LOL. Pretty much.

Just saw it last night. I loved it. I'm debating whether or not it's better than Requiem. I'm leaning towards yes. It's clearly his most mature movie.

Darren Aronofsky wrote:Well, I think if anything we're getting really heated responses. That's exciting to me. And that's what happened at that fucking first screening in Venice, was there was a fight between two journalists. That to me was the story. Not that some people booed and some applauded. It's that there was a fight, that they got into it like that.

great movie, cinematic poetry, I dont know if its better than Requiem I would have to see it agian.

Cass help me here: SPOILER ALERT.................................

Ok Im a little lost but tell me if Im right, are the past and future stories both not real or just the past? The past being Izzis representation byt the book, and the past being thomas thoughts. Let me know please.

I cant believe how much it was hated on by critics

Martin · Post by **Martin** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 4:45 am

saw this a second time (yes its out atleast in vegas and sf). i didnt catch the symbolism of the wedding ring the first time around and now with it in mind the movie was even better and more complete.

if you're debating just suck it up and watch it.

My understanding was the Spainish Conquistador stuff was her book interpreted by Hugh Jackman's character as he read it and the future stuff was Jackman's character meditating cause he was in so much pain cause his wife is dying. So yeah, you're right.

It's very confusing. But once you get it it's easy.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:19 pm

i still don't understand why it was booed.

i want to know before i spend money on this.

people are faggots, it's a well known fact

the fact that people are effected this much by it, negatively or positively, is definitely another reason to see it in itself

i won't listen to what a jew that is racist against muslim tells me.

anyone else?

LOL

When people don't understand something, they immediately think it is stupid. The Fountain is difficult to understand and so people booed it cause they didn't get it.

i see

i'll tell you if i'm stupid or not this friday.

HOLLA

Funk Docta Bombay · Post by **Funk Docta Bombay** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:27 pm

This got a terrible rating in the local paper and it was fuckin filmed here.

I was going to go see it anyways but I'm relieved that cats I trust (IE: y'all) think its worth seeing.

Will report on friday/saturday.

drizzle · Post by **drizzle** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 2:43 pm

how you gonna not listen to a jew about a movie made by a guy named Aranofsky

I really wanted to see this but was turned off by the mixed/mostly bad reviews.

Will probably see it now.

bringinoutbangerz · Post by **bringinoutbangerz** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 3:26 pm

I'm surprised at the overwhelmingly positive responses in this thread. I haven't seen the flick and kind of can't stand Aronovsky (love Rachel Weisz though, shoutout to the Mummy), but from what I've read (no Icesickle), this flick is mostly intellectual masturbation. Provocative intellectual masturbation, but masturbation nontheless. Speaking of masturbation, I would like to masturbate to Rachel Weisz, is she naked in this?

Patches O'Houlihan · Post by **Patches O'Houlihan** » Tue Nov 28, 2006 4:33 pm

No, she is sick

Fucking loved this movie. It depressed the hell out of my friend, but I thought it was beautiful. The music accompanied everything perfectly. Definitely suggest the soundtrack.

PLEASE DO!!
especially if the music includes her saying "finish it"
that shit with the music was killing me each time.

loved this film
it might be intellectual masturbation because it didn't allow the emotional weight of the situation to be central, but fuck it... i think that's the point.
that it isn't about the pain, its about understanding that it is all circular and that it is irrelevant to the greater accomplishment of becoming complete.

that's my little understanding.
loved the use of color and the fact that he kept calling her "iz" as in "is" as in "to be" and her name is Izzy Creo.
just little details I kept picking up that made it all the better.
