In a society of consumerism, often times we Americans seek entertainment (only) when we go to theaters. That being said, when we come across a movie like The Tree of Life, we do not really know how to respond. With it's exotic scenes of volcanos, planets, microscopic images, and more, this film was fantastically different then what I was accustomed to seeing.

The reason that I and just now blogging on this film is not because I have pointlessly been holding it off, but rather because I have been thinking about what I saw, and trying to figure out what to say about it. I have come to the conclusion that I do not really have much to say in addition to this film. It was a brilliant movie, though. Everyone that I have talked to about it has stated that they are STILL thinking about it even though it's been a while. It takes a truly well developed presentation to captivate the audience, though it may be small, for a sustaining period of time.

The main nugget that I got from this piece of art is that I need to learn how to interest the audience. Maybe the overall theme should not be as complicated as this one, but in my future works, I need to figure out how to make people think, and how to make the taste of my work linger for a while even after it's over.
