The Road to Awe...

This movie by Aranofsky is truly a masterpiece. The setting, the story, the photography, the musical score, the actors and their acting. A lot of people didn't like this movie and, really, it's no shocker as they have grown accustomed to commercial Hollywood films the likes of Titanic.

The movie has a very surreal environment, as if it's taking place in a dream. Fragments of different stories intertwine to reveal a whole. The main characters are the same in the different stories. Different stories? Yes, but only one theme. They all have a mission a bit different from the other, but somehow they are all connected to the tree of life. Of course they are connected through Izzy's manuscript, but the connection goes beyond this one. Izzy is Tommy's wife in the 'real' story, the other two stories originate in Izzy's telling about the search for the tree of life beginning in Spain, and according to her, ending in the future. They all lose their loved ones in the search for the 'tree,' as it may be the cure for cancer, the search for a fabled tree or the quest to resuscitate it.

In any case, death is the beginning to life. But still I don't quite get this movie. Watch it, think obout it and comment here if you have another opinion of the movie.
