Plot: Requiem for a Dream director Darren Aronofsky switches gears from drug-induced urban malaise to abstract science fiction with this time-tripping symbolic tale of a man's thousand-year quest to save the woman he loves. Moving between representational stories and images, this meditation on life and death focuses on the concept of the mythical Tree of Life that is said to bestow immortality to all who drink of its sap. In one of the film's allegorical timelines, a 16th century Spanish conquistador played by Hugh Jackman sets out to find the tree in order to save his queen (Rachel Weisz) from the Inquisition. Another conceptual story finds Jackman centuries later, struggling with mortality as a modern-day scientist desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi. The third and most abstract concept finds Jackman as a different incarnation of the same character-idea, this time questing for eternal life within the confines of a floating sphere transporting the aged Tree of Life through the depths of space. Still more avant-garde than his breakthrough film Pi, The Fountain finds Aronofsky almost completely abandoning conventional story structure in favor of something more cinematically abstract. Though the film was originally slapped with an R by the MPAA, Aronofsky & co. re-edited it to conform to a PG-13 rating. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

this movie was not artistic. it was not majestic. it was not genius, or brilliant or 5 star. It WAS pointless, stupid and trippy. I will however, concede that it would probably be my favorite movie to get high to. I could alternate between this movie and being fascinated with a kaleideoscope (as a matter of fact, maybe that is were others are getting the art vibe from, kaleidoscopes ARE pretty).

The movie was too weird for me. I thought it was going to be a different type of time-travel movie. I didn't like the movie at all, but it was a very beautiful movie to watch...visually.

This is a visually arresting movie with powerful messages about what is beyond life & how to let go of fear of death. It also reveals how medical professionals themselves are death-phobic & often emotionally shallow when faced wih life/death decisions for others as well as themselves. The acing is superb, but sometimes confusing when moving back & forth in time travels. Nevertheless, a must-see particularly if you have lost a loved one or if that is imminent.
