Movie descriptions are lousy

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2007)

Where do they get those "Plot Lines"? It is NOT about 3 parallel lives spanning over 1000 years. It is one man's reconciliation with death. It is 3 aspects of HIS life, his heart, his mind and the spiritual aspect. The heart thread of his life is told thru his wife's story, the mind is told thru the story of his life and the spiritual is . . . well, all that spiritual stuff with the tree out in space. That is it. NO 3 lives or 1000 years, but 1 man, 1 life and his reconciliation with death. Simple. And that is why it is so powerful. No one can hide from death by putting a film over any aspect of our lives, all 3 must grasp it and gain the 'grace' from that knowledge. That's its power.
