That film kind of freaked me out but in a bad way. Maybe that was the point.

It's Aronovsky's film, the guy who also did Pi and Requiem for a Dream. Personally I didn't like this one as much as the others. I found it too cryptic and requiring loads of mental effort for my brain. The feeling of the film however was stunning. Same goes for the special effects. Maybe I need to give it another try sometimes. Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here! Need to calculate freebase or salt percentage at a given pH? Click here!

Exactly, do watch another time. I found I got a lot more out of it by the second watch. Its just so beautiful, and so many interesting themes are present... All this deal about 'tree of life', and what is immortality, death, soul, ancient cultures, love, attachment, etc... and no soulfood is not as dark as requiem.. Maybe it brings a tear but you will also have a smile

I remember I saw this movie a while ago and didn't like it too much. I think I found it boring  hehe Well I think I was expecting too much. โโโโโโ
DMTripper is a fictional character therefore everything he says here must be fiction. I mean, who really believes there is such a place as Hyperspace!!

I hated The Fountain.
I loved Pi and Requiem, but The Fountain almost had me out of my chair leaving the theatre.
I hated how the film jumped between three eras. I couldn't care about any of the characters. The tree spaceship thing was not sci-fi enough for my tastes. It was like witnessing a very personal dream of someone I just could not connect with. It went on for ages too.
I hated the Fountain so much, I avoided The Wrestler, and may never forgive Aronofsky.
This is just my subjective opinion. I appreciate that some people really liked it. My tastes lie on the opposite spectrum of this film.

It is a visually stunning movie, and the story is actually very simple contrary to what people think. The movie jumps back and forth causing people to think too hard, and miss what is actually happening. I'm not going to give a spoiler but pm me if you weren't able to understand the story. Every post made past, present, and future by DiscipleofSpice is purely fiction. Reality is in the eye of the beholder.
