Review of The Fountain (2006) by Jimmyc. — 22 Nov 2006
I've read a number of preofessional reviews stating that the film is difficult to follow and that the ending is way beyond anything we lowly movie-goers might be able to grasp. I went into the film prepared to leave utterly perplexed-- but this was simply not the case.
The film is not difficult to follow, and the ending is quite satisfying. There are obviously a number of metaphors throughout, but they are not so complex as to be beyond one's understanding. Certain parts of the film may be interpreted differently, but as a whole it has a rather straight-forward and powerful message about love and death.
The visuals and acting are great. The music was appropriate. It's not the best movie of all time, but it's definitely worth seeing.
