Tell me about The Fountain

Yet another movie I ended up being confused by. The Fountain. It was interesting, but a little strange, and hard to follow. The ending was also quite strange. I think I have an idea, but I wanted to know how any of you who've seen the movie would explain it.

Ok, what I think is that the conquistador scenes are just Tommy's imaginings of the book, and the tree in space scenes is just his feeble mind's escape to cope with the death of Izzy. Iono
