A brilliant examination of a small Texas family from childhood to adulthood in which the father-son relationship is troubled. Terrence Malick examines this journey from a deeply philosophical and theological point of view in which biblical passages are interpreted in visually beautiful dreamlike images such as the conception and birth of a child. Emotionally moving for those interested in the questions of the meaning of life! Terrence Malick won high praise and honors for this film! Recommended!
