Review of The Fountain (1934) by Brandon W — 10 Feb 2016

Out of all the Darren Aronofsky films that I've seen, The Fountain is one that I have watched before, but I don't remember what it was about, and I don't know if I liked it or not. Knowing that this is the worst reviewed from Aronofsky's filmography so far, I'm curious to see why, even though that it only has mixed reviews.

The Fountain is a great film that is deeper then I've imagined it. Hugh Jackman is amazing in it, and Rachel Weisz is not far behind from him. The past scenes are interesting, the present scenes are the most interesting, and the future scenes are very confusing.

It's not really as jumbled as people make it out to be, but I'll agree that the film is a bit all over the place. The visuals look beautiful in this that gives a sense of wonder. The writing is really good, and the characters are memorable, except for some of them.

I'm not much of a person that knows deeper meaning, so when it goes to the future, I was still interested, but was very confused of what's happening. The Fountain may not be as grand as other films that Darren Aronofsky directed, but there was still a lot of effort put into this that succeed in trying to make it a really good movie in my opinion.
