There is another himself in his soul, and he loves the tree as if it were her. He wanted to save but he didn't know whether he was saving the tree, her, or himself.
Her novel is not over, and he repeats it over and over again in his dreams to give it an ending. He turned into a warrior and went forward bravely, just for her words, "When you reach the Garden of Eden, put on the ring, I am your Eve."
Finally, the universe exploded and a new universe was reborn. The sun shines on the tree of life, and the tree regenerates and sprouts.
The warrior in the story greedily drank the sap from the tree of life in an attempt to live forever, but in the struggle, branches began to grow from the wound in his abdomen that had just healed.
He went to her grave and planted the seeds in the soil.
Nothing is truly eternal, except death. You know. You will. she said to him. In the end he couldn't tell who the speaker was, or what he was going to do in the first place.
So, you will wake up later.
Reminds me of a sentence in "Norwegian Wood", "Death is not the opposite of life, but a part of life that perpetuates." Perhaps the way to perpetuate is not to find some elixir of immortality, but to die.
This is cleverly explained in the movie. She died, but she still lives in the hearts of those who love her. That seed would last her life, as she said, the way the Mayans civilized and died. When the fruit of that tree is eaten by birds, her soul will fly in the sky.
It is the tree of life in the world.
