    this new film by Darren Arnophsky was great
    it was confusing at first but then it all came together
    and Hugh Jackman was good in his role.
    i suggest you see it especially if you liked his other films

    I was a little disappointed. I give Anonofski all the credit in the world for trying to make a film that is about something. But in the end, I think he failed. Beautiful filming, great acting, a great attempt at meaning. Allmost 5 stars, but in the end, only 3.

    I absolutely loved this. I've already seen it twice in theaters and I cannot wait for the DVD to come out.

    Hugh Jackman was simply amazing. As was Rachel Weisz (ditto for Ellen Burstyn in her small role!)

    It is one of my favorites, and probably my favorite of Aronofsky's films, who happens to be one of my favorite directors :)

    It's a good one. I only say it once though and I feel like it's the kind of movie you need to watch alot of times. I'm sure I missed a ton of stuff the first time around.

    It is a highly essoteric film. I get very emotional watching it. Merkaba fields, compression and fractality. Truly amazing. although most people I know who have seen it just don't get it.

    The Fountain is such a beautiful film! I have been weighing up whether or not to get a tattoo inspired by, or a quote from, the film for about a year now after seeing it almost ten times. The themes of mortality, true love, and the atemporality of consciousness, the delicious cinematography, the stunning visuals, and the sensational acting make this one of the best films i have ever seen. Definitely has some esoteric themes and symbology. If you are interested in the use of similar symbology The Holy Mountain is a surrealist film that explores the absurd through a range of esoteric disciplines.

    Also, I watched the Tree of Life last week. It is absolutely breathtaking and anyone who appreciated The Fountain will adore it. Prepare to lose yourself :).
