I always thought Hugh Jackman was a "good" actor, until I saw The Fountain. Then I realized, no, he is a freaking GREAT actor. What an incredible performance.
We often forget mortality is a gift as well as a curse. It tempers us with the knowledge that everyone around us may not be there tomorrow for us to say we are sorry or we love them. Another gift of mortality is it sets us free from the baggage we cannot let go in life. Some pain, time can never heal for some of us.
watch this film absaloutly loved it :) , but could someone help me out? , is hugh jackman playing three differant characters with similiar stories or is it all the same character just living for longer cos of the tree of life he discovered in spain ,
@handy207 The Spanish Conquistador is just a character in Izzi's book, I guess the character in the Bubble spaceship is more open to interpretation, it could be Tommy's character who used the medical break through he found with monkey to live forever, or it could just be his ending to Izzi's book.
I don't suppose it really matters, the film is about dealing with death, it's Tommy and Izzi's present day story that is important, the rest is just metaphors and symbolism.
i watched 21 grams, the fountain and the machinist back to back....i just codn't take my mind of hugh jackman!!! his acting is superb so is this underrated movie!!!
@TwistedGentleman Ok thanks...so does 2:20 basically equal 500 yrs later? Or is it just the story that he wrote to finish the book? I don't really understand this movie I've only watched it once.
@cottoncandychic It's up for personal interpretation. One way to look at it is that Future Tom is the final chapter in the book that Present Tom writes. Alternatively, and how I've seen it, Present Tom and Future Tom are both real, but the Conquistador is fictional. However the fact Future Tom "appears" in the Conquistador story is jarring to that perspective, but I still feel it's the most natural conclusion to me.
The thing that gets me is how simple yet deep it is. She gives him the pen and ink to help him move on and create something more after she's gone, but he uses it destructively trying to create something permanent that can never become anything else. It's heart wrenching, but so amazing... BEAUTIFUL work
@Emirichan317 Good job catching that. This entire movie is incredibly deep, with multi-layered meanings. Sadly, it seems most people misunderstood it.
Beautiful. Don't stop uploading scenes from this film. The more people that can have a taste of what it shows us, the more people that might become just that much more enlightened.
to all the people that disliked this movie i guarantee its because you watched it with other people watch it alone and i guarantee you will see it in a whole different way it hits you way harder when your aren't trying to mask your feelings around other people
This is the scene where I begann crying, and I couldn't stop. When Tommy is tatooing his finger with that pencil, and it flashes to Tom, who's tatooing his hole arm, with the same pencil, I couldn't hold myself ay longer. Sitting infront of the computor, alone in my dark room, with the door shut, I was crying more than I have ever cried before. Yet I was happy, having watched this movie, and being led to it by Clint Mansells awesome music. I salute you, Aronofsky. I salute you.
Everything about The Fountain is incredible. My all-time favorite part of the film is the end of this clip, "All these years, all these memories, there was you... You pull me through time." It makes me cry every time! You can feel his love for her! It's the most romantic and beautiful movie I've ever seen. Perfection. :)
I think everyone (including me) either almost cried or actually did cry while watching this movie. It is a painfully sad film. This crying scene was acted out so well. I watched it because I love Hugh Jackman and I was in the mood for something other than being forced to watch dumb, cheesy movies like Twilight. This is way better. Just sad. Like the acting is way better. This is probably one of the saddest movies anyone could watch. But it is beautiful. Just like Hugh. I love this movie.
@HughJackmanBaby when he stabbed the tree, I was more excited than I am with most sports games. I had my hands in the air, and it was all I could do to not scream at him for killing the tree.
@bernadotte913 SO SO SO Right. I cry everytime but can't help watching it from time to time. I know it is not related, but it reminds me of the performance of Brad Pitt at the end of Seven. A masterpiece.

I dont understand how he loses the ring and what is the purpose of tattooing an image of it on?? can someone please explain it to me?

@tacomantwenty5 maybe he wants to recreate that feeling of still having that ring, being married, her still being alive and together ...

This movie is my favorite. Tommy's love for Izzy was undying.
I, and others, are working towards making that a reality for our physical bodies.
Eternity with your loved ones...just imagine!
