What an incredible movie

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2007)

This in my opinion is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The Fountain carries with it a message that every human needs to understand and appreciate to live life to its fullest. I had to watch it twice to grasp the whole meaning of this movie, and I'm sure that the people that watch it once and say it is terrible cannot appreciate it anyways. I will say that it does take some knowledge of Zen to fully appreciate the movie. If you are reading this and have not seen the movie, but are planning on seeing it, I will just give you a hint and say that Jackman's character is not traveling through time. Everything that happens is within himself. It may make it easier to understand, because before I first saw this movie, I saw the trailer, and it confused many people, including myself because it made it seem like Jackman and Weisz were traveling through time and space. Just remember this is not the case. Now go see this movie.
