Thanks, everyone! Certainly making me feel better about my decision. 🙂

I don’t know the film? What’s the tree symbolise?
Without spoiling too much (everyone should see it!), Hugh Jackman plays Tommy, a doctor who’s trying to find a cure for his wife’s brain tumor. There are also two other stories running in conjunction with the present day story: a Spanish conquistador looking for the tree of life for the Queen, and a man in the future taking the dead tree of life to the Mayan underworld in outer space (Jackman and Rachel Weisz play each respective character).
The image above is from that future section, a “spaceship” of sorts taking the tree to be reborn. Each of the three stories are set 500 years apart, so the film takes place over the span of 1,000 years. It’s visually beautiful in almost every way, and the film speaks to me on a very personal level every time I see it.
