The Fountain

I'm not sure where this should go, please move this to its proper location...

I went and saw "The Fountain" last night and left thinking "what the heck was that about?" Not the chick flick, bodice ripper, feel good movie I thought. Apparently I was not the only one who thought that. One guy feel asleep, two guys thought it was awesome, six girls had the same blank look I did (there were only ten of us there). As girls often congregate in the restroom after a long drawn out movie we began talking about it. I was left more confused, so her are my questions..

During the inquisition was the spanish queen executed?

In the garden of Eden there were two trees. The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. Eve took the apple from the Tree of Knowledge right? Why did she not take it from the other tree? Did it not bare fruit? And lastly what would have happen to mankind if she did take from the Tree of Life? My scripture knowledge is terrible, if you can point me in the right direction other than saying Genesis, I can look it up.

Thanks for you imput, and IMO save your $8.00.

Peace

So basically you were expecting a romance and got a movie that actually made you think?
 
After Eve had also taken the fruit of the Tree of Life, God said that Man would have become as gods, immortal.

This is ancient Babylonian stuff, by the way, and it is very poorly integrated into the rest of Jewish theology (for instance, God keeps referring to himself in the plural).

Thanks Digger your input is greatly appreciated.

As always HT you are a beautiful ray of sunshine. Your comment is duly noted and mentally deleted, unless you'd like to enlighten me on what the heck is wrong with me! What a minute..that leaves me wide open. On second thought, thanks for stopping by :wavey:

Now that sounds like your kind of foreplay!
 
No..that would be shove the sack in his mouth so I don't have to listen to him talk while I do him silly....
 
The movie was'nt about Ponce De Leon or had anything to do with anyhing supernatural like reincarnation or anything.
BAsically all the stuff about Ponce, the quest, queen isabella and the tree of life was all just the BOOK that Izzy was writing, "The Fountain". The reason she was writing it was because she had an interest in that period of time and she saw herself as the queen and her husband( Dr. Thomas Creo( Hugh Jackman) ) as her conquistador seeking out a metaphorical "fountain of youth" for her to save her life through his work in science to cure her tumor.
The whole part of him in the bubble in the future was mearly symbolism of where he saw himself( alone, in pain, slaving away, obsessed, destroyed, isolated), still with the tree he had planted @ her grave which was sybolic for being part of her.

The movie was actually too simple and basic imho. I thought it was going to be much more than what it was. And i thought it would have been much much better if they had of followed the more fictional " Fountain" mythology. But they didnt and the movie was a turd

save ur Money

Wow thanks Wulfgar, you got all that out of that "simple" movie? I am impressed. I see where I got messed up in thinking the "book" had more importance to the plot. I was never any good at symbolism and your interpretation of the bubble was amazing. Still with this new found insight I won't see it again.

Gymgurl a big LOL, HT and the popcorn. I don't know about licking your face after 5 boxes, unless it's for exfoliating purposes :) Movie popcorn is one of the few reason I go to the show, salt no butter please :chomp:
