Trailer Watch: Tree of Life springs new life

Tree of Life gives a lot of breathing space for Hollywood in the months to come.

Finally the trailer is out for the Tree of Life and it really brings in a lot on to the plate. Terrence Malick has really worked on this new film starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn and probably has a masterpiece in his hands. The film also stars the talented Jessica Chastain.

Here is something from the desk of Terrence Malick.

We trace the evolution of an eleven-year-old boy in the Midwest, Jack, one of three brothers. At first all seems marvelous to the child. He sees as his mother does with the eyes of his soul. She represents the way of love and mercy, where the father tries to teach his son the world’s way of putting oneself first. Each parent contends for his allegiance, and Jack must reconcile their claims. The picture darkens as he has his first glimpses of sickness, suffering and death. The world, once a thing of glory, becomes a labyrinth.

From this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world, seeking to discover amid the changing scenes of time that which does not change: the eternal scheme of which we are a part. When he sees all that has gone into our world’s preparation, each thing appears a miracle—precious, incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life.

The story ends in hope, acknowledging the beauty and joy in all things, in the everyday and above all in the family—our first school—the only place that most of us learn the truth about the world and ourselves, or discover life’s single most important lesson, of unselfish love.

Tree of Life is working on various levels to get within reach of some greatness. So we will have to wait in the coming weeks on what to expect for this film. Tell us what you guys thought of the trailer.
