I am left with no words to describe this film ; an out of this world experience.

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2006)

I'm left speechless,wordless and comment-less.I cannot think of a unique word to give or label this film with.It's one of those experiences that will leave your mind bewildered.It's not the kind of feeling or effect that you get when you're watching a Terrence Malick film,where his images and speechless moments leave you with no words to describe the films.This is different from that,this is like transporting you into a world where images will speak to you and have heavy affect on you.I don't know what happened to me once I left the theatre,but I know this much that I was propelled into a world where nothing is impossible and Love always defies all and you shall embrace death and life.You are reborn or reincarnated and you begin your journey again.It's a process that will continue as long as it has to and that's how it all works.Its 2001:A Space Odyssey philosophy made me seriously want to compare this with my all-time favorite film.The philosophy is incendiary and matches inter wines with my philosophies of life,death,existence,nature,reincarnation and love.
Spanning over three centuries,one man's quest,destiny,love lies in one tree.A tree that makes one immortal.His quest begins in the 16th century all the way to the 26th century.And in the present time,a young man's wife is dying and he is struggling to extract a medicine out of a tree.His wife meanwhile begins a novel,called The Fountain.This is a love saga and a love that defies all impossibilities.
It's a film with monolithic beauty with most of the credit going to its paradoxical visuals.It's his piece de resistance.From his prominent first big film to this fascinating,spellbinding fantasy,Aronofsky has really proved himself to be the best in just three films.One of the best directors on the planet today.His script and plot may be flawed and feels incomplete and rushed,but it is not without awe and mind bending genius.
Its visuals transported me into a world where love conquers all and is above everything.No,it's not emotionally powerful,but its two leads make you feel everything that their characters feel and the power of love,life,death and existence of humanity and its feelings.Its picturesque atmosphere and unbelievable visuals,makes this his quintessential masterwork with limited budget.Unbelievable,jaw-dropping Cinematography,otherworldly visuals and slick editing along with gorgeous music really holds you well.And another flaw in this epic is that,it's not epic enough.It's too short to tackle or discuss the meaning and give you the answers to death and life.It only deals with the thoughts and notions of nature,our existence,and reincarnation.
But it's simply a scintillating experience all the way.I want to say so much more about the film,but I see no word that is worthy to describe it.It will only insult its grace.Only images can make you feel what I felt through this film.Truly the best and most confusing sci-fi film since 2001,an ending that will have you scratching your head.But to hell with all that,watch this visual bedazzlement.Giving this film an award or something would be insignificant.It's the experience that you need to feel.It's a one of a kind Love saga.Just go watch it ,and don't ask me anything about this film.I can't describe you the feeling I felt,only you can understand what I felt after watching it.
A reverberating cerebral experience
