Beautiful, captivating, unique.. Not enough words to describe this movie

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2007)

There is something in this movie. Something very powerful, which is the whole beauty of it. The movie tells about 3 different stories about love spanning over one thousand years and though it is complicated, philosophical, it's pure glory for your eyes.
The director Darren Aronofsky does something so beautiful it's really hard to describe. Images after another, your eyes flow into an endless void filled with pure beauty. To me the directing is excellent in this film and it's also so beautifully shot though many of the landscapes are made with computers. This movie also shines with amazing role performances; One of my favourite actors Hugh Jackman and the always beautiful Rachel Weisz have this chemistry between them on the screen which just makes my skin tremble. It's so real, yet so surreal in a some kind of a way. All the words spoken by Jackman are so powerful and so very important for the movie itself. The dialog between him and Weisz is just perfection in its purest form.
The movie is very unique, not like any other I've seen before. I already mentioned the cinematography; In its wholeness it's superb, the use of colors just amaze you and what you see from the screen is so special it makes you smile. The music composed by Clint Mansell just flows with the movie so well it's just magnificent. From the sad and depressive to the beautiful and harmonic compositions it just fills the gaps in a special way and it simply fits for the whole main theme of the film.
The film has this hook in it which keeps you concentrated throughout it and it's just so interesting that you want to see where it all ends. So much is left for the viewer, so few answers and so many questions, genius in its own way I'd say. I want to see this movie again, as I really think this is one of those movies you have to see many times through before you understand everything in it, if you even have to understand it all. Maybe it's the movie's purpose to leave the viewer sitting in amazement with all those questions rolling in his/her mind. If it isn't, well then I just may be the wrong person to review this movie. The word "understanding" will have a whole new meaning for it after you've seen this movie. Brilliant.
