Tree of Life

After seeing The Tree of Life yesterday I guess its fair to say that I was very confused and didn't know what to think about it. I did feel like after hearing peoples discussions after the movie I kind of had more of a grasp on the movie, but just to an extent. I thought all the random beautiful shots was probably somewhat showing how God is everywhere and always with us, from the smallest to the largest aspects of life. Even after thinking this though, I still don't understand most of the beginning, then the last twenty minutes at all. It makes sense why this film didn't show in a lot of movie theaters when it first came out. It seemed that even with a full room of film lovers and film makers, a lot of people didn't understand the movie what so ever, or even enjoy it for that matter. I don't know how most movie goers would respond to a movie that is so different. Thats probably why it was nominated for an oscar but has a low rating on imdb. I also think it is kind of funny that even the picture that I am using for this blog would make anyone completely confused. I guess its a good representation of the movie.
