That's what I needed to get through this movie. Talk about philosophically pretentious. haha. well the graphics were new, the sound was cool, the structure was inter mangled and the storyline had too many plot holes. I mean there was nothing significant enough to stick in memory long enough to make sense out of. Most the time I sat there wondering "What the F?" Like what's it all mean dude. Oh Wow. Now "The Departed" was a solid Movie. But, Fountain is all a mish mash of half-baked ideas.
Darron did you seriously write this or steal someones treatment and tried to make sense out of someones rough draft then called it your work. ? Hmmmm, come on, be honest with yourself ! I don't think this even falls in the realm of Arrons thought processes. Compared to his other 2 movies which had similarities, Fountain was a total departure. Now, I know we all don't live in a vacuum, so Darron you must've gotten these ideas somewhere else.
Did you like,.. download a few of those amateur screenplays, found a gem, and called it your own ? Is that it. Cause I really doubt this is your work at all. Serious. and I'll say this to your face. I'd like to put you to a lie detector machine to find out. Cause, this film, though very badly structured and executed, had so much potential. But, somehow, you just couldn't figure out someone else's work. You couldn't make it different enough without butchering it all to hell. Seriously.
How could such a potentially brilliant concept get screwed up unless you truly knew what you were doing ?
I gave this film a 1, for being a stolen idea. that's right I said it. This doesn't seem like a Darron Aronfsky Job. It's too different, also I read on Variety online that it was once called, "The Axis" but you changed the name to avoid infringing on another movie. But in fact that movie isn't developed yet. Hmmmmmm... this is mighty peculiar.
