I marked this worth consuming because I still don’t know that I fully grasp the meaning of the film. While the score and cinematography were undeniably beautiful, the dialogue and storyline were very unclear and confusing. Furthermore, while the film drew primarily from Mayan legend it tried to incorporate biblical references which ultimately did little more than have me question the competency of the writer (the garden of Eden and consequently the beginning of civilization was in Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates NOT Guatemala). When the film ended, my husband and I were both dumbfounded. Neither of us could understand the motivating factor behind the film. Obviously there was concern for life and death, but what exactly was the point being made? And how many times will I have to watch it to get that point?
