WARNING: Potentially CONTAINS SPOILER... What The Fountain experience was to this viewer.
In my mind... the film handles (with kid gloves) those issues surrounding death, loss and grief and that it's not about aspiring to a futile immortality to conquer them but to find our way to Heaven, where our loved ones are waiting to spend eternity with us.
It's about taking advantage of the time we have here and now to love and to live. To not waste one moment of the scarce precious time we have been given to express that love.
It's about soul mates and how two being's love and destiny transcend physical death and whose spirits are bound together throughout all time and impossibilities.
It's a BEAUTIFULLY made film which goes through a great deal of time and painstaking effort to bring that message across to people who may otherwise be drudging through their lives. I hope it awakens minds and helps improve the lives of those willing to heed such a message, rather than disappoint some simple minded movie goers. The message was not wasted on me. The Fountain is a truly wonderful and enjoyable film.
