After a fantastic week helping an insightful group of students craft their own cinematic moments for Marylhurst University's Show:Tell Workshop (a workshop to support the efforts of teen artists and writers), I decided to treat myself with a viewing of Terence Malick's The Tree of Life. 

In my mind, Malick is the most important film maker in the world today. The Tree of Life does nothing to refute this. . .

To watch this film is to know the feeling of participating in a miracle. It is the finest film I've ever seen, and might be one of the most ambitious art works created in a very long time.

I would suggest that if you are to see no other film for the next five years then tonight, without hesitancy, go out, buy a ticket, and be a witness. . .
