Review of The Fountain (2006) by Jayd — 03 Dec 2006
A prime example of a movie that critics just don't get. It calls into question the intelligence of the people writing about it, particularly those who say Aranofsky's 'reach exceeds his grasp.
' This is a complicated and assured film, one without easy answers. Everyone said these same types of criticisms about Kubrick films. The critical lambasting here just goes to show how little we expect from our films, how shocked we are when we're challenged by them, and how negatively we react when we can't understand them.
Don't listen to the media static - see this movie.
