Power, love, beauty, passion.
Have you ever wished that you could be Adam or Eve in the Garden of Eden? Maybe you wouldn't have eaten from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Maybe you would have relished in the presence of God and had nothing to hide. Maybe you wouldn't have been banished from perfection, freedom, and eternal life. I would like to think I would have listened to God and that His word against eating from the tree would have been enough for me.
This film is about a husband's encompassing love for his wife, and her story inspired by the Tree of Life from the Garden of Eden. Although most of the story is fiction, it does bring me to think about how the tree really was. Was it beautiful? What was it about it that wasn't as appetizing as the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? I think that the TKGE that although it looked good for eating, mustn't have been as beautiful as the TOL, or Satan wouldn't have had to push it on Adam and Eve. They were attracted to all of the other trees, satisfied with the fruit from the others. I also wonder how long it took before Satan tempted them. How long did he wait before pouncing on these two people?
Life! So powerful. And yet so many people take it for granted. People die for it, sell everything for it, and some give up hope of having it. This couple's--from the movie--passion for each other and life is breathtaking.
