discovery channel?

Great concept for a movie just to much unneeded scenes from the discovery channel.

A Feast for the MInd, Though Not Easy

One of the frustrating parts of writing reviews here is that there are people who, because they didn't like a movie, give it a one so its ratings will go down. No matter how much this movie eluded you (and I have sympathy for those who don't like certain types of films), to give an ambitious film like this a one is totally beyond my comprehension. You're not reviewing, you're stacking the votes and trying to punish whoever. Just the visual essence of this film should elevate it way beyond that. There's my brief diatribe. Unlike some of the viewers, I was never bored for a second. While some of the presentation was bewildering and hit-and-miss, thank God someone is doing something besides Transformers 8. This is a splendid film, filled with unanswered questions, portraying the lives of people in a whole new way. One reviewer said that this will not stand the test of time. Perhaps not, but more's the pity because we have gravitated toward judgment and the lowest common denominator. I was transfixed by the tension between Brad Pitt's father and his son. He is a failure in his own eyes and takes vengeance on his children and his wife. He had a chance to pursue his dreams as a concert pianist, but blames his family for his giving up. Children are wise and his son gets to know him. Unfortunately, he has to vent his own anger. He precariously hangs on a thread of destruction.

The cosmology in this film is striking. There is a part where we are taken from the Big Bang to the implications of an indifferent universe. The forces we face on a day-to-day basis are often random and cruel but the love we can give (the mother) is the only thing that outweighs it. If you have trouble with theology, remember there is stuff in the world worth clinging to, not just an adversarial god.

There is one issue. What did Sean Penn get paid for being in this film. Other than putting his name on the credits, he did nothing. A lesser known actor who looked more like the oldest son could have had just as much credibility and the movie would not have missed a beat.

Earth and the elements, God, grace and family

Writer-director Terrence Malick's mostly-visual scrapbook of a man's life, from his formative years in suburban Texas in the 1950s to the present day, where he works as a businessman in the city. Cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and his camera takes us on a journey as well, swimming, coasting, gliding and swooping across the landscapes and seashores of this country with dizzying artistic flourish. This is a handsome piece of goods, and the prime reason why the best actors working today want to work with Malick--he assures quality. Malick also does something unexpected: he gives actor and co-producer Brad Pitt one of the most revealing roles of his career. As the overly-critical father of three boys (ordinary kids, not troublemakers), he has a hard, unsentimental core, demanding though not altogether heartless. It's an amazing transformation for Pitt, who performs without any movie star allure (when he tells one boy to sit up straight at the dinner table, they all sit up--and maybe his spouse, too). The casting of Sean Penn as Pitt's now-grown son doesn't work as well; Penn's slack face and haunted eyes are so familiar to us that, by now, his features don't reveal anything unique. The film has an uncanny grasp of childhood, yet is essentially no more profound than a series of recognizable quirks, traits, situations and memories. It will touch some viewers deeply, others not so much. It is certainly a work of great expression, one with a quiet, subtle personality--tinged with sadness and regret. **1/2 from ****
