Not only the fountain, but the purpose of life

Rating: 9/10 (8 April 2017)

A metaphorical film, but quite clear about the spinal object. The primary consciousness, the source of everything and nothingness, of the infinite, of the absolute. Izzy reaches the awakening, the ultimate understanding of life, consequently no longer fears death. The symbols are clear. In the present, an enlightened one. In the past, a queen. In the timeless, a tree toward the fountain. Shibalba. Tommy denies the sacred, as does all mankind. But as the natural reflection of every human being, he seeks restlessly for answers, for solutions, for healing, for completeness. Now as a Conqueror, now as a scientist, now as a spiritual seeker. Izzy points the way ... in the three lives. Tommy only understands him in the finals. As a conqueror, he faces the "guard of the threshold", the death of the ego, and drinks from the sap of eternal life. It becomes the whole. Like the buddha in the stars, it becomes light. As a human he find the way of the heart. You do not see movies like that all day. And little will be seen. A masterpiece by Aronofsky.
