Now when we talk about understanding here, we neither mean comprehending the notion of epiphany in its religious sense, nor clearly grasping the aesthetic or philosophical intentions of the filmmaker, except as no more than a first step, and there is no reason why anyone who respond deeply to the film needs to know anything about Catholic epiphanies, nor Malick's work more generally. While catharsis can be understood by most because of its empirical dimension (its arcing of character, its carefully deployed use of music to indicate the appropriate emotional response, actions that are psychologically appropriate), the epiphanic demands a metaphysical response, a response that incorporates a dimension of the abstract, and that the filmmaker might hope will meet the abstract within oneself: our own metaphysical dimension. This seems unnecessary for much that passes for cathartic filmmaking; it works not with the edge of oneself but much closer to the centre, utilising narrative convention to achieve this emotional release. To make sense of the difference between the cathartic and the epiphanic, imagine how The Tree of Life would be told to achieve the requisite cathartic effect. The story would be contained by the fifties setting, and the relationship between the father and mother and the kids more clearly focused and more clearly dramatised, and the causes and effects uninterrupted by the abstract, by the references to the beginning of creation, and the framing story of Sean Penn as one of the grown-up brothers looking back on his childhood.
