The Fountain

So, velvetpage and I just watched The Fountain. I really, really liked it. I think it's one of those movies. One of those, "You either hate it, or love it" films.

Don't be ridiculous

I'm perfectly capable of doing both at the same time.

On the one hand, it felt clumsy - everything about the movie seemed really heavy handed. All the weird-angle shots, the repeating themes, the over-the-top ending of the contemporary story, they all just felt a little overdone.

But I loved the story. I loved the concept. I need more movies like that. Sci fi that's actually about exploration human experience instead of brutality, without bogging itself down.
