60 of 160 · most liked firstA piece from Darren Aronofsky's film "The Fountain". There's a hopeful quality in it, even though it seems a bit melancholy. Together We Will Live Forever - Clint Mansell
positive · AI labelView post →When Darren Aronofsky made THE FOUNTAIN, he didn't want to use much CGI. Instead, they filmed chemical reactions with macro photography, giving the film unique, surreal effects that still look amazing today. He wanted the film's FX to hold up like 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. What happened to that guy?
neutral · AI labelView post →The intro movie for Kirby Air Riders includes the Fountain of Dreams with the Star Rod! Sakurai knows how to tug at the nostalgic heartstrings.
neutral · AI labelView post →With certain filmmakers you can chart so clearly how they get there and if you know anything about how The Fountain was made (insufferable movie they had to redo everything on using some incredible budget practicals), it all lines up.
neutral · AI labelView post →He made The Fountain, the most beautiful movie ever made, and he made Requiem, which is about fisheye lenses and me feeling bad.
positive · AI labelView post →staying ridiculously on brand here, but i think DEATH IS THE ROAD TO AWE from THE FOUNTAIN score absolutely turbocharges the emotional impact of the movie
positive · AI labelView post →lol my favorite movie is THE FOUNTAIN
positive · AI labelView post →Obscure YT of the day: Orson Welles wrote and directed a legendary television pilot THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH for Desilu in 58! he hosts & narrates & was very fond of this ("it's the only comedy I've ever made on film"). Essential! www.youtube.com/watch?v=maDT...

neutral · AI labelView post →Been listening to movie soundtracks and thinking about what an impact they can have when well done. Inception, The Fountain, Gladiator are a few movies I can think of off the top of my head where the music is a huge part of the experience in my memory. Do you have any favorites?
neutral · AI labelView post →THE FOUNTAIN is 20 years old next month. Darren Aronofsky has lost his way since, but that movie still has a lot of power. It barely got a theatrical run, but I saw it in the theater, and it floored (and still floors) me. That score, too. An all-timer.
positive · AI labelView post →CALVARY is in competition with THE FOUNTAIN for my favorite movie of all time, and the only reason the latter is ahead by a hair is the score
positive · AI labelView post →Oh good, one of the characters in the Fountain of Youth movie is a paintings curator at the National Gallery—sorry, unnamed museum on Trafalgar Square.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Fountain. I get why most people don't like it, consider it overwrought, etc. But that movie pierced me in a way nothing has before or since. Seeing it alone in a theater on release on Thanksgiving night was honestly a spiritual experience the likes of which I'll likely never have again.

positive · AI labelView post →. Mood: Awe A sonic journey through time, space, and the depths of human longing. Composed by Clint Mansell and performed by the Kronos Quartet and Mogwai, this piece serves as the emotional & thematic crescendo of The Fountain film #musicsky #moodmusic #musicchallenge youtu.be/C69RtZzKsFE?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh it’s impossible. Aubrey Plaza is having an amazing time in it, easily the highlight of the film. Jon Voight has the same haircut as Angelina Jolie in Hackers, which I could not get over. Visually, feels like The Fountain got thrown into a blender with Madame Web, Moulin Rouge and Batman & Robin.

neutral · AI labelView post →#filmsky Remember the charming 1954 film Three Coins In The Fountain, about love in Rome? The opening and closing scenes at Trevi Fountain put it on my short list of places to visit, and this and Rome’s other fountains are exquisite. And why didn’t the movie warn us about these yummy gelato shops?
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ll always love THE FOUNTAIN. As a survivor of family having cancer, that movie profoundly moved (and still does) me. Coming to peace with loss, and not fearing change… that movie is a masterpiece. But Darren lost his way. The Darren that made that movie is gone, I suppose.
positive · AI labelView post →I personally like The Fountain better, but for me there's no more quintessential Jennifer Connelly film than this one.

neutral · AI labelView post →Aronofsky films, ranked: 1. The Fountain 2. The Wrestler 3. Black Swan 4. Pi 5. Requiem For a Dream ^^^ THESE ARE GOOD MOVIES ^^^ 6. Mother! 7. Noah 8. The Whale ^^^ THESE ARE NOT GOOD MOVIES ^^^ Noah is an atrocious movie but gets points for the genuinely impressive evolution montage.

neutral · AI labelView post →Am a fan of books that advertise “soon to be a major motion picture” where the movie wasn’t then made. Alt timeline vibe Got other examples? Pre-AI-lunacy Aronofsky spent years trying to develop an adaptation of Flicker but think it was abandoned around the time of The Fountain #booksky #filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Mansell's score for The Fountain is the best movie score ever made, period. Death is the Road to Awe might be the single best instrumental track from any soundtrack.

neutral · AI labelView post →THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH is a fascinating movie. There's a solid basic Guy Ritchie level of entertainment underlying it, but it's completely sexless. You CANNOT make a good pulp adventure comedy that isn't horny.

neutral · AI labelView post →Pathetic. When he couldn't make THE FOUNTAIN, he spent a year rewriting and redesigning the film and figuring out a way to make it for half the money. It's a beautiful film. It feels handmade. You can feel the human passion in it. That filmmaker is dead.
