The childhood formation of a man's personal relation to God.
Most of it is crazy great, but the ending ruined it for me. What better way to follow up an awe-inspiring death of the universe than with 15 minutes of people hugging on a beach? Bah.

When the tree that Jacob and Gracie love playing in is cut down to make room for a new road to Woollyville, the two learn a valuable, God-honoring lesson of losing something we love for the greater good of the future.
5-6 grade. This story is a biography of the life of philosopher/scientist, Charles Darwin and all of his discoveries and travels. May be too controversial to present to class.
DP was again the great cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki
A árvore da vida aproxima o foco na relação entre pai e filho de uma família comum, e expande a ótica desta rica relação, ao longo dos séculos, desde o Big Bang até o fim dos tempos, em uma fabulosa viagem pela história da vida e seus mistérios, que culmina na busca pelo amor altruísta e o perdão.
