the Tree's story

****Spoiler***
Has anybody liked the idea of the search for this Magical Tree which brings happiness and success to whoever found it ? It is like a Tale for Children.

I think I saw this film when I was a child or a teenager and I remember being fascinated by the story of this tree. I didn't compare it to Gone with the Wind at the time, as I have not seen that movie yet. Maybe that's why people felt so disappointed about it.

I thought the story was excellent ( again as a child) From the human's eye, it is a tree like all other, but it is not.

I thought it was melancolic and poetic.

This person had a chattered childhood and that tree is like a promise where everything will be ok again, this tree is like a heaven 's island where she wishes to go and she searches it all her life without luck.

I felt the hidden message was that you had to be truly innocent at heart to find this tree. And because Elizabeth Taylor is a bit spoiled and she wants the tree for herself, she never finds it. But her son, who is innocent and doesn't look for it, finds it.

And as the film finished, I was imagining that kid becoming rich and famous.
This story really appealed to me.
