From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as BADLANDS, DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE THIN RED LINE, THE TREE OF LIFE is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

into the wild - trailer

In 1990, Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), a college graduate from Emory University, rejects a materialist, conventional life, and his parents Walt (William Hurt) and Billie McCandless (Marcia Gay Harden), whom McCandless perceives as having betrayed him by entrapping him in a future of traditional lifestyle.

Nearly two years after leaving his family, McCandless crosses a stream in a remote area of Alaska and sets up camp in an abandoned Fairbanks Transit bus which he encounters. Initially McCandless is exhilarated by the isolation.  Eventually he realizes that nature is also harsh and uncaring and in the pain of realization seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family. McCandless finds that the stream which he crossed in the snow has become wide, deep, and violent due to the thaw, and he cannot return. Supplies run out and he is forced to gather and eat roots and plants aided by a book to help him to distinguish edible from inedible, but he makes a mistake and eats the wrong plant -  the book after the event advises him that his mistake will cause him "starvation and death". He was found 2 weeks after he died by moose hunters.

Having seen Charlie Rose interview Sean Penn and his work in Haiti I think that he was the right person to direct this film. Why do I say "the sins of the parents?" Christopher and his sister find out that they are bastards and did not like their parents love of money. As always the children are the ones that suffer.

  • What Christopher McCandless achived in his lifetime, very few have the courage to even try. One very simple, but also very powerful message i toke from this movie is: "if you want something in life, reach out and grab it".el3ktricmind 1 week ago 21
but this I think is the point

Yes I think this is a movie that should be considered for a DVD Collection

the 148m movie will be much better without commercials
