So, here in the state and city which I currently reside in, I often feel annoyed with theaters. Why? Because, they don't show independent films here. Or at least, when they do, it's only for a weekend and then they move on. Luckily this weekend I was able to finally see Tree of Life. It was such a beautiful film. As always, Malick's style is amazing. Each shot could be framed and put on a wall.
What bothered me was when the movie ended, I heard a man gruff and say, "What a load of crap."
Obviously they had not seen a Malick film before. Obviously they missed the point of the movie. Sure, there were a few things I feel didn't fit with the movie, but all in all, it was amazing.
And the kids! Malick really captured childhood. It brought back a ton of memories. Each moment the kids experienced being kids, reminded me exactly where I was when I was that age.
Beautiful film.
My whole point is, I can see whey they don't show too many indie films here in this city. Most people here go for the big blockbuster explosion and screaming films. So, it seems. But, I could be wrong.
