The Fountain

[avad]

Director of one of my favorite other movies, Pi, Darren Aronofsky has done it again...

I just watched the film 'The Fountain' and am in all tears and awe.
The visuals are gorgeous...the love story moving..and all through time time time as I love to go...

I have been following trails with the Tree of Life again recently...Yggdrasil...in friends posts, my friend Selima's recent painting...even running outside at night because of its sudden strange projection on my backyard...but I could not get any pictures(!)and heard the strangest scariest sounds(honestly I was creeped and ran back inside)...and now here it is in glory. If you've seen the film, take a look at my favorites folder on flickr...and you'll see why visually it is my dream come true...Eliav, Evonne, Daniel you must see this film.

I like the bit in the movie with the conquistadors, but I fell asleep during the rest of the movie...

I was right on the edge with this one. (I absolutely hated Pi, I walked out after I decided it wasn't going to improve.)

The imagery was wonderful. The whole reason I went was to see a non-CGI starfield. But the three segments didn't have enough to do with each other, and what they did have in common seemed... codependent.

I'd own this on Blu-Ray, just to have a silent visual in the background.

ah, well, you know... we saw this in theatres. the visuals were spectacular. neither the bee or i enjoyed the plot; i feel like Aronofsky found a simple emotional tap to exploit and fixate on. "yes, dying wife, sad story. yes, sad. obviously sad. okay, i get it, it's sad! okay! i'm sad! what more do you want!?!?" i dunno i never felt right again after Requiem for a Dream.

I love the soundtrack from the Fountain. and the visuals! we went to see Hugh Jackman do taichi against a starfield and that's what we got! but boo dead/dying wife. does that make me callous?

p.s. I liked PI best. oh and we saw cloverfield and hey i liked it but then again i'm a boy. (but emily liked it too!)
