“Why do you talk like that?”
“I can’t help it, I’m part of the movie generation. I spent every Saturday morning and afternoon in the dark.”
MASH (1970)
When the movie was released, the military wanted not to run the movie in their theaters because of its anti-war message. The case went to the Supreme Court which ruled the military could not withdraw the film for this reason. Instead, the military chose to run Patton in the following week feeling that film was more complimentary to the military. -IMDb
Much of The Tree of Life (2011) is like reading every Ray Bradbury story about being a kid, while listening to classical music. It begins by trying to show the entire library of existence, into which this one childhood story fits, and it closes with someone trying to get you to check out the Bible before your library card expires.
