That film is so filled and detailed with incredible meaning and scheme, it's just genius. But THE Fighter and The Wrestler....see a recurring theme there? I don't care what Aronofsky does next, I'm there opening day but I'm intrigued to see what he does with these otherwise generic sounding films. Yes, The Fountain is a masterpiece ahead of it’s time.

Either you loved it or hated it. And like a good joke, it would be impossible and counterproductive for me to try to explain why it is funny or in this case, a masterpiece. But for me, I related heavily with the symbolism of loss and being unable to accept that outcome. I loved the cinemotography. Sure, if Aronofsky had a bigger budget, some of the more minimalistic sequences could have looked better (for example, the fight sequence int he beginning). I really dugg the trippy apce effects near the end of the film, it was so 2001ish. And Clint Mansell's score was beatiful and breathtaking. I even have it on my iPod. And I'm not one to use the lame excuse: "You just didn't get it" but I do think The Fountain has layers of depth that need to be fully explored for you to fully enjoy it (like a good wine). For me, I believe that the Mayan story was from her book, and the Future spaceship story was his attempt to finish her story, and to accept her death (while at the same time, trying not to let her go). Brody,

I like to think my taste for movies is impecable therefore incredibly perplexing to me that you make the statement that The Fountain was one of the best movies of last year. Please tell me you were being sarcastic, that movie was the worst movie I have ever seen, EVER. You might try and tell me I didn't get it blah, blah, blah but that just isn't true. I hated this movie, from the cinematography to the acting. It was the 2nd worst movie experience I've ever had, 2nd to Batman & Robin. Both movies were a complete waste of life's precious time. Maybe explain to me why you felt so differen't OR confirm it was in sarcasm. I read your website everyday, I am a HUGE movie fan as well as a studying actor.
