"Aronofsky’s exploration of death as an act of creation is a topic I‘ve never before seen explored in this much detail in film. I certainly didn’t pick up on all of the imagery and philosophical themes, but it left me contemplating human existence, which I think was the goal.
The Fountain is an emotionally dense yet compact film. The fact that Aronofsky was able to tell a story that spans 3,000 years in just 96 minutes is wild."
"Just did a rewatch and I still love this film. The three storylines focus on mortality, love and loss. Visually stunning and heartbreaking. Interesting tidbit: Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett were originally supposed to star in this but I can’t imagine anyone but Jackman and Weisz in these roles. Plus we got Benjamin Button with Pitt and Blanchett later. Win/Win. "
"It’s a wonderful love story of a couple throughout time—reincarnation and all that. It has eternal love as a theme, just like What Dreams May Come. So if you liked What Dreams May Come, you’ll like this one. And the effects are visually stunning, just like WDMC. Plus, it stars Hugh Freaking Jackman, so what’s not to like?"
"Time line, Mayan "

"To say this film is sadly beautiful is an understatement. This film tears me up (in both sense of the word)."
