Appreciation thread for THE FOUNTAIN

Non-EDM related...

Every single person needs to stop listening to the beats, go out and check out the wonder that is Darren Aronofsky's Fountain...

It's simply an experience you won't forget: the visuals are beyond this world and the man did it with hardly using ANY CGI?!?!!?!?
I thought it was going to be longer but the film is more about concepts and not plot so it doesnt hurt the film...the acting is superb (Jackman deserves a nomination) on all fronts, the story is beautiful and told in the most original way...
Here's some eye candy for you:







I have it down as a 9/10 so far...but after the second viewing I believe it will hit the perfect mark and prove to be the best movie of the year (yes, better than Inland Empire )

Those who've seen it post your thoughts here
Those who haven't stop what you're doing and see. this. film. NOW.

I didn't even see it yet, but I will this week-end.

There's a LOT of CGI, it's just that's it's not in your face CGI.

Well more and more, it's just fx that you would never know it's there. Like example a director likes the reaction of one charachetr in one scene, and the other character in another take, and they ask you top combine the 2. We did a lot of that in Stranger than Fiction.

In the fountain, all the lances that are thrown by indiens, are not real... snow, transitions, things that normally your mind don't think of.

And the things that you would think are definately CGI in this film are not. At least that's what I got from reading some interviews and articles about the film.
He used a couple of guys from England who specialize in something like micro-photography.
Anyway, the supposed fact concerning CGI and The Fountain is that there's 2% of it in the movie.

Heh, thanks
It really is a love it or hate it type of film...there was a bunch of people that walked out in the middle of it coz they couldnt take it and others sat in their places even after the credits finished rolling like me.
I'm really curious to see what you think about it.

OK so I went on saturday and didn't regret it. I didn't love it, but I did appreciated it. The visuals are outstanding, Hugh Jackman was wonderful, and the GGI was kick ass (lol of course). In fact I love everything about it, it just didn't get too me that much because it's a very confusing movie (edit)...

Not good confusing like something you don't know the answer and you must find your own interpretation... but bad confusing like wtf is going on. The love story is great, but was too lost to appreciate it.

I'm seeing it again very soon hopefully, I will know more about what he's trying to say but I honestly think that it's however you interpret it as long as its within the bounds of the movie's world. Was it basically the end that completely lost you?
