You didn't r...I believe I see the problem here. You didn't read Glenn, or Dan Callahan. Or just Dan Callahan in Glenn Kenny's comments: <br /><br />""The Tree of Life" is the best American film I've seen since "Mulholland Drive" ten years ago. Both films had Jack Fisk as production designer, which makes me want to read a huge, detailed interview with Fisk. And see "Raggedy Man" again. Fisk also designed "There Will Be Blood," which makes me think that this man is the ultimate secret weapon of the cinema.<br /><br />While I was watching "Tree," I could barely believe what I was seeing and hearing; it has a rhythmic audacity and it moves by so quickly that I was sure I was missing so much, but that's part of what the film is about. Negative reviews of "The Tree of Life"? For THIS movie?! What does a filmmaker have to do? Get Christ down from the cross? He practically does that here!"<br /><br />Well, shit. Sold. The ticket, at least.The Sirenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13587505433284584391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081747433018117316.post-26250627941062575302011-05-24T04:51:43.703+05:002011-05-24T04:51:43.703+05:00That's the spiritThat's the spiritTom Shonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938779517705582285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3081747433018117316.post-55444513932731865202011-05-24T04:14:32.734+05:002011-05-24T04:14:32.734+05:00Haha!

I mean, Thin Red Line ties 2001 Space Odyssey atop my personal Most Boring Movie I Sat Through list (along with Grindhouse, though that may actually be number one). But it can only best such low expectations, right? Right!?Scottnoreply@blogger.com
