Life is good but the weekends are a little lonely. I am really going to have to get something done about that - fine new friends - and how many times have I said that in the last 25 years!! I love my friends but we don't see much of each other. They are all in couples except me!!
Anyway, I have just got back from seeing 'the Tree of Life'. A little Stanley Kubrick at the beginning, and very (I want to use a big word here but am not sure which to use so I'll say) up-in-the-air. I think I got the main meaning of the film. I saw the trailer and would never have expect such a high-brow film.
It starts with the delivery of a telegram which tells an American mum, that her son had died. From the cars and so on I think we are at the end of the 50s so it can't be the Vietnam war. Then we shoot forward to today and find Sean Penn who plays the eldest of 3 brothers and through his thoughts we see something of the family's childhood. A rather overbearing but loving father, and a mother who just wants her sons to enjoy life. But at the beginning we see something which I suppose is the creation of the Earth and some scenes with dinasaurs - all very odd! It was not what I expected and I can't say it has really uplifted me. At least I got through to the end.
