I got the overall point of the film but the three different story lines that intertwined kept me thinking instead of enjoying. Visually appealing and above average acting but was missing that factor that puts into a great movie. |

Not as depressing as Requiem for a Dream, but not too heartwarming, either. Darren Aronofsky has great vision - as dreary as it can be sometimes, and this is an amazing vision. Just don't expect much warmth out of it. |

I am not exactly sure how much I will like this movie, it was very good, with great music, good plot, and an ending that left me sitting min my chair with awe. But...not for everyone. |

A film all about death. |
|
A film all about death - in the religious sense. About god, life, loss and fear. There are three intertwined plots - the man haunted by everlasting life; a scientist seeking a cure for his ill wife; and, the conquistadors.
Best thing that Aranofsy (Pi; Wrestler) has ever done - also Jackamn and Weisz's best work. Great score.
Apparently it divides opinions.I was meant to be a Pitt/Blanchet vehicle, but it didn't work out due to artistic differences. This makes me hold a low opinion of Brad Pitt's judgement. In my view - it divides between people with a soul and people who are soul-less. |

This fountain showers down bizarre waters |
|
The Fountain is a beautiful-looking, but hollow and strange film that takes place in three different time periods: Spain in the past, Earth in the present and space in the future. There are few characters that inhabit The Fountain, but three are played by Hugh Jackman and three are played by Rachel Weisz. On Earth, scientist Tommy Creo (Jackman) is desperately working on a cure for brain tumors using primates as test subjects; his wife Izzy (Weisz) is dying from a brain tumor. Izzy is writing a book about the Queen of Spain (also Weisz) who sends a conquistador (also Jackman) on a quest to find “The Tree of Life”, the biblical tree that will extend life forever. Amid these story threads are peculiar scenes involving a bald man (again Jackman) traveling through space in a giant bubble acco... |

Good But Never Want To See It Again |
|
I had wanted to see this movie for awhile. I finally borrowed a copy from a friend and it was amazing, amazingly depressing that is. Don't get me wrong it was a great movie but I never EVER want to see it again. I was depressed for about an hour afterwards. If you watch this movie I recommend that you leave enough time to watch something funny or uplifting afterwards. |
