For a list made out of 177 critics around the planet is impressive how little hipsterism is on it.

Let's be honest here, the only people that would think this list is very hipster is mostly people that knows little to nothing about the subject, it is actually a great test to perceive those who never watches anything outside hollywood blockbusters and yet have the balls to call hipster to everything else simply cause they don't get it.

Is like if someone spend his life eating McDonalds everyday and then suddlenly someone gives him a Paella and then he goes like what is this shitty food? Where is the Ketchup, the fat meat and the melted cheese??  what a shit for snobs and hipsters!! And critics think Paella is better than McDonalds? They know nothing, they are just pretentious people!

Yep, exactly. There are a lot of Pixar movies, Mad Max, The Dark Knight, The Wolf of Wall Street... And those were blockbusters. Nothing wrong about it, they're great films imo. But they're far from "hipstery", obviously.

To me, what Tree of Life was trying to show was: What makes us who we are? So naturally there is this whole universe creation scene, dynosaurs etc, to show where the whole species and our environment come from. Then the film zooms in on a specific individual, and shows how life events form that person, upbringing, major events etc. I think it's a terrific movie.

I think I get how the whole creation scene fits with the family drama. More or less. It felt a bit out of place imo, but, yeah, I could dig that. I really don't know what's the deal about those beach scenes. And the family drama felt... weak (Boyhood on the other hand nailed it imo). Nothing outstanding about it imo. It's a totally different way of making movies, and the fact is that I just don't get it. I feel good knowing that I'm not alone XD. I get Fynch for example, I love him, but Malick...
