[quote=Anonymous]I loved it and found it very beautiful. But you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind. We watched it on Netflix, and the first night we tried to watch it I had to stop. I was tired and just didn't think my brain could take it all in. Tried it another night and really got into it.

I also can see how some people were put off by the space/dinosaurs/creation bit, and I admit, at first I was too. But after watching the entire film, I can appreciate those scenes. For that mother, her sons were EVERYTHING and their lives (and death) were the most important thing for her. But those earlier scenes really make you think how, in the grand scheme of things, one person's lifetime is really just a flash in the pan. Our planet is millions and millions of years old, so my several decades here on Earth really are inconsequential, right? But juxtapose that with a mother's love for her child, and of course she would tell you that her children's time on Earth has been the most important (for her, at least).

Anyway, I really liked the film - thought-provoking and beautiful. But if you don't like any of Malick's other work, then you probably would not like this. [/quote]
