If your idea of life-extension is to morph into a tree by way of fertilizer, this is the movie for you." I'm inclined to agree with Eric Geislinger about "The Fountain"... I think the film sums up as yet another missed opportunity to get it right as far as life extension as a concept is concerned... The plot meanders a lot and ventures to the point of being similar to a color filled nightmare or a state of hallucination... For reasons other than my wish for a pro-extended life stance to be in the movie, many of the reviews and audience reactions about it have been negative....In fact I read that at a screening where the director was present for a "Q & A." session after the showing, it didn't happen because everyone left him there by himself. In any case, although the attempt fell short, perhaps there are opportunities here for life extensionists who have seen it to join discussions about the film on the various movie forums as well as sending feedback to the director, et al....Otherwise, it's not an entire loss, I like the screensavers that are provided at the official site in addition to the soundtrack...There is more background on "The Fountain" that may be of interest at the link below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fountain Best Regards! ~JBK Yes, you can turn me me on!
