Fox Searchlight has just released the first two views of that film The Tree Of Life, which stars Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain. The studio&#8217;s official descpition of the film is as follows &#8211;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>From Terrence  Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as <strong>Badlands<\/strong>, <strong>Days of Heaven<\/strong> and <strong>The Thin Red Line<\/strong>, <strong>The Tree  of Life<\/strong> is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950&#8217;s.\u00a0 The  film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of  childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a  complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). \u00a0Jack (played as an adult  by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to  the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.\u00a0  Through Malick\u2019s signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual  grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all  life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a
