Editorial Reviews

Requiem for a Dream director Darren Aronofsky switches gears from drug-induced urban malaise to abstract science fiction with this time-tripping symbolic tale of a man's thousand-year quest to save the woman he loves. Moving between representational stories and images, this meditation on life and death focuses on the concept of the mythical Tree of Life that is said to bestow immortality to all who drink of its sap. In one of the film's allegorical timelines, a 16th century Spanish conquistador played by Hugh Jackman sets out to find the tree in order to save his queen (Rachel Weisz) from the Inquisition. Another conceptual story finds Jackman centuries later, struggling with mortality as a modern-day scientist desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi. The third and most abstract concept finds Jackman as a different incarnation of the same character-idea, this time questing for eternal life within the confines of a floating sphere transporting the aged Tree of Life through the depths of space. Still more avant-garde than his breakthrough film Pi, The Fountain finds Aronofsky almost completely abandoning conventional story structure in favor of something more cinematically abstract. Though the film was originally slapped with an R by the MPAA, Aronofsky & co. re-edited it to conform to a PG-13 rating. Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Face your worst fear with the person you love...by Anonymous

February 26, 2008: The fountain forces you to face your worst fear. That of losing the person you love most in the world. The Fountain is compelling and irresistable. The message is sublime and delivered with grace and mystery. It is not in your face or preachy but just absolutely moving. My wife and I watched it together. After we left the theater she was animated talking too fast "what did it mean", "I don't understand"? I stopped her, held her eyes with mine and asked "Do you really not understand"? She broke down in tears, shuddering and sobbing. Anyone who watches this film and does not understand it either has never loved another more than himself, of is so afraid of facing the message as to deny the message. A magnificent film, score, message and visuals. Amazing acting by Jackman..
