His later work hasn't matched up with his earlier work. Badlands, Days of Heaven > Thin Red line, The New World.

I think this looks pretty interesting.

I have no idea what this is about, but I have a crush on Sean Penn.

Is Sean Penn supposed to be the kid, now grown up?
it's like here's this family. mom, dad, kid. they're living life, some good things happen, some bad things happen. Oh, here's Sean Penn. Back to the family life. some more things happen...
seems incongruous.

Yeah, Sean Penn is the kid all grown up.

This movie is suppose to have dinosaurs somewhere in it.

This is only a teaser trailer, I wouldn't expect it to make much sense.

I looked it up on Wikipedia. Sean Penn as a child loses his innocence after a death. As an adult he is disillusioned with the world and eventually learns to forgive his father and enjoy the wonders of the world again.

I'd like to see this, but I also need to stop seeing movies that make me cry.

Not every slow-paced movie is Gerry Nate!

Yeah but this trailer makes the movie look REALLY boring. Like "The Fountain" boring.

I liked The Fountain. It wasn't perfect by any means, and it obviously didn't end up being the movie that Aronofsky had originally intended, but I liked it.

The Fountain was amazing, and although the Tree of Life looks meh, it is directed by Malick, who is brilliant, so I'll be seeing it.
