Again 😏 It's one of those films you must watch for yourself. No need to check genuine reviews of film lovers or "professional" reviews of semi intellectuals who are getting paid to write in a column style maximum-5-sentences-allowed sort of analysis over a production where they, even while they get paid for it, clearly have no clue and no interest about the essence of stories or other fictional works.

"The Fountain" is an amazingly deep film brought in the only way possible. Captivating, romantic, heartbreak with in the background the religious believes if there is life.... after someone died.

The scenery and transitions from present to past to what might come, fit the mental struggle humans suffer in many cases. Or, what's our purpose and why.

An truly amazing film where you forget its acting you look at, garnished with beautiful sceneries.

A tiny gift for the creative and dreamy parts of your brain.

Well, if you understand the essence of story telling in this way. If you do, you might find that this is merely a bridge over troubled water to help you out of the well paid blurry but non interesting professional reviews to the side of where you can sit, relax and enjoy a nice journey, with a cuppa and some munchies, to an open end, religiously spoken ofcourse, at peace. 😉

Enjoy the film...

I can't wait for the sequel. Like "Safer At Home 2".

Only to make sure I remember the first one and therefore avoid the temptation to watch it. These kind of recordings are not films! Films are stories told by using stories, the use of actor's and the will to live while watching.

There was no horror. There was no Science Fiction. There was no romance. There was no thriller.

And the only drama was me watching it. I have nothing with the found footage concept or anything that is remotely linked to it. This one is linked to it. It doesn't matter if you call it "Zoom", or "TikTok" or whatever. There is no reason at all to torture viewers with such rubbish. I want to know why this kind of productions get a green light to pollute my view and insult my story absorbing and therefore creative dream part of my brain.

Warning!!! Don't watch it. Or suffer the wrath of lost time you can't get back anymore.

Note: The only interesting scene was the the police officer shooting and killing someone for no reason at all. That did ring bells with reality.

But over a lenghty recording those 30 seconds produced no added value to this .. I don't know.. What was it actually? 🤷‍♂️

Its when you don't have to think, argue or analyse them.

Its when you don't think in actors, acting, reflection etc.

Its like a book you can indulge in.

A good story, book or film, should invite you to become part of it. It shouldn't make you think about actors you recognize from other films. A film fails if an actor or actress makes you think about another film. And although it's a personal thing and therefore for everyone different, its how you feel the story and are able to become part of it. As a listener, viewer and yeah, for some even identifying yourself with characters.

So don't get upset by reviewers, professional or not, but just enjoy this film as a book. The kind of which you actually don't want to read the last page. Only because the story will be over and done with.

That should explain my 10/10.. 🙂
