Darren Aronofsky screenplay by story by Ari Handel story by. More like this. Watch options. Storyline Edit. Three stories - one each from the past, present, and future - about men in pursuit of eternity with their love. A conquistador in Mayan country searches for the tree of life to free his captive queen; a medical researcher, working with various trees, looks for a cure that will save his dying wife; a space traveler, traveling with an aged tree encapsulated within a bubble, moves toward a dying star that's wrapped in a nebula; he seeks eternity with his love.
The stories intersect and parallel; the quests fail and succeed. Death as an act of creation. Drama Mystery Romance Sci-Fi. Rated PG for some intense sequences of violent action, some sensuality and language. Did you know Edit. Trivia Warner Bros. Goofs The "Xibalba Nebula" in the movie is the Orion Nebula - which is not gold and does not contain dying stars, unlike in the movie.
It is largely pink from ionized hydrogen gas and is a stellar nursery where young stars are forming. The first stars to die there will be massive and will not create nebulae first they will supernova instead.
Quotes Isabel : For every shadow, no matter how deep, is threatened by morning light. Crazy credits The movie ends with a white out, which represents the Big Bang or creation of the Universe.
Auds who cannot parse that must be plumb parsed out. Is the film a success? Not for most people, no. The tree sharing the space bubble with Tom is the Tree of Life that Tomas was seeking in the early chapters, and the movie explains that the bubble is en route to that nebula he and Izzy see in the sky, which she would know and explain was believed by the Mayans to be the origin of life.
I could go on like this, but having searched the 18, messages in my g-mail account, I find that one reader, Matt Withers of Brunswick, MD has it all figured out in elegant detail. His explanation will be found elsewhere on this site. Can a typical aud member be expected to do the heavy parsing that would figure all this out? I doubt it. Most movies, you like to have them all parsed before you buy the ticket.
Did I have it figured out? There is a critical belief that you should not bring story elements to fiction that cannot be found there. Stephen Hawking will back me up. Fiction sets its rules. Get it now Searching for streaming and purchasing options Common Sense is a nonprofit organization.

Mongo June 16, Uhhh yeah That sure was something, kids won't like it, high people sure will though! This provocative, overwhelmingly human sci-fi is an absolute masterpiece. The best advice I can give to anyone planning to watch Darren Aronofsky's 'The Fountain' is to avoid the trailer like the plague.
