Further adding to the mindscrew and the sheer confusion of the movie: The Past Thomas sequence \\\'\\\'isn\\\'t even real.\\\'\\\' It\\\'s a story Present Tom\\\'s wife wrote. \\\"We \\\'\\\'know\\\'\\\',\\\" says the cynical audience. Yet they happily accept that Future Tom is the true and real incarnation of Present Tom some hundreds of years in the future, his life extended by a magical tree. Problem: Future Tom projects himself into Past Thomas\\\'s storyline, which wasn\\\'t real, so probably neither was Future Tom.
Either that or the director got so caught up in trying to make the movie flowery and poetic that he forgot what was real and what wasn\\\'t. He\\\'ll be the first one to tell you that it doesn\\\'t matter. Damned artists.
Also, no Downer Ending tag? It\\\'s a movie about how death is beautiful and we should be \\\'\\\'happy\\\'\\\' when it happens to us. Only the confused realization of the protagonist keeps this from being a Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story -- all three storylines end with miserable failure, having accomplished nothing except deciding that said accomplishment didn\\\'t matter in the first place. It\\\'d be downright nihilistic if it weren\\\'t implied that Tom\\\'s wife is waiting for him in the afterlife.
