A Key Quote From The Now-Yanked Tree Of Life VFX Interview
Brit film mag Little White Lies published a blog entry with a little too much information about Terrence Malick’s Tree Of Life and it’s quietly been retired to farther corners of the internet. In that light, the most fitting passage may be this one: “Special effects supervisor Dan Glass states, “It’s a very powerful movie about memories, emotions, and our place in the world.” As to what he thought Tree of Life was going to look like, he confesses, “I don’t know in some ways what I was expecting it to be… I think the thing that was constant throughout the experience of working with Terry was that you know not to expect anything. There’s always something mysterious to be found.”
