Can someone please explain the title to me. I missed the last 5 or 10 minutes of this flick due to technical problems in theatre. No one saw the actual end and I don't understand where the fountain is coming from.

July 15, 2008''Together we will live forever''
Pleased more of my friends adore this film, still haven't seen anything to replace it as my number 1, The Dark Knight, There will be Blood or LOTR come close...possibly but as for The Fountain and it's material or subject matter, still hasn't been anything yet as evolved and different in complexity, from other A to B type movies. -
April 28, 2008I have never before seen a film I would so willingly label as beautiful.
It's funny, while it was running, it all seemed to make perfect sense, but now that I'm trying to write a review of it, I can't seem to put any of it into words- in fact, the sense of understanding has completely vanished, and it's all a jumble. That's what I get for trying to write reviews at three in the morning... -

February 18, 2008Love the movie, didn't get the whole parallele kind of life that was going on the movie but still it made me think about life and death and the tree of life, I actualy had to read Genesses just to understand. And of course I love Hugh and Rachel...

One man, a woman, a book, a tree.
The book, his mind,the female bond.
The tree of life in all three realities.
Death is the road to awe.
Death as a means of life.
An endless cycle, an Aztec truth.
Theres a secret somewhere you just have to unlock it. -
November 12, 2007I like how people who loved the film think people who didnt simply didnt get it. I did get it, I got everything and it simply felt too ambious and it failed. Its no masterpiece, its just some strange piece of filmmaking that could have been better if Aronosky had been able to find his focus.

people will understand this film one day, maybe when were more evolved mentally, weve all closed our minds. I completely understand this film now. I accept it, what other people think is irrelevant. Always seems whatever card you play, the more stupid people seem. The tree she is, he is, entwined in love. Some people think this film is about death or life, the truth is inbetween, death is the road to awe. Death as a means of life, falls on deaf ears in todays zombie-like society. All in our little boxes or one track thoughts. Its not happy or sad its resolute, a simple truth of rebirth and love eternal.

June 15, 2007Um filme inteligente, com imagens poéticas e uma história totalmente diferente. Fonte da Vida não é um filme para se entender, é apenas para VER, VIVER e SENTIR. No começo me senti meio perdida, mas à medida em que a história vai sendo contasa tudo se torna tão impressionante e lindo. Maravilhoso!

This film is one of the best movies ive ever seen. If you follow it through to its conclusion and are open minded, a deep thinker then its mind-blowing. As for the tree of life and Izzi's book, is it real? Is she the tree? Or maybe they both, Tom and Izzi are part of the tree in the end. Guess the main message is accepting death and its hard to lose a loved one. I could watch this film over and over, and still pick up different ideas from it.
