Review of The Fountain (2006) by Jeremyb — 29 Jun 2007

This movie touched me. It may not have touched other's but just as any work of art - some may understand and some may not. It's really just a matter of personal preference and style. I can see why some of you folks think it was a bad movie in some ways.

For me it was amazing. I will also say it bears being watched multiple times in order to fully grasp the imagery and plot to the best degree. I enjoy movies that you need to and want to watch more than once to understand.

I gave it a 10 because it is my new favorite movie and will be for a while until something else comes along...and with so many of the movies in the past years being just the opposite (shallow, uninteresting and overdone) it may be some time.
