The Fountain
:blink: :blink: I am in total awe of this movie. Before i give any details I just want to say that the movie is stunning, beautiful, breathtaking, heartrending, intimate and transcendant.
It's a movie that is almost a meditation in itself. I was left with that wonderful feeling of cyclical completion and total peace of mind, or rather of "no mind" that i am left with after a wonderful yoga or tai-chi session. It finds the place where there is no line of separation between the self and the universe.
The visual aspect of the film is stuninng, the transitions are smooth and even small in-between moments show an immense amount of care and skill to create the overall vision of the piece.
The story is much too hard to verbalize in a summary form. The main aspects are love, sacrafice, and eterninty. It's very much a modernization of classic myth, which inspires awe and brings the divine into intense contact with the everyday. It's very meditative and cyclical, to the point where you stop thinking about the plot, the story line, what's going to happen, etc. and just *feel* the story. it's a beautiful thing.
This movie is a must see. I don't care who you are, you will get something from this film. It may not bee what I, or anyone else felt/learned/experienced/saw but it will be profound.
rating: 15/10. (yeah. thats 150% its that good.)
