feel guilty placing it in the same reference. The faux-intellectualism of the narration is enough to drive anyone mad. Anyone, that is, that doesn't like complex issues reduced to hippie-like sentiments commonly repeated during drug-induced illumination.

...what Kubrick did. '2001' did involve time sequence, but limted to one character and more 'linear' chronological form.

'Tree of Life' time sequence involved time sequence with multiple characters and in 'non-linear' chronological form.

It's not meant to be 'analyzed', it was meant to be 'felt'.

Btw. I remember what a pretentious bore I thought '2001' was when I first
saw it. I was 25 and expecting a 'Star Wars'!

Only when I saw it on big scree and when I was 42, then I got it.
