Quick note on The Fountain :
Aronofsky is obsessed with making movies about obsession. In this case, a physician driven to find a permanent cure for death (and try to save his loving wife)
Thus far, it’s not my favourite in the Aronofsky catalogue ,however, there is a beautiful story here. It’s confusing initially but that isn’t a bad thing sometimes. The viewer is forced to either, make sense of it, or move on.
6.8/10 space bubbles
That’s the one. I don’t think It’s a bad movie. I’m just weighing it against the rest of the directors efforts.(I’m currently reviewing all of them with a focus on his singular style)
I have not seen the Scorpion King yet, but I’m guessing my favourite movie is way worse 🙃
