and i say to myself: what a wonderful world!

I have been really obsessed with the Tree of Life movie. Mrs Green went before I, and said she really hated it, but I ended up going alone a month ago and it was a completely different cinematographic experience for me. I don't remember having seen such a great movie in the theatre. Such hi def projection! It was sort of hard for the length (given it's fragmentary narrative) but it appealed for my emotions and my reason (and my personal experiences) in a way that truly defines what pure art should be about...

Anyone had the pleasure/displeasure of seeing this movie yet?
