I really enjoyed thie movie, and I feel you described an aspect of it in a way that I had not considered before: he has a childs understanding of what happened to him. That makes the story all the more tragic. That and being tied to what he thinks is his fate and having the outcome gratified by external forces (his father and the shaman) really puts a saddening perspective on his story. It makes me rethink the vision he had at the end of the movie, is that what he wanted/needed to see in order to accept what happened? Great review!
I heard this one was incredible. I haven't seen it myself, but this review is pushing me to go see it
