The Fountain
« on: November 14, 2014, 12:04:45 AM »
A very mystical movie. Full of symbols, and layers and layers of meaning to unpack.

I really enjoyed The Fountain. It was unique and full of subtlety. I'm glad you posted it here, as I hadn't thought of it in a long time.

One thought:

Interesting in a film about immortality the protagonist's name would be Tom/Tommy/Tomas - i.e., "Doubting Thomas," who disbelieves in the resurrection of Christ.
