THE TREE OF LIFE Official HD Trailer

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.

I was around 21 years old, my father and I smoked a big joint, went into the movie theatre and saw this film. It had a profound impact on both of us. My father died recently and I often come back to this film, relieved that we shared this experience.

I remember walking out the cinema after seeing this and saying "wow that was something, really amazing", I turned to my brother who said "...What the fuck was that". Thats true art.

[BasmaSBash]

If you grew up wondering what is good, what is evil, gazing at the horizon questioning what is beyond. If the sands of time are drifting and the child inside of you is still whispering. This is not a movie, this is your life.

[Guigley]

This film was one of the most unforgettable experiences I've ever had in a movie theater.

[Balazs]

You gotta be in the right mood to watch this movie. First time i stoped in the middle, next time I was like... wow

[CrysisJim]

i don't know why, I watch this trailer over and over again.

As the decade comes to an end, let us remember that The Tree of Life was probably the deepest and most beautiful movie of it. Thank you Terrence Malick for your work and dedication to cinema.

i've seen this movie high as F on drugs, sober, young, old, and now as a father, and each time I find something different in the viewing. truly a masterpiece.

[fartmanx]

I come back and watch this trailer every few weeks whenever I feel like I've lost hope in humanity, due to all the horrible things going on in the world. It lifts my spirits and enriches my soul. I can't explain it, but it does. I only wish that everyone could see it as I do, and feel the resonance in your own heart and in your own being. Never has a movie moved me so much. Terrence Malick has created more than a masterpiece. No movie, in my opinion, will ever reach this bar. It is not possible.

[Loser]

One of the best trailers I've ever seen.

[TheatreofSymphony]

This isn't a film. It is art of the highest kind.

[fredericgermay]

Every year or two, I come across a film that so thoroughly enthralls me in such a fashion that I leave the theatre almost in a trance - rattled, shaken, and broken into speechlessness over its emotive power. Into The Wild, The Master, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Synecdoche, New York are a couple examples. This movie falls firmly into that category. Not every film requires a clear-cut explanation or definitive closure. And yet, if a film can impact you in such a powerful way, it deserves recognition - and this is one of qualifying films.

[BrianKellyisGay]

One of the greatest films of all time. Period.

[alisongerber]

You forget about this movie, and then you come back to it and remember it is one of the best things you have ever seen in your life. It's a spiritual experience to see it, no lie.

[Androidtiagomzz]

I cry profusely every time I watch this movie. I can't explain why. I just feel the presence of God and his consoling Spirit.

[gAbRiElLeAmEVeNiTrOn]

"Someday we will fall down and understand it things." That was a very moving quote.

[jclfsfg]

This is a once in a lifetime caliber of film. A masterpiece on every level.

[MattJett]

First watched this movie years ago before I had any children, I was blown away and reflected on this movie AS A SON imagining myself in Sean Penn's character's shoes.

Watched it recently now that I have a 3yo son, I was emotionally destroyed this time and reflected on this movie AS A FATHER imagining my son as Sean Penn's character.

This movie has different meanings to oneself as you watch it over the years as you experience new milestones in life. Especially into parenthood.

[skygerspacher]

This movie is a moving painting and a perfectly timed orchestral piece interwoven into the memories of a life lived.

"Unless you love, your life will flash by."


so powerful.
