Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death."
A movie podcast where theology meets banter.
In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?"
It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.
Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
29. The Tree of Life by Terrence Malick

Well, well, well.
It’s about time we talked about some REAL cinema.
Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life is not your typical popcorn blockbuster fare. It’s a slow burning, meditative contemplation on familial loss and the feeling of God’s absence. At times it feels more like a poem or painting than it does a film.
So join the Fab Four as we dive into our deepest film so far. We’ll ask timeless questions like, “Why do boys act like that?” and “Is that dinosaur a kind of Christ figure?”
You won’t wanna miss it. Thanks for being here!
