and I am happy that you are happy Mr Schank. Post before and after pictures, I'm sure I'm not th only one who'd like to see th buff you. It's funny, I actually like Tree of Life quite a bit, though I didn't see it as th apex of cinematic expression that some other fans see it as, and it pleases me that my disrespectful paragraph about it gives th opposite impression because life's complex like that. I enjoyed how free it was, editing-wise, I liked how it's probable that Malick shot a few tons of footage to get th small moments he got (facial expressions, boys dragging their dog from th front seat into th back seat w/ them, baby reflexively hitting another baby, actually almost everything involving those babies ...), and I actually liked all of th National Geographic-style stuff, too. I feel what you say about bloat, but I guess if it's an excess of stuff I can get into, I no longer see it as excess. As mebbe one of th last generations of children who were allowed to run wild all day in nature unsupervised, and as one of three male children (who were raised Catholic), there was a lot in this movie that spoke not only directly to me, but truly. We're lucky that Meet Marlon Brando's up on th Internet, I think it's out of print, see it soon before somebody gets wise ......!
