The Fountain - Ending Sequence {Truely poetic Sci-Fi}

submitted by Doc_M

1 decade 6 years 7 months 2 weeks ago

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING. THIS IS THE END OF THE FILM.
Using almost ZERO CGI in the entire film, The Fountain is one of the most poetic and extraordinary Science Fiction films in recent history.

This has immediately become one of my absolute favorite science fiction films of all time. The rhythm of it keeps your heart in time with the characters and the tragedy and rebirth that defines their lives. The movie is best taken without reading descriptions or spoilers. If you take a moment to suspend your disbelief and take it in, you will understand the complexity of it and who and what is when and where. The connection of the stories is both tangible and symbolic and rhymes in a way almost as if it were more of visual poetry than basic story telling. The only perhaps incongruous moment is that of the fate of the conquistador who seems to meet his destiny unintentionally. I'll say however that that is the only moment I was disappointed with in the entire film. I could see this film being loved by foreign audiences more than American. If you are a lover of old fashioned slow, pure, and thought provoking science fiction, you will love this film. If you're looking for Star Wars or the like, look elsewhere.

The score is also legendary.

That and Hugh Jackman's finest acting performance of his career...
