A beautiful and creative story...

... that wasn't put together with enough dummy clues to allow viewers who are unfamiliar with spiritual concepts a step-by-step instruction of what to think and believe. I was so relieved by this!
When you understand the philosophy behind the movie, the motives for the disjointed segments becomes clear. The funny thing is that the movie demonstrates that you don't have to understand! The Fountain has something for everybody, including those that call it junk, it's damned funny when you get it!
I loved the effects. I loved the moods and the sets. The acting was wonderful, I'm grateful that Pitt didn't get the part, not that he's not a good actor, but it just wouldn't have worked so well. The majority of the cast has already been proved, but this role gave Hugh Jackman a well-deserved chance to demonstrate his ability. And Weisz too. Such realism and passion, as those who have faced disease and death know what this looks like. There is so many valuable lessons in this movie. I'm literally just sitting here going "...wow." and wondering how to right it.
YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!
I wished it were longer. I wish it had been me, any part of it. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD or blueray. The movie did poorly because it wasn't mainstream, but I hope that they don't stop making movies like this!
