I just saw this... While it was ambitious, well acted, and features some of the best cinematography I've ever seen... I just couldn't help but be bored stiff by it. I'm not even gonna pretend I understand the ending or any of it really... it was quite incoherent (and not in a fun Lynchy way). But yeah, the reviews seem to be split down the middle on both sides. I really wanted to like it but it just wasnt happenin' |

It was pretty easy for me to understand. less than Lynch more like a bizzar Ingmar Bergman type of thing... I'm just curious about the flowers in the end more so than anything else. S P O I L E R S SPOILER///SPOILER///SPOILER///SPOILER/// well not really but: mainly I wonder if The flowers were meant to be cheesy from being that Creo wrote in his ending to her love story or if I was to take itt seriously... |

I didn't get ANY of the symbolism in the movie. I could spend hours going over my theories for every single object and person in Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive and what it's alternate meaning is... But this one just went right over my head. I guess from the preview I was expecting more of a "fantasy" movie (I really could go for some more epic fantasy movies- LOTR style) and what I got was a psuedo intellectual art film... (thats also what I get for not reading any reviews... as Frank Costanza says: I LIKE TO GO IN FRESH!) it was good in its own way- but you really have to be in the right mood for it. |

saw it tonight, and gotta sat, i was kinda dissapointed by it. im a huge aaronsofsky fan, and have come to understand that his films come with a bit of pretension and over-the-top-ness, but this one went slightly too far for me. the cinematography was gorgeous, the sotry line intriguing, but it just seemed to be a bit.... cheesey. also, if im not mistaken, the movie was free of cgi (save for that one bit in the end), which is quite impressive. (the psychedelic backgrounds were created using a kaleidoscope). **SPIZZOILER*** the way i took it was that the mideval part was the story izzy wrote, while the future part was the final chapter which creo wrote. so yeah, i dont see why people seemto be so baffled by this film, i found it far more conventional than most reviews i had read lead me to believe. |

I got it half right. It wasnt really mind boggling by any means, It was just really interesting and dealt with topics, themes and storylines that hollywood doesnt really go for. I thought he used microscopic photography of bacteria and things of that nature to create the special FX. My biggest complaint is that it was so short. I really would have liked to see more of the conquistadors... I also like that he used the guy from Pi the one who played the Russian mathematician who plays Go. I hope Aronofsky uses theories and myth in more films. I loved Requiem for a Dream dont get me wrong. But Pi and the Fountain interest me way more. I also like that he isn't afraid to experiment with older styles of cinematography instead of going overboard with extremely cheesy CGI effects that become dated and look like shit 5 years down the line. |

I haven't seen it, and I don't know if I ever will. However, I am positive it is the worst film and the most spectacular failure of all time. |

I must say that it provokes absolutely wonderful reviews, though. " this is a deeply silly, rather awful movie. But The Fountain is also so passionately sincere and heartfelt about its own silly awfulness that it eventually grows somewhat pitiable. It's tough to kick a mewing kitten, even one this stupid and ugly. A pal recently pegged Darren Aronofsky as “arrogant, but in that same way we all were arrogant at 12 years old, back when we still thought we were the first people who ever thought of anything.”" ", Izzy has come to accept that she's dying and is rather looking forward to it. There's lots of sonorous violin music to underline the wisdom of this, though it doesn't keep Tom from poncing about doing tai chi and yoga in a desperate attempt to find her a cure. [...] There seems to have been a missed opportunity with Donovan the chimp, who recovers nicely from his tumor. No awe in death for him. Pity they don't let him sing "Mellow Yellow," though." |

i loved it |

Great film. For the first hour I wasn't enjoying it that much, it felt too contrived for a symbolic film. In the end things came together, and perhaps It was because I was adding my own theories and ideas to it that boosted its appeal. |

Aronofsky goes Buddha. Saw it today. Dropped few tears. But also it seemed so long movie (however it's only 97 minutes). I loved the lighting design. Cinematography was OK. And definitely too much FX. 3.85/5 |

i agree i went into it hearing that it was "short" it "felt" extremely long cool, thanks for the update Well, TTYL |
||||||||

|
|
it isn't that much symbolic but it's more taking some existing philosophies about death (and accepting death and doing yoga, lol) read a book instead |

It's ugly and stupid. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
did you watchurded it by now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. It was ugly and stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But yet your heart still somehow goes out a little bit to it, just because it's so dumb, weird and strange? |
||||||||
|
|

|

I was hoping that would be the case, but not at all. I just felt patronised and insulted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im figuring that when i'd have turned it off after 10 minutes i might have gotten something from the film. so really i have myself to blame |

I was expecting it to be overhyped but it really is a great film, not just a great horror film. You owe it to yourself, as a self-professed horror fanatic, to watch it. |
||||||||
|

one day i will give it a go |
