An underrated masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (8 July 2015)

Among its wonderful movies, this one an exception. And I believe if Aronofsky had shot Batman, we would be missing this one. Just like "Requiem for a Dream", "The Fountain" is an emotionally intense movie and Aronofsky perfectly defines "love" in its pure form in a strong manner. Although the movie highly refers to religious contents (I believe), it deals with the events, feelings and imaginations we find in a daily life. The topic of an "eternal life" is so well described that the movie shows we're missing what is in front of us, or behind us. The flashbacks from the very start gives you the idea how the movie/script will lead to, however it somehow surprises when it gives the key answer sought in the movie, or in our daily life. The book written in the film enhances the storyline of the movie while complementing the main ideas another simultaneously. Not to forget, in addition to the ones above, the acting was amazing thanks to the strong brand-names. Very strong, very intense masterpiece. A very well-narrated theme with a different perspective. Impressive impact lets you to think about life- death again. A must see.
