Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2007)

The three plots interwove flawlessly,which makes the film coherent and powerful.somebody said the explanations to the film is open.For my part i think the story actually started at modern world,followed by the future when tommy had managed to live for 500 years,kept searching for the way to save his wife,who became the tree in the future after died in the present.As for the story in 1500 A.D.,personally i think it was just Izzy's novel"the Fountain",which transformed tommy into believing the Mayan myth and take Izzy(the tree) to the nebulous as he believed Izzy would reborn according to the myth.Conquistaor Tomas finally died and lived as part of the tree of life ,that was the ending of Izzy's novel .The end of the novel was written by tommy ,since Izzy entrusted it with him before she died .When tommy finally realised that the only way to live together with Izzy was to die,he made the novel's ending this way,which was Tom's' death.In both the ancient plot and the future plot,tom died to live with his love,both death,ancient and future,reflected the motif about love and mortality.this is a hard movie to watch ,but one of the best i've watched so far.
