- I was one of the people who really wasn't interested in seeing this movie, and really only picked it up because it's nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. At the beginning of the movie, it was heavy on images of non-people. Then I finally understood that Malick was trying to show Creation after the questioning of whether or not God was there.
- The "Lacrymosa" portion was way too long for me, probably because I felt sorry for the Soprano having to sing so dang high. This almost had me turning off the movie, thinking it was all going to be like it, but I'm glad I didn't.
- Really glad. I was bawling toward the end.
- Yes, it's weird that Sean Penn plays Brad Pitt's grown-up son. I couldn't figure out which son he was supposed to be playing until the very end, but I guess that's what was supposed to happen.
- I don't understand why Penn was the only one at the current age during that last portion. Was it because we were seeing it from his point of view, and he'll always see his family at that particular time of his life? I don't know.
- Boys are mean to frogs.
- Why, at the beginning, were the insides of Pitt's and Chastain's mouths so black? It looked lke they had rotted out teeth.
- Whoa. That butterfly was real? Awesome.
- Aside from "Lacrymosa", I enjoyed all of the classical music that Alexandre Desplat used.
- "I didn't know how to name You then. But I see it was You. Always You were calling me."
This movie isn't for everyone. Heck, it's barely for me. But I liked seeing that family relationship evolve, so I liked it. ;)
