Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul.

Rating: 4/10 (4 June 2007)

The Fountain  I was waiting for this flick for a long time, it showed so much promise. First of all the story  eternal love, reincarnation, the tree of live  its just my kind of a movie. Second  the director Aranofsky  he was after requiem a great white hope for me  brave and poetic. Third  the cast Jackman was always dependable, and I admire Weisz (so strong in Shape of things). So i was very impatient to see this flick. The trailer just sharpen my appetite. And then i saw it, and felt bad  because i really wanted to like this movie, but i cannot. The story had a promise but it was really badly structure and the three stories  past-present-future didn't connect for me as smooth as they should  so the revelation at the end was pretty predictable and instead of catharsis I felt a a little bit intrigue, but whole more bored  and that is coming for a guy who could watch Tarkovski any time of a day. The acting is OK, but given a bad story it cant rise above and its such a shame (what could have been is shown clearly in bathtub scene) because this movie could be next 2001, instead its movie with pretty pictures, nice music, nice story with bad screenplay and self-indulge direction.
