Darren Aronofsky The Fountain was a colossal failure. Approaches its box office remained well below his small budget, and the critics took the mediocre.
It was also one of the best science fiction film in the last decade. and here's why.
A painting unlike most movies today, The Fountain used very little in the way of computer-generated graphics.And yet the visualizations are some of the most interesting and beautiful ever seen in a movie. On first view spectacular scenes in deep space as spectacular displays colors and light. These were conducted by photographing in the deep sea organisms in three dimensions, and the effect is more beautiful than any CG ever could deliver.
But the rest of the movie is just as beautiful, in less spectacular ways. The movie's set was brilliantly lit, designed (or selected), and the weft in unique and effective ways. Even the protagonist Tommy Creo (Hugh Jackman) House is transformed into a work of art by Aronofskys care and attention.
The film takes place in three periods (past, present and future). each period has its own visual appearance, but is connected to two other thematic.At one point in the movie drive Hugh Jackman towards a city on a freeway night. Soon after, tours in the past, he is a dirt road towards the city on a horse. Both visualizations is in a way otherwordly and haunting, and clearly intended to strengthen the similarity between the signs Jackman play in all three periods.
An apparent Aronfosky story is deep, complex and perhaps a little complicated. Taken as a movie in the sense that we have come to view the movie (a vehicle for a story) maybe the critics are right, it is not so amazing.
But this is not a film to be valued at the same level as the most movies.Fountain is full of metaphor and stuck together importance, much of it is only loosely connected at a constant level. It is an aesthetic work, but a profoundly powerful with an abundance of meaningful themes and ideas.
Fountain is a film that raises repeated viewing.There is a lot and more can be found here, a veritable treasure trove importance. While its plot will never stand up to scrutiny, it is not really the point.
A phase of Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weiss provides the emotional core of The Fountain.Their act is by turns intense and powerfully understated, and the express lines so that arch in tone, as smaller actors would not completely, rendering decisive moments, wood and convincing. they take this arch dialogue and transform it into a prayer sadness, nostalgia, rage, and finally acceptance.
Jackmans performance alone would make this a movie worth watching.He plays three distinct characters here and manages to combine them without udgiftsdækkende them all in a single role, he is really convincing. throughout the movie and drive it forward unrelentingly, even in his quieter, calmer moments.
A song Clint Mansell score is so strong that it seems to cover almost half of the movie He beats from beauty ... for dark repression in sure careful strokes, explore its melodies in different and uniquely suitable ways throughout the movie. His soundtrack is worth hearing itself-I have listened to it repeatedly even. Combined with the images Aronofsky puts forth on the screen, is it an aesthetic masterpiece, like the rest of the movie.
The film's climactic section, scored by Mansell's Death is the road to AWE, is something everyone should experience the. end of the song will leave you breathless, contaminating the culmination of everything Mansell carefully prepared through the rest of the movie.
A movie with The Fountain, Darren Aronofsky has proven that he can create something really powerful and really outside perimeters for storytelling and traditional filmmaking. is seen as a painting, a poem and a stage, combined thematic and aesthetic, is this a fitting masterpiece to filmmaker respected.
