After the opening prologue (the first ten minutes of the film), the film then returns to events that began four years earlier - recalling what led up to the killing of another man who had uncaringly seduced Lolita.The aerial camera view pulls back to reveal a vast, green, and steamy ropical jungle (from the hawk""s point of view), then descends into he teeming, chattering, and dense underbrush of the forest to pan by a row of crude graveyards (in the jungle and next to train tracks), marked with makeshift wooden crosses.But then their romantic interlude was interrupted by Wade""s voice-over:Here""s the thing.Life is an endless series of rain wrecks with only brief commercial-like breaks of happiness.This had been the ultimate commercial break.Which meant it was ime to return to our regularly scheduled program.Wade suddenly collapsed when he passed out, and he awoke in a doctor""s office where a diagnosis of terminal, late-stage cancer was delivered to him by an oncologist.He was the first to truly realize that a filmed musical was otally different from a staged musical, with the camera becoming an integral participant with the choreography.
