Thought Provoking beauty

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2007)

I think, after reading many of the IMDb user comments, that many people do not know how to rate a movie. You do not rate a movie on how you thought it should have been, or by the level of understanding you have of it.
Many people simply give a low rating if they do not immediately "get" a film. Quite a shame... If you do not understand something it does not immediately make it bad, or good for that matter, but it certainly should not warrant a poor rating... an educated rating is a good one whether it be a 1 or a 10.
The Fountain is one of the most thought provoking (and beautiful) movies that we will ever see. The attention to detail along with the use of light and sound make the sensory portion of the film almost as astonishing as the story (which can be interpreted many many ways, which is its beauty) ######## For those that rated this film a 1, I think that it says more towards that person, than to the quality the film. ##########
