XIBALBA - THE FOUNTAIN

[roonalwazlib]

OK, so what the hell is up with all the weird ticking scratching sounds at 2:07 and elsewhere in the video?

[ToraXaolin]

Xibalba...? Why are we mixing Judeo-Christian and pre-Columbian Mayan mythology...?

[MrsNeuraa]

for about one year i have been writing all my poems with the soundtrack of this movie... and unfortunatly i didn't saw it yet.

But i'll see soon.

sorry bad english* peace

[hellfire292]

"The Fontain" - czyli Źródło -Piękna muzyka i piękny film - Może zniechęcić Cię początek, ale wytrzymaj i obejrzyj ponownie-POLECAM

[Ataturkistan]

watch The Arrivals people

[johnnyjj76]

This was my adulthood star wars. This movie is implanted in my phsyci for ever. This blew all modern film away in special effects, music,story,directing. You can feel their feelings in the music, expressions, acting. Mixing love,death, religion,history,science. you either love it or hate it. you get it or don't. I was fortunate to see it on the big screen,it was amazing!!! This movie takes you to differnt level of awareness,touches on dream state levels of thought...

[turfute]

jackman's  bald face looks kinda .....feminine

[FeIixTigriS]

BEST MOVIE!!! Best music.. it smells love from beginnin to end...

[elelome76]

This movie is a work of genius. I have never seen a deeper and more intellectual film dealing with the theme of unstoppable mortality. Her impending death is made so beautiful because she is so at peace with it - it is his duty to "finish my story" as she says - to make perfect her own struggle with death. There is, possibly, no better scene in movie history than the last one, moving from the reflourishing tree, from which he plucks the seed, buries it and the movie ends. No film like this.

[jayanth1255]

this is the awesome words r not enough to describe this movie...

[saygram]

Where'd you get all these amazing pictures from 8->?

[clodoff3]

I've never seen as a grand movie as this one...it mixes all the fundamental concepts of so many cultures...the best movie ever!

People who don't like it, it's simply because they dont understand it...let them go see avatar

[Korneliusz78]

idealny film, lecz niewielu potrafi go zrozumiem :(

[bluberrypenguin]

[swinki33]

o-m-g

[SJamesGray]

No, you didn't spoil anything, but my other comment here may have....oops.

[elahramintrco]

This movie & music is awesome !!

[fleurgi]

is she supposed to be isabella of castile when she is in spain?

[Luvhimtilldeath]

the movie is aslo about how hugh experience he´s wifes cancer...

Thats what her book is really about the soilders invading "the cancer taking over her body" and hugh has to stop it "in the book as a solider" in real life as a doctor.

The movie is very deep, love it....

[cooltune]

Subtle nuances in the film:

-Hugh constantly being dressed in dark tones as Rachel was constantly white.

-The tattooed ring on his finger was the first of the many "tree"-rings on his arms. Therefor loosing his ring symbolized the start of his grief/journey. Finding the ring ended it.

The music just complemented the film to such an ultimate extent. Just beautiful.

[phillyP84]

@cooltune i never noticed that before. i wonder where my ring starts, and where it ends, if it ends. i love this life and i hate it too, opposites are a constant, happiness does not exist without suffering. great comment

[2FreshFoSho]

i dont fucking get it and its irritating because everyone says its a beautiful film and they love it, but i just got done watching it and i have no clue on what just happened

[Yirmeyahu23]

The whole movie is about an experience of darkness to light. Its basically saying that the only real way that you can experience life is when you die. Its what the Mayans use to believe

[SJamesGray]

@Yirmeyahu23

I'd argue that in the end his life finally opens up because he realizes he is going to/ has to die. That's the only way to experience life. At that moment all his previous lives come together in the culmination of his final death at Xiabalba.

[Sabbatai]

@SJamesGray I think the same thing. So many people miss the whole "I'm going to die" aspect of this film and think that it only focuses on his feeling of loss and helplessness in regards to his wife only.

I think she is obviously part of him now but that the deeper story lies in his realization that he is going to die as well.

This is in fact a large part of the fear and anxiety that people feel when they lose a loved one. Their OWN death then seems more real, more possible.

[SJamesGray]

@Sabbatai

Right on, I'd say that 's the whole point. The realization of death takes different forms for many people, but if we can come to some acceptance with it, liberation arrives.

[MusesMetaphorium]

@Sabbatai You are so right about this. When death takes someone we love, we curse it, because it separates us. But when it comes for *us* we need to see it as MERCY - it's there to reunite people. And the greatest realization is that it has *always been* Mercy - even for the ones it took before that made us hate it in the first place.

The alchemists always said that the material realm was "fallen" (The Eidola) and only representative and symbolic of "the real world" (The Eida).

[melanyebaggins]

just watch it again. It's very deep and metaphorical, and it has many many different interpretations, all of them right.

[killerazc]

How long has this movie been out?

Because here in Aussie we haven't got it in any video store

[MetallicAFreaK1993]

im not sure but i think since 2006

[killerazc]

wow thanks a bunch :D

[junnkster]

I found the trailer by accident on youtube and damn...the movie simply blew me away. Dunno how I could miss this piece of art till now. It simply brings tears and chills to my spine... A true masterpiece. Period.

[K20civicsirturbo]

@junnkster what is the movie called?

[1952YOU1320TUBE1952]

@K20civicsirturbo

The Fountain my friend

[Glorious1986]

@junnkster i wanted to see this movie because of a still picture of the tree of life on a video.. I played the movie and before the movie was finished i had already downloaded the OST... I think it's the definition of masterpiece! The symbolisms, the artwork, the plays... OH GOD!!!

[Rosariogalio]

@junnkster samesies 

[Annemiemanni]

i just love this movie! it's fantastic!

[SNIPEQUEST]

This movie is up there with awesome. Very intense sound track.

[enara]

Xibalba is the best song i hear in my life, soo beautiful, soo sad...soo wonderful

[jtomos]

It is called melancoly.

Greatest deception of feelings.

[6un6lord6]

it is the best movie i have ever seen..

[pkgurl122]

Possibly one of the BEST movie I have ever seen, as well as the soundtrack. A true beauty and magic.

[Evana12a]

this movie just blew me away like I've never been before.. This is a real piece of dream, magic, fairy... I saw it on video, bought it on the spot, and regret like hell I missed it on movie theater !

[awazha]

check out 2001 space odyssey as well.

[Hasfast]

Completely agree, Evana12a... this Movie is so majestically magic and powerful. I recall I was simply stomped on by it. D.R.

[sharkbaitsurfer]

@Evana12a I also regret missing it a the theatre, but I would have needed to wait 10 minutes for the tears to subside - it still gets me every time

[invisiblekat]
