Just wanted to share some notes I took about the narration in this film. Let me know what ya'll think.
"This film is presented as a story being told by Tomar-Re sometime after the events seen in the film. The story spans from 19XX - 2010. The narration goes as follows: "Billions of years ago a race of immortals harnessed the most powerful force in existence: The emerald energy of willpower. These immortals, The Guardians Of The Universe built a world from where they could watch over all of existence: The planet Oa. They divided the universe into three thousand six hundred sectors. A ring powered by the energy of will was sent to every sector to select a recruit. In order to be chosen by the ring, it was said one must be without fear. Together, these three thousand six hundred recruits formed the intergalactic peacekeepers known as The Green Lantern Corps. Of all the threats The Corps ever faced, the gravest was an entity of fear known as 'Parallax'. Only the legendary Green Lantern Abin Sur was capable of capturing and imprisoning this beast which he did on the lost planet of Ryut. Of all the Lanterns who have ever worn the ring, there was one whose light shined brightest. At first, his humanity was thought to be a weakness. And yet it proved to be his greatest strength." Tomar-Re's natural curiosity led him to thoroughly study the sacred Book Of Oa. The immortal Guardians Of The Universe recognized his scholarship and appointed him archivist and protector of the book. The Book Of Oa is a massive book held in The Citadel Of Oa. Created long ago, the book contains the history of The Guardians Of The Universe and The Green Lantern Corps. One member of The Green Lantern Corps is selected by The Guardians as Keeper Of The Book Of Oa, a highly honored position. It's likely that this narration is Tomar-Re's thoughts as he's writing the story of Hal Jordan in the book."
