THE END
No, this is not The End of our blog, but with the excitement that has been around, I thought it would be better if I clarified everything before starting!
This will be just a brief post to share with you my thoughts on the movie The Fountain. I will not criticize it; if you really want to read critiques you will find them everywhere and for sure I would be the worst person to criticize something when, right from the start, I would be completely partial.
This movie made me feel in every way, with my eyes, with my ears, and I should say with my heart, although I know that the thing that I feel as being in my heart is in fact in my head… I think so many times about death and why everyone feels it as an end of something. I don’t believe in any kind of spiritual life after death, I don’t believe in souls and I don’t believe in ghosts. So, probably, I should be one of those persons who feel death like an end. But for some time now I haven’t seen it in that way. I see death like recycling, with the exact some symbol: simply transformation. So why is, even to me, death so sad? Because death is not an end for those who die, it is an end for those who stay… It is my incapability to accept that life, now gone, as something different from what I was used to.
The Fountain is all about this, about our eagerness to have the lives that we love living forever and final understand that lives are always living forever, but just not the same way as we always imagined that eternal life would be…
I loved the movie, but nothing specifically; this is the kind of movie that if you love, you love everything on it. At least, this was what happened to me.
