The Fountain (2006)
Not that I couldn't think of a title for this blog. I couldn't zero down on what it would be! Because this is a movie of mixed bags. The three intertwined stories are absolutely well collabarated. Same people playing different characters with a similar tinge is an age old eye - catcher. And this movie is no different.
A very weird and original storyline. A man researching on monkeys with brain tumours so that he could save his wife from dying of the same illness. The wife, who is now hallucinating due to her tumour, is writing a book on a Spanish queen who sends a Man to fetch the elixer of life so that she could live forever with this man. She leaves the last chapter for her husband to finish. The last chapter is very vague - this man trying to enter a dying star through its nebula (in outer space) so he can make the tree immortal. (The tree is like the dying wife)
Metaphorically speaking, the film is very rich. Hugh Jackman does an allrite job but Rachel Weiz is stunning as the spanish queen.
Darren Aronofsky has done a masterful job of directing this film. Visually its very appealing, like Van Gogh!
Rate - 3/5
