Watched The Fountain (2006), directed by Darren Aronofsky. His third one. It’s a sci-fi movie about mortality and love. It’s interesting because there’s 3 stories happening at different times in history: spanish inquisition, current times and the future. Absolutely beautiful movie. The photography is amazing again. The plot is hazy at time. Enjoyed it still. The score was much better than the movie itself 7.5/10 #nodereviews

I gotta check it out. Loved Pi and Requiem for a Dream.
Let me know what you think of it
Masterpiece
I like the parallels with the cancer and natural remedies. The greed of the main character also. Really enjoyed it.
One of my favourite films
Have you watched The Holy mountain??
I don’t think so no. You recommend it?
Now I have to see it again. Fuck. 😂
It’s beautiful. The light is amazing
I’ll definitely have to watch again. The story is hazy. Seems to be on purpose. The greed…it’s depicted perfectly. All consuming
Whaaaaa dude yes like 21,000 percent. That’s an absolute must for everyone here on nostr
Ah it’s a Jodorowsky. I should add all his stuff to Jellyfin and the movie festival. Haven’t seen any. I have read all of his graphic novel series: The matabarons
My favorite 😎👌
Do it
I really like most of Aronofsky's work. I'm disappointed he doesn't have UHD releases. Even his one UHD, Mother!, seemed to use fake, upscaling, so not a real UHD.
The Fountain would be amazing in UHD, but I fear the original footage might only be 1080p.
Downloading 8 of his now 🫡
Can’t wait to rewatch Mother! Really enjoyed that one. Only time I saw it was at the movies. Really impressive
It’s really beautiful. Everytime the screen fills with light! 🤌🏾
Yeeeee let me know when you got em uploaded! Still need to add and watch Putney Swope

I feel like this movie is incredibly redundant, blunt, and on the nose. The writing is the weakest link. We loved it the first time, hated it the second time. I’m glad you liked it though.
I find the story is hazy but on purpose. A bit like a Claire Denis movie. Basically the story isn’t that important. It’s more the feel of the movie
That’s true. It falls into more of the feely art house genre. Although it rides the line of being a more accessible drama because of the on the nose dialog. My fiancé’s 80 year old grand parents got the point of the movie but didn’t understand why it had to be presented in such a weird way. I’d love to re-edit the movie and trim a ton of dialog so you have to engage a bit more with the meaning.
Loved the representation of greed in the movie. One of best I’ve seen yet. Getting punished by greed
Yeah he eats the sap and turns into plants. Some fun body horror! The visuals are so rich in the fountain. I really could give it another shot and maybe appreciate it more
This is one of my favorite movies because of the way I interpreted it throughout. Time being an illusion, the heroes journal is timeless and forever and we're all on it and everything is happening at the same time but there is an end and a beginning.
I’ll definitely watch it again in the future
I really enjoyed how time was represented. Very well executed
I’ll definitely watch it again in the future
I heard they made it into a comic book! That’d be fun
Interesting. Is Aronofsky involved in the creative process?
Or in the past!
Yes. Or now even!
I think they weren’t gonna find his movie so he said fuck it and turned it into a comic so yeah I think he was heavily involved
