If I had a nickel every time I've heard that question asked..


Honestly, no one knows

here's a synopsis from IMDB:


Tree of Life is a period film centered around three boys in the 1950s. The eldest son of two characters (Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain) witnesses the loss of innocence.

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

Framing this story is the life of adult Jack (Sean Penn); 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 and incomparable. Jack, with his new understanding, is able to forgive his father and take his first steps on the path of life. From this story is that of adult Jack, a lost soul in a modern world,

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.

Just heard Brad Pitt and Sean Penn is only in it for about 10 mins. Also heard the movie got bored at the Canned Film Festival and the director was so ashamed he missed out on his own Q&A session afterwards.

and I heard more people cheered the movie than booed it and Terrence Malick doesn't even like his picture taken, so he wasn't showing up for a Q&A anyway...
that being said, I have every intention of seeing this movie and every expectation I have is high so I will be suprememly disappointed, because like someone else said this has the feel of a movie that people are going to like because they think they are supposed to, not because it is any good.

I look at the trailer and I am feeling iffy about this. I think the story from the little that I read could be good, but judging of Malick's last movie I dont want minutes of silence and scenery shots and one minute of dialogue and back to scenery.

Also, cant stand the silent whispering narration in the trailer, hopefully that doesn't happen throughout the film.
