ONE love, blood, life
I lied, I got distracted and I'm still on, I'd be interested to hear what aspects of Requiem's style you thought bled over into The Fountain. As for The Wrestler being 'anonymous' I rather thought it was the point seeing as how it was focusing on someone who'd kind of slipped into obscurity, and I liked the documentary look to it, which doesn't always work but here gave it a real authenticity. Perhaps it was just so striking to see him go so minimalist (even the score is barely there) directly following The Fountain. What did you think of Rourke's performance though?
Perhaps The Fountain isn't perfect, but it is one of my all time favorite films because of how ambitious, thought-provoking, beautiful and emotional it all is. Hugh Jackman's performance, particularly in the 2000 section is simply devastating.
