A film so unique, so fascinating

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2007)

I am going to buy this film in DVD very soon. I want to keep it. This is a film unlike anything I have ever seen. It's like a beautiful picture that is partially abstract but carries deep meaning. Without a good director, this kind of film could totally flop or lose its focus or become a very, very confusing film. Fortunately, Darren Aronofsky knew what he was doing.
The film captured my attention from the beginning to the end. The computer graphic is so beautiful, especially the scene of the tree floating in the space with millions of stars surround it. The music is beautiful and haunting. The performance of Hugh Jackman is excellent and Rachel Weize also did a good job in her two roles.
This is a film about mortality. It talks about the truth of death and birth, how these two things cannot be separated. It talks about what eternity actually is.
However, for those who does not want to watch something philosophical or complicated, don't go for 'The Fountain'. You may not enjoy it. It's a film that you must think a lot while watching, not pure entertainment.
