cathartic perfection

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2017)

I have seen over 1100 films now, but this movie without a doubt is my all time favorite and it's pretty hard to think of any movie that might come ahead. Being a 25 year old guy who likes dramas but doesn't like cheesy "i have cancer and i want you to remember me as i am now, before cancer takes over, so leave me" Sweet November-like movies it was hard for me to think that one day a movie like this can be my favorite but it easily is.
Aronofsky's vision, the three story line structure and the cinematography is just breathtaking. The actors, especially Hugh Jackman is extraordinary and the movie has that special kind of spirit of salvation by the end of the movie, that people who like cathartic movies will absolutely enjoy. It's not an easy movie to watch, until like the 30th minute people can get easily confused and think "what the hell is going on here", but don't worry, you are in good hands of Aronofsky's and you will get the point soon. If you understand only half of the movie on first viewing i think it's absolutely normal.
One hint i can give you is that the scenes in the "bubble" are in the future, a few hundred years after the present time line. I think this makes the movie more understandable for all those, who are watching it for the first time. I don't really want to spoil the movie for you, give it a try and don't trust the viewers ratings, it's way better than 7,3.
