The Fountain, directed by Darren Aronofsky, is more than a movie; it is a delicate masterpiece, a charming metaphor of love as the driving force of every living thing and at the same time the only remedy us mortals have to rise above our ephemeral condition.The Fountain is basically the love story between the two main human archetypes: the Western man (impersonated by Hugh Jackman), furious and daring, persistently trying to overcome nature and his Eastern counterpart( the charming Rachel Weisz), more profound and spiritual, perceiving death and love as two sides of the same tide of life.
This Aronofsky's masterpiece is all about poetry, love and humanity. And these ineffable feelings are brought to the on-looker by using some of the most subtle special effects I ever seen. A must see for every romantic soul, a fairytale full of wisdom and sensibility. For those who are restless and fearfull The Fountain is the perfect panacea.
