this must only be watched on blu ray. But SHOULD be watched by all. I don't think ive ever been so affected by a movie in my life. It is artwork. It is my favorite film, and is how films should be made.
@PersonX15 I think in order to truly grasp what this movie is trying to convey you need to first start asking yourself the bigger questions... like what life is about? who we really are? why we're here? is there an after life and if so what is it? This movie plays on all of these ideas but the messages are hidden symbolically through the three linked stories... at least that's my interpretation of it... I think it's best you decide your own
I watched this movie about a week ago, and havent stopped thinking about it scince. It's beautiful enough to make you heart race, sad enough for you to feel pain and interesting enough to make the thoughts and ideas of this movie circle your brain.
The music, is so much more than music and the visual effects are beyond the essence of beauty.
The thing I love most about this film is the way he swears he will find a cure to death... then we fast-forward a few centuries, and holy shit, he's actually done it. He started out as a normal modern-day human, and he achieved immortality and went on a cosmic quest. I find that powerful.
My one problem is... which tree is in the bubble with him? The original Tree of Life, or the one he planted over his wife's grave? I wish they could be the same somehow... it feels incomplete if it's only one.
I dont' belive you should take the 3 storries as if they're linked, other than it's love betwean two beings. Meaning the "monk-like" charecter in the future ain't the same person mate.
I think this film should be watched as 3 total different stories. Nothing and everything is as it seems.
@GodHjort But what's more torturous and liberating than love? This film does represent multiple sides of love, multiple possibilities....some beautiful and improbable possibilities that they who love one another will comprehend each other's moment of demise. The point of cinema is often to provide this depiction despite the disbelief, those thoughts that we may see each other through to an ideal end. Do I believe they are possible? Sometimes I hope. Sometimes I know better.
@GodHjort One of the great things about The Fountain is how open to interpretation it is. You may choose to view the film as a collection of three separate stories, but I prefer to think that the three stories are linked, and that the conquistador was reincarnated into the scientist, who gained immortality and became the astronaut. Everyone who watches this film walks away with their own take on it.
@SPRLDR Since *SPOILERS* near the end of the film the seed is buried upon the grave in the snow, i think it is a symbolic or maybe true reincarnation of the tree that the knight/doctor previously died through and does die with....A seed is thrown where a body lies, who is not to think that some part grows into the tree if it does grow? I often think how the molecules of earth chemically intermingle.
The dust from Tom's burning corpse brush through the tree, breathing life into it, just like the death of the First Father was the source of life for his Mayan descendants (Izzi talked about this in the Mayan exhibition).
If feel this movie gives so many answers in so many ways. First time I watched this movie is was blown away. I watched it twice that day. Darren Aranofsky is a pure artist with images. Along with the amazing soundtrack, the way it makes you think about life and death, true love, and letting go of thinking in ways like good or false. You have to be some kind of spirtual person I guess to really feel this movie.
The image i get is of a man in a womb, ready to be born again or reincarnated. Xibalba seems to release him in what almost symbolizes a pregnant womans water breaking to give new life....The thing i love about this movie is that no answer is wrong.....it means so much! Beautiful!
His face when the lights die out, just as the star prepares for supernova, is perfect; it's the face of a man about to willingly face death after 500 years of fear.
@Morr1992 have you ever experienced ayahuasca? (not an analogue of rue and mimosa/etc) -- have you ever been to the amazon and met any of the shamans?
@matter0ni I have a very experienced frriend who likes this kind of stuff. I tried ayahuasca 2 times back when it was legal to buy roots in UK, he helped with the extraction. I have experience with other psychedelics too, but in moderation.
I haven't met any shamans, but know people who are into their history. I'm planning to go to Brazil one day though.
In real life he was working on a cure for his wife so she could live instead of spending the little time they have left together. He has to accept the fact that he doesn't need to live forever, which he realizes as the future self, at the very end. The past self shows how futile it was to try to live forever. What do you think?
I can't think of a greater way to die than the center of a supernova explosion. Being at the epicenter of the most destructive force known, being vaporized and having your very being spread across space in one blinding moment visible to the entire universe. Sounds fitting.
Believe that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again from the dead. He conquered death and through the gift of God's salvation found in Jesus Christ, we can conquer death and live in Heaven.
@19justinbrown88 Do you believe in an afterlife? Do you believe that God exists? Do you believe that God loves you, but hates sin? Do you believe that there is hope for us and that we can be forgiven of all our sins? ...............................................
How are we given forgiveness?.............. By repenting of our sins and admitting that we are sinners. By accepting Jesus Christ's death on the cross in your place and his blood to wash away your sins.
i didnt entirely get this movie, i guess they wanted that way. left up to interpretation. anyways..so the space hugh has been hurling through space with that tree? was he using the tree to live..? a journey like that would take many thousands(millions?) of years. after all that time of feasting upon the trees sap..it eventually died..? but the "power" was still within him? so he sacrificed himself so that his body particles would spread on the tree? lol.. idk
It's hard to explain with the character limits. Basically, that's him in the future after he plants the seed of the tree of life at his dead wife's grave. It grows into a huge tree, that he uses to keep himself alive so that he can travel to a dying star before it explodes because he believes that is the ultimate form of rebirth, and he believes him and his wife will be reincarnated after that. The tree dies RIGHT before he gets there, like his wife died RIGHT before he could cure her.
@wo0ty This goes back to how he finished the book for his wife, where the man finds the tree for the queen who promised if he found it they would both live forever. The doctor finally realizes how to finish the book like his wife asked him. The conquistador finds the tree, but instead of allowing him to live forever, it kills him. He realizes that to be with his wife, he has to die. He finally understands that death is a not a disease but a natural inevitable process.
Personally think he found a way to keep himself alive for all this time so that he could take his wife/girlfriend (the tree) to xibalba to be reborn. It is only in the final moments of the film where he finishes the book (in his mind, he doesnt have it on him), and has the old tom die drinking from the tree, this shows he finally accepts death. In this scene his ashes fall on the tree and it blooms, and grows. He accepts death and achieves his goal. After a long, long struggle.
I didn't really get this movie.. I didn't get the part where he drinks the sap from the tree and then he becomes a part of the earth.. that really confused me.
@WarsawBlues He wanted to live forever. The only way to do that is to BECOME forever. He became the Earth and the tree. At least that is what I got out of it. Think of the body as a temporary prison and this movie becomes a little clearer and more personal.
for me, (i dont know if this is correct), he was about to die, he was himself, that old man, he watches in the hospital. in the moments before he died, he remembered what he went through, finished his wife's story, and finally dies, and reunite with her.
I wish Lost had an ending like this. They could have done something like this quite easily, given the story. Afterall, the show finished with a similar sentiment to The Fountain; all life comes from the Source. Lost's ending was emotional, but The Fountain's climax was so beautiful and poignant. It would have taken the show back to its philosiphical roots while tieing it together with the characters.
death is only a figment of life, life is only a figment of reality, reality is only a figment of a greater dream, a greater dream is only a figment of creation, creation is only a figment of death
This is a very cool movie and the visuals are top notch. The plot does make one ponder the journey we are all on . The final destination we must all come to terms with and face alone.
This really does give me chills. Every time you watch it, a deeper layer is peeled. What I took from the movie is that through death we are reborn.We've become so preoccupied with looking young and pushing death away, that we have forgotten to die with grace. It is both tragic and enlightening." Through that last dark cloud is a dying star. And soon enough, Xibalbia will die. And when it explodes, it will be reborn. You will bloom... "
according to quantum physics all matter is energy condensed by a vibration
energy can not be destroyed only be transformed so the concept of constant matter is an ilusion this illusion is made up by the narrow perception capacity of our minds
but when we are energy and our capacities of perception are narrow then what does this mean for our existence and the possible existence of enitities and frequency domains (realities) that go beyond our functions of perception ?
The tree is his wife and when he burns away as you said, his "essence" flows into the tree and thus the tree comes to life. He is finally reunited with his wife and together they live as one

@DRAGONMASTER181818 To fly by straping cocks on your ancles, is it possible? I mean only cocks strapped onto your ancles not like "If you fly with a plane it's possible" everything isnt possible, Nerd name btw
Anyone ever seen The Incredible Shrinking Man? In not, check out the ending of it at Guba, or on YouTube.
Anyone who has seen it, doesn't the end of The Fountain remind you of the end of The Incredible Shrinking Man?
Obviously, The Fountain is a much more serious and sound film. But still, the endings are oddly similar, both in overall meaning and in some of their imagery. I wonder if Aronofsky was inspired by this old sci-fi movie.
Dude, that's such a weak defence, everyone knows vampires are equally dead, or undead as the case may be. Jesus goes on telling people that if they drink his blood they'll die but still live forever. Can we say: obvious. Yes we can.
one thing i notice about this movieis that people who really understand it, notice that this is one of the best storys ever made.... in the other hand there is those people who didn't understand a thing about it and end up saying stupid things like... "this is a msonic movie becouse the ring represents saturn and satur represents satan......"....... ...????????????????????.....
No i know the tree type or name is not the point of the movie, i liked that tree and i want to find it because i want to get one myself. I understand the point... thank you aynway
@betablokka i think the tree does not exists, what does exists is the seed, i have plenty of those in my house, but the tree i think was made for the movie, it wasn't real. not sure, but it's possible.
All right, i knew the tree was all made, i mean, it has some sort of skin with hair that chills the way we do, not possible in real life... my mistake, i shouldn't have asked about the tree... now that you have many seeds, what's the name of the seed and the tree of THAT seed?
@betablokka yep, sorry to tell you this man, but the tree doesn't exists. search the fountain on wikipedia, and read the part of Production, there it says how the tree was done.
do you have any idea what you're saying? The movie wasn't particularly expensive. What is this propaganda you speak of? You don't escape into Hollywood, you escape from it.

Ok its been a while since I've seen this movie and i did like it, But from what i remember the things that got to me was that... (just my opinions)
Cancer research lending to the idea that we haven't already found the cure HEMP OIL EXTRACT not hemp seed oil.
The hole premise of the fountain of life or immortality is what the elite have been striving for from the Nazi's to the conquistadors made me defensive from the get-go.
My previous comment was a bit harsh, didn't mean to offend.
yea your right, a mans journey to save the one he loves and then to finally find peace through absoute surrender is wrought with 'distraction' and 'propaganda'.............

but theres no comparing this to having the love of your life the free and loving Izzy by your side.
and you really only realize this when its too late.
so you find yourself poisoning yourself with ink while crying after finishing her book "the fountain"
then you have a death-hallucinating / metaphor-filled ending that is this clip

@matter0ni ayahuasca is a taste of enlightment, a little spark that shows you what you can achieve.
It very often creates an temporary illusion of being enlighted which leads to false beliefs/theories afterwards.
It's a tool which you operate and too many people let it operate them by falling into a deep hole of excitment and curiosity.
Every trip is simbolic, it doesn't matter what you see or perceive really, it's a long way to go.

I assume the following two conditions hold:

Time dilation explains the star's rapid evolution from his perspective. However, more questions are left open:
(1) Why is the star's light in the visible spectrum?
(2) Why do the particles pass the bubble so slowly?
The bubble technology could correct the blue shift. The particles may be traveling toward the star very rapidly.

This really does give me chills. Every time you watch it, a deeper layer is peeled. What I took from the movie is that through death we are reborn.We've become so preoccupied with looking young and pushing death away, that we have forgotten to die with grace. It is both tragic and enlightening." Through that last dark cloud is a dying star. And soon enough, Xibalbia will die. And when it explodes, it will be reborn. You will bloom... "

according to quantum physics all matter is energy condensed by a vibration
energy can not be destroyed only be transformed so the concept of constant matter is an ilusion this illusion is made up by the narrow perception capacity of our minds
but when we are energy and our capacities of perception are narrow then what does this mean for our existence and the possible existence of enitities and frequency domains (realities) that go beyond our functions of perception ?
anyone got answers ? =D

I see that he like burns away and the bubble burns away and the tree flourishes... I'm confused with this ending.
How did he come to accept death?

The tree is his wife and when he burns away as you said, his "essence" flows into the tree and thus the tree comes to life. He is finally reunited with his wife and together they live as one

Anyone ever seen The Incredible Shrinking Man? In not, check out the ending of it at Guba, or on YouTube.
Anyone who has seen it, doesn't the end of The Fountain remind you of the end of The Incredible Shrinking Man?
Obviously, The Fountain is a much more serious and sound film. But still, the endings are oddly similar, both in overall meaning and in some of their imagery. I wonder if Aronofsky was inspired by this old sci-fi movie.
Check it out and see if you agree.

Dude, that's such a weak defence, everyone knows vampires are equally dead, or undead as the case may be. Jesus goes on telling people that if they drink his blood they'll die but still live forever. Can we say: obvious. Yes we can.

All right, i knew the tree was all made, i mean, it has some sort of skin with hair that chills the way we do, not possible in real life... my mistake, i shouldn't have asked about the tree... now that you have many seeds, what's the name of the seed and the tree of THAT seed?

Ok its been a while since I've seen this movie and i did like it, But from what i remember the things that got to me was that... (just my opinions)
Cancer research lending to the idea that we haven't already found the cure HEMP OIL EXTRACT not hemp seed oil.
The hole premise of the fountain of life or immortality is what the elite have been striving for from the Nazi's to the conquistadors made me defensive from the get-go.
My previous comment was a bit harsh, didn't mean to offend.
