The Fountain
Film · 2006
Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world.
The sides of The Fountain
- A surgeon racing to save his dying wife
- A conquistador searching for the Tree of Life
- A man drifting through space with a tree
The Fountain is good for you if…
- you like a love story stretched across a thousand years.
- you like golden light and images that feel like a dream.
- you want to be moved by a man who can't accept his wife's death.
The Fountain is bad for you if…
- you want to know exactly how the three stories connect.
- you need the science to hold up, not trees in floating bubbles.
