A masterpiece?

Ok, The Fountain is not for everyone. In fact, I went to see it with three of my buddies and two of them thought it was the worst film they've ever seen. Personally, I thought it was bad ass.
The director,
Darren Aronofsky, also made the great film
Pi and
Requiem.
The movie itself follows three different story lines that are tied together, but also have nothing to do with each other. Confused? Yea, it is. The main idea behind the film is that there is a Tree of Life, mentioned in the Bible, which was located in the Garden of Eden. It has the power to grant immortality.
If you like action movies, if you like comedies, if you like horror movies, you may find yourself bored with this movie. In fact, I'm not even going to recommend this to anyone. Wait for the DVD, which I imagine will be much better. After all, a movie that spans well over 1000 years is hard to tell in 93 minutes. It was probably heavily edited and cut down. Again, wait for the DVD.
