Great, thought-provoking film

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2006)

Thank goodness for such an innovative, interesting experience like "The Fountain." I just saw it at the Chicago Film Festival, and I thought it was brilliant. It is completely beautiful, somewhat bizarre (in a good way), and above all, thought-provoking. I do hope that people see it.
It is SO refreshing to see a film that one cannot "figure out" for a few hours after seeing it. Not all questions NEED to be answered in a film, and people who understand that should appreciate this film. The aesthetics are amazing, and plot aside, The Fountain is a completely "rich" experience. Also, Hugh Jackman was especially amazing -- I had completely underestimated him in previous films-- this movie will probably remain as his best work. I was completely blown-away.
