FROM THE CREATOR OF THE ZEITGEIST FILM SERIES COMES THE DUMBEST REALITY SHOW OF ALL TIME: THE REAL ONE 

as we are born into this world, we emerge from the dark, blinded & scared by the light. only, to spend our lives surrounded & governed by most of others who have been introduced to the world the same way. there are many of those same people who continue to search, pressing on to savor the light for which they still are trying desperately to comprehend. they invent simple explanations. superstitions. they create false realities. hopes & dreams - & nightmares. some say the light is not what’s important, it’s the fear of the dark & the force or forces that created it. however, there are a rising passionate many who have studied this light meticulously. never fearing the light, they instead became infatuated & almost desired the light for all it could potentially mean, or not mean. the questions were nearly almost as beautiful as the answer. but the light they’ve been examining is the light within & beyond the dark. and in their pursuit, they’ve come extremely close to providing an explanation that encompasses it all. and to this very day, they’re actually poking around inside the reason behind the dark itself, for which the light came to be. the others, the ones who’ve provided their own wonderful fantasies & misguided attempts at true understanding & enlightenment, only for the sake of protecting their safe delusion, sidestep reality for a comfortable alternative. and unfortunately for us all, there are a select group who have managed to gain a powerfully destructive principle point of view for the light, dark, everything. they discovered that the power over the existence of those who spend their time trying to learn more about themselves, this space/time, embracing nature & life around us, can provide just enough distraction they would need - to achieve an imaginative “upper hand” & government over us all. and it doesn’t mean those people have anyone in their group with the perceptions & amazing reality of passion toward enhancing our own existence which undeniably is: we must evolve organically & simultaneously together in forward motion for as long as we possibly can in order for us to have ever-increasing awareness, intelligence & perpetual interaction with this light we’ve all been eagerly burdening ourselves to understand.

may the universe bless you all with its understanding. onward to the edge.

The Tree of Life is a 2011 American drama with experimental elements written and directed by Terrence Malick and starring Sean Penn,Brad Pitt, and Jessica Chastain. Malick’s film chronicles the origins and meaning of life by way of a middle-aged man’s childhood memories of his family living in 1950s Texas, interspersed with imagery of the origins of the universe and the inception of life on Earth. After decades in development and missed 2009 and 2010 release dates, the film premiered in competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or. The film received polarizing reactions in response to Malick’s use of technical and artistic imagery, directorial style, and fragmented non-linear narrative.

Plot

A mysterious, wavering light that resembles a flame flickers in the darkness. Mrs. O’Brien (Jessica Chastain) recalls a lesson taught to her that people must choose to either follow the path of grace or the path of nature. In the mid 1960s, she receives a telegram informing her of her son’s death at age 19. Mr. O’Brien (Brad Pitt) is notified by telephone. The family is thrown into turmoil. In the present day, Jack O’Brien (Sean Penn) is adrift in his modern life as an architect. When he sees a tree being planted in front of a building, he begins to reminisce about his life as young teenager during the 1950s.

The universe is formed. As the galaxies expand and planets are formed, voices ask various existential questions. On the newly formed Earth, volcanoes erupt and microbes begin to form. An Elasmosaurus, a large wound in its side, gazes out to sea. In a forest, a youngParasaurolophus is wary of predators. Later on a riverbank, the Parasaurolophus lies wounded. An Ornithomimus^[3] emerges and examines the wounded dinosaur. The Ornithomimus places its foot on the Parasaurolophus’ neck, preparing for the kill, but then reconsiders after watching it struggle. The predator wanders off. An asteroid impacts the earth.

In a sprawling neighborhood in Waco, Texas, live the O’Briens. The young couple are enthralled by baby Jack and, later, his two brothers. When Jack (Hunter McCracken) reaches adolescence, he is faced with the conflict of accepting the way of grace or nature, as embodied by each of his parents. Mrs. O’Brien (grace) is gentle, nurturing, and authoritative, presenting the world to her children as a place of wonder. Mr. O’Brien (nature) is strict, authoritarian, and easily loses his temper as he struggles to reconcile his love for his sons with wanting to prepare them for a world he sees as corrupt and exploitative. He laments his decision to become an engineer rather than pursue his passion of becoming a musician, and now pursues dreams of wealth by filing patents for various inventions.

One summer, Mr. O’Brien takes a trip around the world in an effort to commercialize his inventions. While he is away, the boys enjoy unfettered access to their mother, and Jack experiences the first twinges of rebelliousness. Goaded by other boys his age, Jack commits acts of vandalism and animal abuse. He later trespasses into a neighbor’s house and steals her underwear. Jack is confused by his experiments with violence and experiences guilt, throwing the stolen underwear into a river to rid himself of it. Mr. O’Brien returns home, having failed to sell any of his inventions. Shortly thereafter his plant closes and he is given the option of staying with the company and relocating to work a stable yet unfulfilling job, or be terminated. Mr. O’Brien agrees to the transfer and he and his family pack up to move. Mr. O’Brien laments the course his life has taken, questioning whether he has been a good enough person. He reconciles with Jack, asking forgiveness for his harsh treatment of him.

Far in the future, the planet Earth is destroyed, first burnt to cinders by the sun when it has turned into a red giant and then left alone as a desolate, lifeless frozen place still orbiting around the sun, which by that time has turned into a feeble white dwarf.

In the present, adult Jack leaves work. Riding the elevator down he experiences a vision of walking on rocky terrain. He tentatively walks through a wooden door frame which is erected on the rocks. On a sandbar, Jack is reunited with his family and all the people who populate his memory. His father is happy to see him. His mother is overjoyed when Jack’s memory resurrects his dead brother. She thanks Jack, kissing his arm twice. Jack’s vision ends and he leaves his building smiling.

The mysterious, wavering light continues to flicker in the darkness.

Desperation can make a man do a lot of things outside of his comfort zone. But I personally find human desperation somewhat beautiful. It is such a real truth, everyone shares that bond. We all have moments of pure terror and desperation that can drive us to do terrible things, and sometimes those…
