As a religious person I have to ask: Why is the top rated comment in every Fountain video always someone lecturing me about how they don't believe in God?
And YES I got the Buddhist overtones from the movie, thanks... Buddhism and theism are not mutually exclusive. (Heck, Hindus insist that Hinduism and monotheism are not mutually exclusive)
Buddhism is a monist religion = all things are aspects of one indivisible thing
Beautiful, philosophical, thought provoking. I love the entirety of this movie. However, I still have to say what I first saidupon watching the part where the conquistador discovers the true nature of the sap:
Wow... i'm atheist, let me enjoy my Buddhist, artistic imagery, and beautiful music... stop putting christ into everything, people. I love this movie... and this scene especially.
Well really it the same I find more in buddism that resembles relativity i,e Energy cannot be destroyed I liked it was scientific but there was a spiritual aspect and his "past life" was corrolating with with present
Why do these beautiful and very personal images always, ALWAYS, need to be wasted away because some internet nobody decides to lecture us about his views of God through the YouTubes?
The Christian God is understood by Trinitarians as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; a single infinite being who is both within and beyond nature. Because the persons of the Trinity represent a personal relation even on the level of God to himself, he is represented by all Christian denominations to be personal both in his immanence (in his personal relation toward us) and in his transcendence (in his personal relation toward himself).
God is usually held to have the properties of holiness (separate from sin and incorruptible), justice (fair, right, and true in all his judgments), omnipotence, omniscience, omnibenevolence (absolute goodness), omnipresence and immortality (eternal and everlasting).
God is believed to be both immanent (meaning that he is with and within all things), and transcendent (meaning that he is outside space and time, and therefore eternal and unable to be changed by forces within the universe). Although the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox churches, and the various Protestant denominations believe that they worship the same God, some have differing beliefs about his nature.
In the Christian religion, God is the eternal being that created and preserves the universe. The Bible never speaks of God in an impersonal sense. Instead, it refers to him in personal terms — as one who is, who speaks, who sees, hears, acts, and loves. God is understood to have a will and personality and is an all powerful, divine and benevolent being. He is represented in Scripture as being primarily concerned with people. For he is an all seeing God.

ART!! omfg hhhaahaha this is like watching shit that was thrown at a wall slide down the wall it hit its so shitty when it finished in the theatre i started laughing and the entire theatre laughed with me it was soooo terrible that i have trouble believing it was really made thanks for the laugh
OK--I've tried to understand this--Does the conquestador turn into a shrub because he chugs the sap? If he had just eaten a little of the bark like the astronaut who he have attained immortality?
it's basically the same story 3 times over, in what could be called the past, greed over came and in turn caused his 'death', the 2nd time is because death was quicker than he was, the 3rd time is both the beginning and the end, he is the first father in the end and the beginning and the end is one in the same meaning the legend of the tre is also his. without knowing how to use the tree's properties properly, he dies, but in the end he finally understands.
the astronaut is charged with finishing the story, but he can't because it is his only link to the woman he loves (the guy in the present is actually writing the story about the astronaut writing the story). The astronaut is linked to life and the conquistador by desire (I think the desire for the ring represents this). When he finally decides to give up desire he gives up his flesh (by killing the conq). Only then does he get what he desires. Its not about immortality, its about transcendence.
i disagree. the guy in the present was trying to find the cure for death. the guy in the present found it and lived for 500 years trying to bring back izzie by taking her tree to the nebula. writing a book about a guy writing a book seems kinda weird. i think the past was the only part that was in the story. present and future were real. but neither of us knows because its open for interpretation
BEHOLD!

"God" is NOT a singular, separate and distinct entity assigned human traits by religions designed to mire humanity.
