>If you are unhappy, you shouldn’t take it as God’s disfavor. Just the contrary. Might be the very sign He loves you. He shows His love not by helping avoid suffering, but by sending you suffering. Keeping you there. To suffer binds you to something higher than yourself. Higher than your own will. Takes you from the world to find what lies beyond.”
I get the point, I even think it's a nice point, I just take issue with the fact that the film is 99% style and 1% substance.

It’s 100% both
ehm sweaty gnostics believed jesus didnt have a real physical body (since the physical belongs to the realm of the evil god) so according to them he didnt suffer
Therein lies the mystery itself. Maybe then it’s not physical pain that frees us but spiritual?
>Missed the whole point
I thought it was just a movie about Hollywood being made up of vapid degenerates.
I think it’s about the MC trying to stay abreast in said sea of vapidity?

It was the israelites who, with awe inspiring consistency, dared to invert the aristocratic value-equation (good = noble = powerful = beautiful = happy = beloved of God) and to hang onto this inversion with their teeth, the teeth of the most abysmal hatred (the hatred of impotence), saying, "the wretched alone are the good; the suffering, deprived, sick, ugly alone are pious, alone are blessed by God . . . and you, the powerful and noble, are on the contrary the evil, the cruel, the lustful, the insatiable, the godless to all eternity, and you shall be in all eternity the unblessed, the accursed, and damned!"
>DurRR thERE IS NO MIDDLE GROund
You should strive for God alone and take your lots as they're dealt. Neither rich nor poor are intrinsically good or bad.
Night of crap more like it

Well thank you God, but maybe it's time tk make me feel something good on earth too, okay? Thanks byeee
holy cope batman
This is some manipulating/coping shit, man.
It’s actually Gnostic shit but ok
No it isn't. Gnosticism says we suffer on earth because the material realm was created by an evil demiurg.
It also says through Christ (suffering) we can know (gnosis) the hidden, supreme divinity, please don’t tell me you missed the whole point?
Missed the whole point
No no we get it. It's just magic's not real.

Nietzsche - Genealogy of Morals
The idea of powerful people being de facto good and noble is silly, maybe israelites had a point there.
So we should strive to be poor and miserable? Enjoy your slave morality.

One of the worst movies I've ever watched.
A Hidden Life > To the Wonder > The Tree of Life > > > Song to Song > Knight of Cups
Knight of Cups was way better than Song to Song.
They're both are bad and on par with each other.
nah, Song to Song was just Malick doing whatever he felt like, Knight of Cups it's actually pretty good, also The Thin Red Line mogs them all
A Hidden Life is probably his overall best, tbh.
more like cup of crap
Maybe I’m partial to this film because I watched it while tripping my dick off
