Music from Lacrimosa (Requiem)*, a Latin word meaning crying or weeping), with film from Terence Malick’s masterpiece film The Tree of Life about eternity and the meaning of life, death, evil, suffering and other such issues that actually matter in life.
Longtimers here at the Cult of the Jitterbug know that The Tree of Life is one of my Top 5 favorites films.
So it ain’t an action-figure hero popcorn movie.
That’s one thing so great about it.
It’s an important movie.
And four minutes into this video I’m having goose bumps, every time.
———-
*Lacrimosa dies illa — Full of tears will be that day
Qua resurget ex favilla — When from the ashes shall arise
Judicandus homo reus. — The guilty man to be judged.
Huic ergo parce, Deus: — Therefore spare him, O God,
Pie Jesu Domine, — Merciful Lord Jesus,
Dona eis requiem. Amen. — Grant them eternal rest. Amen.
