Negative Positive
Title: A great journey
Review: Abstract, and arguably a little disjointed, The Fountain is also quite genuine, well-thought, and beautiful to the eyes, ears, and heart. It deals with some of the most written about philosophic issues of mankind: love, life, death, possibility of an afterlife, and what it means to be at peace with the reality of the world (ironically, explored through science fiction and fantasy). Although it has a rotten rating on rotten tomatoes (only 51 positive), and I can see why many might find it to be simplistic or overdone, I found that I was quickly absorbed into the world(s) created by Aronofsky, and was touched by the simple yet exceedingly important (and so easily overlooked in the real world) issues and themes it explored. Plus, all the philosophic and metaphysical stuff aside, the sound-track and scenery are both awe-inspiring.
