The Tree of Life - Lacrimosa

Several clips from The Tree of Life, with the hauntingly beautiful Lacrimosa in the background by Zbigniew Preisner. Behold true beauty in sound and vision.

One of the most beautiful scenes in filmography.

"The Tree Of Life" is one of the greatest, most beautiful, and most profound films ever made. It completely captures humanity's intense, complex, and emotional relationship with God.

The grieving mother asks God, "Who are we to you?" This whole sequence is God's answer: You are everything - time, space, the stars, creation, love, life. Stunning.

Art really is the greatest achievement in mankind’s history!

Terrence Malick gave us the key to interpret this movie right in the beginning.

There are two paths: the path of Grace and the path of Nature.

Clearly spiritual, this movie displayed the spiritual struggle of a mother searching for answers by asking God (this scene, visually and sonorically astounding), the earthly reaction of a more materialistic father to loss of his son, the indecision and struggle between good and evil in the oldest son.

So deep yet so simple and clear. Incredible movie. Marvelous movie.

My kitten, a beautiful little boy, died a few weeks before I watched this movie with my husband, and the theme of loss in this piece made me feel so much less alone in my suffering.

"The tree of life" is just the best cinematic work in mankind's modern history. It makes you feel the greatness and the power of God's creation.

[francescobitonti]

This is not only a movie. This opera incarnates the spirit of the entire art of the cinema.

I finally saw this film at I have never had such a visceral feeling from a film. It seemed almost like it was made for me as I was raised very catholic with a strict father and my younger brother was unfortunately killed when he was 21. I have struggled with how I look at religion and large existential questions most of my life and I have never seen them depicted in such a way, with such grace that I was forced to tears. I'm not sure I know anything more than before I saw it but I definitely have gained a sense of myself and my place amongst not only my fellow man but life in general in all its tragic beauty. I wish I could put it to words better but I'm no philosopher or writer. I'm sure others can put it better but it reminds me of when we were taught about the holy spirit, the piece of god within us and everyone and everything that is the thread between us all.

One of the greatest cinematic achievements ever.

[sator]

The magnificent and beautiful voice of soprano Elżbieta Towarnicka and the great song of the Polish composer Zbigniew Preisner.

[Aimlessartist]

I cried profusely when I first saw this sequence.

[TAMKILL]

That bell… followed by one of the most haunting vocals I’ve heard.. with some of the awe inspiring visuals there are.

[EndOfSmallSanctuary]

Probably the single greatest moment of any film ever.

“The most incredible thing about miracles is that they happen.”
G.K. Chesterton

[ForestofSongs]

Here lies a song that would make us fall to our knees because it embodies the majesty and glory of God! ... a Masterpiece

[lsmit]

This is my favorite moment in any film, hands down. Just beautiful

In the cinema, it was 1 of my 3 best experiences with a movie at all! It was just OUTSTANDING!!!

[Antaoleumas]

Eu chorei, lindo. Espetacular. Quantos passaram na terra e não tiveram a oportunidade de escutar e ver essas imagens. Somos privilegiados.
