Never will understand the praise for The Tree of Life. Images and symbolism does not a movie make.


Theres different types of movies you know, its meant to be engaging. The Tree Of Life strays away from the norm, and because of this many average movie-goers will not be able to stomach it. Its extremely artistic in its approach I guess you could say. I thought it was phenominal and beautifully done. The average person is going to hate it because they simply can't understand it, its by far an EXTREMELY difficult movie to fully grasp, but once you do, damn lol. Its one of those few movies you can "Reflect" on.

This is the same tiring excuse that is beginning to hold less and less ground as an arguement every time I see it.  That does work for specific age groups (won't exactly work to pre-teen crowd).  Those kind of statements come of as saying the "average movie-goer" (in this case ages 17+) goes to the movies just to watch the same thing. 


Well for a song as majorly out of the norm as this one, and being an artistic movie at the very definition, in this situation I'd say my statement is fairly representative.
