And the point is?

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2009)

It seems a bit much. I was annoyed by what seemed to me the confusion of the stories. I would have preferred a more straightforward telling, with less cutting back and fourth. Much too much time spent showing the bald figure standing at the "tree of Life," And who is he, by the way? The queen is, I suppose supposed to be Isabella, who sends Tomas on a question. This is, I suppose in the story that Izzi wrote, and I get this, except that I never figure how it ends. What does he write in the last chapter? How does what he reads, and which part of it affect his outlook? If he is supposed to be accepting of her death at the end, is it because of somethings he has read, or experienced, or what? I am puzzled by the bald Jackman in the Bubble. What is the significance of Tomas basically turning to grass after he eats the nectar? Usually I can puzzle out films like this, but maybe I should read the comic book first. Very nonlinear.
