| Description: | The Fountain is a 2006 American science fiction/fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky that follows three interwoven narratives that take place in the age of conquistadors, the modern-day period, and the far future. The film stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, whose characters' romance exists in all three time periods. The Fountain explores the themes of love and mortality, drawing influences from the The Fountain of Youth and The Tree of Life. The film is framed with visual language by using transition scenes, light, and shapes. -Wiki entry |
If I could give this movie more stars, I would. I rarely like movies because I'm entirely too active to sit down and watch them. This movie not only held my attention while I had a million other things to do, but it also ran my emotions through the whole range of human feelings.
The images were fantastic, the story line draws one in instantly, and the ending is one that leaves one questioning meanings of life, love, mortality and what happens after this life.
I wish I hadn't paid to see it. Not worth a video rental either.
I enjoyed this movie, it brings the whole quantum physics thing and human emotions into play ! Good movie! Sci-Fi romance!
