The Tree of Life (2011)
A Dance with Life
This movie is a collection of flashes of memories, of universe, and of reality. It deals with the question "What is the purpose of life in the face of evil?" and provided a positive (perhaps naive) answer. I see my mother in Mr O'brien, and I see myself in him, too. I realized that the differences in world-views and philosophies between the parents and children in the movie are significant. It is heart shattering and heart warming to see it portrayed on screen.
Melancholia (2011)
Confusing, Amazing, and Embarrassing
I feel that the characters embodied ideas that is present in melancholy, but they are not clear. Some shots and sequences are amazing aesthetically, but conversations are generally embarrassingly bad. Acting is so-so, but with the conversation, none of it is convincing. The is both a failure and a work of art. And maybe, they mean the same thing.
Inception (2010)
Brilliant Idea, Best of All Time
Inception is a unique movie by Christopher Nolan. I like it's script and plot, the layers of dreams are just amazing. The soundtrack of the movie is best soundtrack of all time, too. The end theme: Time by Hans Zimmer is beautiful and fits into the ending (Is it all just a dream?) very well.
