"The Fountain" blew me away...

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2006)

This movie is undoubtedly one of the best movies ever created of all time. It takes on a whole new meaning to the concepts of primal fear, death, love, loss, creation, and rebirth. The critics are wrong. Listen to me and listen well.
To me this movie has shown how the fear of death can run someone's life rather than letting the person live their life and experience the joy of living with loved ones.
The soundtrack is notably one of the best around. "Death is the Road to Awe" on the soundtrack is a masterpiece. The music will surround you and drown you wave after wave of beauty and emotion.
The visuals are amazing; mostly done without any CGI.
I'm a guy and guys don't usually cry, but this movie made me cry. The story is not what you would think. The past and future are more likely than not metaphors to support the struggles of Tommy and his wife Izzy in the present. For most of the movie Tommy in a selfless and yet selfish ambition tries to find a cure for Izzy's tumor.
This movie is not for people who are average. This movie is for those that think and comprehend on a much higher level. Keep your mind open and in the last 20 minutes I garantee you will feel what I felt.
This movie has changed my life, and I can't say that about any other movie I've seen.
See this film.
