I didn’t get it
>>220228207It gets you.
>>220228207It’s a movie with a lot of great elements that don’t necessarily make a great whole.
>>220228207I'm not sure it needed to be metaphorical in the end with the reveal that he was just coping with his wife's death or some shit. Just make the whole thing a quasi dream state type narrative.That said, I consider it near-perfect and using practical effects for everything essentially makes it timeless.
>>220228465you didn't get ithe cured death and became immortal, only to realize that mortality is a better state of being and that he should have just spent time with his wife before she died like she wanted and tried to spell out for him in her novel
>>220228207me neither
One of the few movies I've ever full on cried to
>>220230272I loved this movie but cried in suckerpunch.
>>220230750sucker punch made me cry too (from my weiner)
>>220228465>using practical effects for everything essentially makes it timelessEven for the scenes in space?
after coming in contact with women and see their real nature, every movie that puts them on a pedestal gives me a huge ick, especialy when i think about the nerd who wrote such a script
>>220231539yes
>>2202282073 parallel stories. It's been many years, but this is my recollection of it:NOW - sick wife is dying; sad husbando learning to cope while also finding a cure but too latePAST - wife's fictional story about Spanish inquisitors finding the fountain of youth, mixed in with [Mayan?] mythologoyFUTURE - husbando travels to Jambalaya to fulfill his dead wife's wishes to see the death of the star. He travels in a bubble that has a tree which gives him enough sustenance to survive the journey. (Did he drink from the fountain of youth?). He evaporates himself into starstuff because lmao it's poetic n stuffhope that helps
>>220231990also:I think in the movie they call Xibalba a nebula? (i.e. a huge cloud of material in space where new stars are born).I could not evidence find a Xibalba nebula in real life.I found a star named Xibalba in 2014 (movie was from 2006), but I'm not sure if this is authoritatively recognized. It's in the Orion constellation, which does contain the Orion nebula, in our very own galaxy.in mythology, Xibalba was the entrance to the underworld, or maybe the underworld itself? sumthin' liek dat
>>220228207absolutely amazing soundtrack that carries the movie
>>220228207I think that I must have watched it but I have also completely forgotten it.I don't know what that says about it.
>>220234108it doesn't say anything about itit says you're a little zoomer faggot
>>220231990Not quite.The name of the movie is "The Fountain". In the movie, "The Fountain" is the name of the book that Isabel is writing. She accepts that she will soon die, she asks her husband Tomas to finish writing her book.Thus, there are three stories seen in the film. We see the "now". We see a depiction of the events in the "The Fountain" book written by Isabel until her death (ie - the linear story of the Spanish queen and her conquistador). We see a depiction of the events in the "The Fountain" book written by Tomas after Isabel's death (The disjointed story of the time-traveling space man of the future). I leave the obvious metaphors to your interpretation.
>>220234184I'm the same age as Leonardo DiCaprio, millennial fag.
The Fountain was a good movie.
>>220228207It was worse than The Greasy Strangler (2016)
