He knows nothing about good movies, and even less about
bad ones. Please put him away before he hurst himself.

Just like I doubt anyone cares (in a personal way) about the results found when 'Best films of 2011 tumblr' is Googled. Not that the list itself is bad (or good) — but, wow, some of the language used to back up these choices evinces what I can only call a style of cinematic appreciation consonant with the sensibilities of a 16 year old boy (one who's just encountered lots of 'fresh', 'radical' ideas — on the Criterion forum): "tons of awesomely unbroken shots" (geez, never seen that before); "about love and violence (and how those two intermingle)" (oh brother); "I don't really feel comfortable talking about either just yet … absolutely tore my heart out" (too complex, hits too close, I agree); "it's also deeply square, politically" (true, Malick should've 'deconstructed' the 50's — imagine how Refn would handle the same material!). Sorry to come off so cynically, as many comment authors at the Playlist do, but this write-up and the way these picks are rationalized just rubs me the wrong, wrong way

He thinks back to his time growing up, and about how insignificant his grief was in the space of the universe, just as his personal worries matter not at all to the bustling business continuing to go on around him. He thinks about his mother and father and how they've influenced him, and his regrets and joyful memories about his brother. He makes peace with himself finally through his faith, and the idea that the universe is ongoing, and loving each other makes the struggle worthwhile.

Now that I've just been totally condescending, I'll say that I don't understand why people keep saying "I don't see HOW that all comes together!" about The Tree of Life. I thought it was actually pretty straightforward, but I can certainly understand it not clicking with people.

While I don't get the love for Contagion, which was often so sterile that the threat wasn't felt, this is a nice list. Good to see love for Beginners and Hanna, amid other great films that are getting more attention.

You know nothing of my work. You mean my whole fallacy is wrong. How you got to teach a course in anything is totally amazing!

I've only found like two other critics willing to do that, which I can't figure out. It's my second favorite movie of the year, and it's so exhilarating, stylish, and rife with symbolism and subtext that I can't understand why more people aren't all over it.

You must be joking. That film is tense and riveting start to finish. It's as close as an arthouse film will ever get to a rollercoaster ride.
