I practically see myself as the character in PI and Requiem For A Dream is one of my favs...
I have no idea why it took me so long to see Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain until last night..I can't stop thinking about it, the most beautiful piece of "art" I've ever seen..
I knew on first viewing it was 3 connected stories spanning from 1500, the present and 2500ad...That helped, without out that it would have seemed like nonsense and too confusing.
You want to go into the movie knowing this:
3 interconnected story lines.
People don't accept death and want to live forever...

I think that even though a lot of people see it as a "cheesy" film, I personally view this movie as Aronofsky's finest. Yea, the story is quite a cliche and maybe not very sophisticated, but visually it's stunning and Clint Mansell's music is truly beautiful. I've seen it 5~6 times and it doesn't lose it's strength. Also, make sure you watch the Blu Ray version as it's a visual trip that must be watched in HD.

I read quite a few reviews and don't really get the cheesy complaints I read. I think that is focusing on the love story part a bit much. I got more from it that it was about him accepting death. When he smiles and says "im going to die", never quite felt that from a movie..
There are some reviews of the Black Swan script on IMDB, Aronofsky's next film that sound quite good. Sounds way dark and twisted. Natalie Portman and Winona Ryder..
I still haven't seen The Wrestler..I'm building a 200 inch home theater and that is the first movie up on blue ray in my theater.
I've heard Aronofsky be called the new Kubrick...
If The Black Swan is good PI, Requiem, The Fountain, The Wrestler and Black Swan will have already topped Kubrick's entire career IMO.
Ahh man 3rd time through....i think the people who would call this cheese are fucking morons who only pretend to get it.
I think i read the chick in this is actually Aronofsky's wife.
3rd time through I finally got the middle part of the movie after she collapses and her talk.
Aronofsky is the god of modern art, hands down..no one is even fucking close.

Be jealous that I'll watch this in my personal theater first time..I know its going to fucking kill..
Killing me to not go watch right now being such a fan boy of Aronofsky. I know I'm going to cry and its real hard to make me cry. The best things come to those who wait....

Dude, just watch the movie already. By no scale is this a movie to watch first time on 200".
Fountain? Yea. Wrestler, hell no. It was made for like 10 Mil or something.
Here are some of the movies you need a 200" to watch:
300
Watchmen
Dark Knight
Saving Private Ryan
Avatar
etc..

I've heard this song like a thousand times when it was released. Bruce was undeservedly robbed of the Academy Award in this one. Also, the song fits the movie so freaking well..
