" what a perfect, perfect film.

Well there is also lacrimosa by mozat , and there is the flower duet which has kindof the same style/vibe I guess !

Thanks, but I know both of them already :)
Yes, there are few. For an example : Mozart - Great mass in c minor and Gustav Mahler's 8th Symphony (Final Movement).

Dang, well there's a lot of other amazing pieces out there, but if you haven't heard Samuel Barber's "Agnus Dei" I'd give it a listen. I also second Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3, so beautiful.

Literally the voice of angels Im ~Wow
I feel like this piece of music purifies my soul and gives me new life and hope.
God cried when he was making the universe.
It is strange that the realization of our insignificance is, at least for me, one of the most astonishing and fulfilling experiences one can have. The fact that life was born from a simple chemical reaction to the point of questioning its own existence and realizing that is has no true purpose (apart from the one you might want to give it) is just breathtaking. And here we are: destroying our planet, making the poor poorer, commiting atrocities after one another, caring so much about money - slaves of our petty needs and emotions; chained by our limited and nonetheless evolved brains; puppets of indoctrination and power systems we ourselves have created.
The reality of how we came to be is too beautiful; the mysteries of the Universe too many, waiting to be explored by someone who wants to be marveled at them. And despite all this beauty, I will wake up in the morning and know that the destination we're headed is only worthy and fitting of the most stupid, disgusting, selfish and egocentrical species that has ever lived on Earth.
Samuel Lourenço Jacob How can you describe something as stupid, disgusting and selfish unless there is a non-subjective yardstick by which to judge it, which of course there won't be in your atheistic system. These character traits will at best be evolutionary happenings. Nothing more and nothing less, the law of the jungle, every man for himself.
Bernard Guy Nunns I don't know what the hell you are talking about, you seem to be confused and reaching quite a bit. Atheism is just a lack of believe in God, to clarify... And evolutionary happening? Law of the jungle? What the hell does that have to do with anything?
Sorry bud, I thought I explained it simply. But if not this is the best I can do. Cheers
Really? Im disappointed then. You should study a bit buddy, you have a lot of confusion there in your head, these concepts are not hard.
The shortcomings of a tradesman I guess. But I do feel this lucidity coming on.
One of the most gorgeous, overwhelming cinematic moments of the decade.
"Tree of life" doesn´t need an oscar.
It will stay for several generations
as an ode to life on our blue planet.
ॐ self confidence
sublime, empequeñece al mas grande de los hombres
God i love this movie!!!
Day Of Tears - When I watch this sequence, it makes me feel extremely old. Almost ancient. Brilliant film. Voyage of Time is also a great film/documentary.
