* PhilosophicalParable: See An Aesop above.It's a story that fully supports Creationism. Opening with a quotation from ''Literature/TheBible'', it explores the Christian duality of human nature --the conflict between people's sinful nature and the grace God gifted them. It ends by vindicating God, aka doing theodicy, by concluding that God is always aiming for perfection and beauty that cannot be grasped by human minds. The characters, a troubled but stereotypical family of TheFifties, represent this when they discover that the solution to their problems is love (God's prime mandate).

This narrative, however, is just one thread in the film's thematic explorations, which primarily deal with the questions of humanity's place in the universe (dating back to [[DistantPrologue the beginning of time]]) and its complicated relationship with God. This is achieved through extended sequences of abstract, [[SilenceIsGolden nonverbal]], and often SceneryPorn-filled imagery, such that many have called the film the 21st-century equivalent of ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''. (Apart from the similar thematic focuses, both films also feature work from visual effects artist Creator/DouglasTrumbull, whom Malick had actually convinced to come out of retirement.)

At its core, the ''de facto'' central character of the film is Jack (Creator/SeanPenn), a middle-aged man still working through scars from his rough upbringing, including an untimely tragedy. A large portion of the film recounts this upbringing by focusing on Jack's family in [[TheFifties 1950s]] suburban Texas, comprised of him, his brothers R.L. and Steve, and his parents.

* SpiritualAntithesis: ''Film/{{Melancholia}}'' is regarded as this, to the point where it gained the status as this movie's [[DuelingMovies rival]]. As ''The Tree of Life'' concerns about the correlation of [[HumansAreSpecial humanity's empathy]] to the creation of the universe, ''Melancholia'' concerns about the correlation of [[HumansAreBastards humanity's cruelty]] to the [[ApocalypseHow end of the universe]]. Both being arthouse films with several shots of the universe with special effects didn't help.
