On the second viewing it all became crystal clear to me. There is not one misplaced image or word of dialog and I am in awe of this artists ability to realize his vision with such artistry. It is a great story of love and acceptance of loss. The three time periods are really one in my mind. The telling of Izzi's story and Tom's present and possible future which he rejects in the end by choosing a different path. There are not many movies like this and it will eventually take its place amoung the other great works of our time. Share this movie with someone special.
