The Big Ideas
We have discussed the major ideas that we, as a class, believe the film presents. These ideas are:
Identity
- Our outward appearance doesn’t define who we are inside.
- The perception of others shapes our personal perception of who we are.
The Nature of Life
The Inevitability of Time
Symbolism

Clocks
Hummingbirds
Storms
