I completely fell in love with The Fountain and was blown away by the various interpretation of the film and the strength of its emotion. It was also the most powerful and raw performance Iv ever seen from Hugh Jackman. In this video I tried to outline all the different ways of viewing this film, with a hope that people with find a perspective they connect to.
Darren Aronofsky's Commentary track of The Fountain, enjoy: • The Fountain - Darren ... 
Кино
I love this film so much, the mystery, the emotion and the performances are amazing! As part of the research for this video I listened to Darren Aronofsky's Commentary track for the film: ruclips.net/video/-aeCUFvZFYk/видео.html
Thank you so much for this. This is one of the best films I've ever seen.
I agree its a masterpiece and doesn't get enough attention!!
It's the rebirth within life before death for Tommy ... 🌲 Tree being Izzi who becomes the reason for Tommy's transformation.
the structure is very logic, emotions have their logic - I guess that's kind of what this movie is about, ironically
What I love about The Fountain is the complement of the two characters Izzy and Tommy. Despite her illness and deterioration, Izzy is still enthusiastic. She's still discovering, learning, and creating even as she dies. Tommy is discovering, learning and creating but he is in despair. While Izzy is dying she is living. While Tommy is not dying he is so preoccupied with death he forgets to live. Tommy forgets what matters most - his love; he loses his ring to the Mayans and the wash sink. Tommy abandons his love to search for immortality, hoping to find eternal life together in love while choosing to be alone and apart.
I think it's the best film ever.
No it’s not
You are correct
@@KonMann that's a 9-year-old comment, man. I miss my old self.
WHEN YOU CONNECT THE OLD MAN IN TH BED, MY HEAD BLEW UP
I liked that interpretation the most.
Carmichael it's not true. Tommy did it all. It's no book ether.
Whats the connection?
i think the old man serves to remind Tommy of his neglectfulness towards Izzy, i.e. not being with her.
The missing ring on his finger symbolizes the lacking presence of Izzie. Tommy is shown to be frightened at the prospect of losing Izzie.
I watched this movie more than 10x already and yet I can still be surprised. It`s the first and only movie that had a seriously strong input in my life. I still watch it when I get really low, just to understand again how my problems mean nothing if I look at things as a whole not in detail. It`s everything I ever believed in :) Thank you for sharing with us
thanks I'm glad you were able to take some meaning from this video. i had a similar experience when first watching this film and it really affected me and moved me. I wanted to learn more about what i'd felt and how it happened, so this video is really the creation of all that questioning and thinking. great film!
Darren Aronofsky has the ability to make us feel true feelings
He is a really great director
From a Buddhist point of view you could say the bubble is a visualization of the mental meditative state of a Buddhist monk.
The longer he meditates the closer he gets to enlightenment. According to Buddhist teachings time and space become one when you get closer to enlightenment seeing all at once.
In the movie we only see 3 stories but every ring tattooed on his arm could signify yet another reincarnation. Just like the rings of a tree they symbolize lifetime cycles of that soul.
So the movie tells the story of the 3 important reincarnations: The first incarnation, the one where he starts his search for eternal life and the last one where we only see the mental journey as a meditating monk reaching enlightenment.
Other people will probably see yet another story. This movie is awesome :)
Yeah i like that idea, that he cycles his life 3 times in the 3 stories we see but at the end he reaches enlightenment. Great Masters have described the closeness to enlightenment as preparing to life without a body, thats why they can mediate for days without food as they are ready to move on, i like this idea because its the final stage Tommy reaches but it takes him lifetimes to get there.
Very good.
The entire story is based in Kabbalah. The one mind used the tree of life to become the many in spacetime duality. This was to escape the loneliness of a timeless all know existence. Adam and Eve symbolize the division of self and the union of duality. To search for our other half is an endless story of love and loss, thus is the human experience. Stop fearing the future and holding onto the past its the here and now that matters. When you realize that you can just enjoy the journey.
Its rather silly how people label things they don't understand as something left to personal interpretation. I see this when it comes to Tools music as well. In plain sight this story is told in many films and sung in many songs. Once you've studied the Mystery schools its undeniable. Phil Collins "in the air tonight" is the same story in a song. Trinity and Neo embody this endless loop of time where the two are forever united and torn apart by entropy which plagues the illusionary experience of spacetime duality. The point of the story is that all humans must come to understand they are alone in the end because there is really only one of us experience this story (enhance the meaning of Trinity's name). In the end the Atman must become ok with his nature in order to be free of his fear of it.
Ātman (/ˈɑːtmən/; Sanskrit: आत्मन्, IAST: Ātman) is a Sanskrit word that means 'inner-self' or 'soul'. In Hindu philosophy, especially in the Vedanta school of Hinduism, Ātman is the first principle,[1] the true self of an individual beyond identification with phenomena, the essence of an individual. In order to attain liberation, a human being must acquire self-knowledge (atma jnana), which is to realize that one's true self (Ātman) is identical with the transcendent self Brahman:
If atman is brahman in a pot (the body), then one need merely break the pot to fully realize the primordial unity of the individual soul with the plentitude of Being that was the Absolute.[2]
There is a great deal of understanding really needed to appreciate this film. what you've said reminds me of the idea of being alone in your self but at the same time being connected to the deeper life-force in us all called Self.Notice the capital 'S' and so our life is full of up and down emotionalise but once you realise that if you can quiet the mind and connect with that inner self then you are ultimately connection to the universe and the great spirits. This is why people believe in soul mates because they find someone who helps them see that deeper connection, but really i believe that you could be a sou mate with anyone as we are all made from the same source but sometime its just harder to see.
foleyd87 What you describe in the former is a fundamental in the mystery schools. You see Osiris/singularity was chopped into 12 pieces (individuality) by Set/void (darkmatter is the structural transport and housing of energy, forming energetic matter.) Osiris's parts were set in a box (spacetime cube) and placed in the tree (Tree of
Life) center of the two pillars of polarity. These 2 of 3 pillars that create current in a vacuum are adam and eve (duality) of the Kabbalah the tree at center is the 3 pillar which the SINe wave serpent of time travels up. The snake in the Garden offers man the ability to reawaken through the eating of the fruit of the tree of Knowledge "if you eat of it you too can be like God". Both trees are the same tree in Kabbalah ,depending on the direction of current consciousness travels (up, down) will indicate what tree your speaking of. God falling into micro cosmos is the" tree of life " and the ''tree of knowledge" is the fragmented God evolve into apotheosis ,man becomes god.
Now the initiate must pass into self actualization by a rights of passage.
Saturn space time cube is a birthing ground for consciousness Your false ego is a test to see if you can open your eyes. Your shadow self is a test to see if you can rise above yourself and become something greater than an object occupying space. Once you've developed the tools of special, independent thinking you are able to see life's truths. This causes an increase of synchronicity that relate to the mystery school teachings. The hardest discipline to develop is Christ mind consciousness. This requires one to unfold the 6 sided cube of material thinking and hang ones fleshly desires on the cross which once bonded you as a cube/box. Almost all religions are a watered down manipulation of Egypts mystery schools and most of the Mediterranean secret cults..
that second paragraph really spoke to me, i feel like I'm in the process myself as 'the seeker' of truth, thats one of my archetypes and I'm always trying to get past my ego and reach a place of truth and honesty which i feel is in harmony will my body rather than my mind and therefore the great spirits or universe.
It seems to me if you track all religions back they all originate out of Zarathustra. really interesting.
This is the best film analysis video out there, anywhere, ever. Seriously. Watch it. Watch it again. Watch the movie it pertains to. Weep like a baby and set yourselves free. Remember: the road to awe hurts like hell and there are no short cuts, but love lies waiting.
+Stephen Walker Thanks, glad you enjoyed this video on such an amazing film. Its an old video of mine now, so the audio isn't great but i hope the point still comes across.
+Darren - MUST SEE FILMS You're welcome. The sound is fine with loud headphones or good speakers, by the way, don't worry. And I rather enjoy your voice, as it goes: calm, serious, measured, intense. Don't change a thing. Perhaps you could do an expanded version of this video someday? Improve the sound and incorporate any new ideas, insights, feedback comments, etc. you feel the need to. Cheers, good luck and keep up the good work.
Excellent! I also feel Izzy gifted Tommy a pen and ink so he could also write his own destiny as she did. Also, her Character dressed in white as it reflected her enlightenment when she was free of fear. Her inability to feel hot or cold seemed that it was the end of her duality. I really love all the sacred geometry, use of color, sound, and emotions and it is beautiful.This film was ahead of its time. Most people do not care to go so deep. Keep up the great work!!! Erika
Thanks! i love the idea you mentioned about Izzi giving Tommy the ink, almost empowering him to write the rest. love it!
Good observation.
I recalled Robin Williams " What Dreams May Come " has the same deep hidden message with their use of color, theme, background, lighting etc. perhaps you might not wanna miss that one :)
Yeah iv seen it, its amazing and could believe that film was out there and i hadn't seen it til a few years back, i watched it around the same time as The Fountain, i was in that kind of head space at the time.
yes I agree that this film was and is way ahead of it's time.
Ben Sadikin I love that you recommended ''what dreams may come'' I had never seen it! thank you so much! It is amazing.
Masterpiece. I watch it like savoring a loved poem, year after year...
I know, I'm sure I'm due for a re-watch soon!
This is probably the most thorough and detailed analysis of the film I have encountered. Respect not just for making the effort to understand the movie (which most people don't do based on the "critics" reviews) but for sharing your insights as well! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks always great to have someone else who is interested in the meaning of great films join the community. The Fountain had such a profound affect on me that i had to understand it better and just tried to share why i loved this films so much as i feel some people miss the power of this films. but then again i do think it takes a certain type of person to really be ready to appreciate it and be at the right time in their lives.
Cannot agree more with you. The first time I watched the film was back when it came out and I was just 15. I enjoyed it, but I appreciated it just for the brilliant acting, music and direction. I couldn't really grasp on all the symbolism and themes behind it. I am glad that I accidentally stumbled upon it now, 7 years later, and gave it another shot. It was fully worth it.
yeah its really amazing how this film affects you the more you watch it and how you notice different elements on each new viewing.
Not only was the movie phenomenal but the interpretation was so thorough and insightful, I'm so glad I came across it
The Fountain is one of the greatest movies ever made and it's sad that so many people can't or don't want to see it. I first saw this movie on HBO four years ago. I was 15 and at a point in my life where I felt like I was running out of time and needed to accomplish everything I dreamed of accomplishing as fast as possible. This film really captures the dark places our minds can go and the importance of focusing not so much on death but on these precious moments we have that we take for granted. A really profound and moving film. I never understood it fully before watching this video. I always picked up on the themes and felt satisfied with the wonder it gave me. I never felt like it needed explaining because, frankly, I hate it when films have to highlight everything for you. But it's nice to have the film analyzed to better understand such a masterful work. Great video.
thanks I'm glad you've been able to take something away from this video, The Fountain is an amazing film and i had a similar experience with it myself, and i wanted to share why i loved this film so much as i was surprised so many people don't like it, but i really think it means people just aren't ready to watch it, mentally or emotionally because it requires the right level of thinking to really enjoy.
foleyd87 Agreed :)
just watched the movie then this,deep deep stuff,had me in tears...a few years late but hey..been busy being shallow and not perfect ..i feel i have missed so much in my dark times..amazing movie..provoked a lot of thinking in me
Thank you so much for this. When I first saw the film in the theater I wasn't impressed but mostly because I was left confused. Now after seeing it several times on cable and DVD I have such a deep appreciation for this film and your explanation makes me want to see it a few dozen more times.
Thanks I'm glad you were able to take some meaning from the video. I agree i was a little confused on my first viewing but i never i had experienced something special and moving and wanted to share my thoughts on this film after some thought and research.
Thank you for this brilliant analysis. This movie is also about the Goddess, the great female principle, illustrated by Izzy's ability to save and empower. Conversely, it is about the fear engendered by having a true relationship with another person, where vulnerability creates a confrontation: is one willing to give up egocentrism in order to make a true communion? Again, thanks.
wow those are some great points, you have to have a level of maturity to really appreciate this film i think. not in a sob by way, but in a life experience kind of way. i really like the idea of woman empowering this since the give birth and find it easier to live on and how men struggle with immortality more, maybe its because I'm a man and I'm bias. also the idea of being able to truly love someone means taking down all barriers of emotional protection and being completely vulnerable is so true! great points!
MUST SEE FILMS The movie is BRILLIANT ! Thank you for the review!
Your way of thinking is impressive! Good job! I read an old interview of Mr Aronofsky about the Fountain and he stated that Tom is the last man alive in the future story. The title of the movie was originally called "The Last Man". Anyway, I believe that some things in the movie are completely up to the viewer. It's like a poem. Everyone can understand and see the allegories, but get a different meaning and feeling. For me, this is one of the most underrated films ever.
oh my right ear
Hey man, your analysis touched me more than the film itself - specially your third possible outcome, where it's about his life and he sees himself in his deathbed. That was real insightful!
Thanks man, its always awesome when i find other people who have been touched by this film, i loved it and it really affected me!
Same here :D
The music is gorgeous too and I love the black and gold theme everywhere.
Thats awesome, its great to hear other people have such a strong connection to this film, i know it had a lot of meaning for me and i made this to share more about the film because i think alot of people missed how great it is. Your totally right this movie is a journey, i don't think everyone is emotionally ready for a journey like this that sinks into ones personal reflection and stirs up all sorts of feelings. I loved it, thanks for sharing!
Ladies and gents! We are totally forgetting the quote from one of our holy sources at the beginning of the movie. It is the key to it! The movie's plot is about the struggle of man dealing with mortal life since "eating" from the tree of life would have made him live forever and that was a major "no! no!" after becoming sentient and understanding right from wrong, if you remember well. The movie's main characters represent the Yin and Yang or the anima and animus of human nature. The affinity for each other is the drive in the struggle. "For my queen, for my wife, for my beloved. I'll search, I'll find and I'll conquer even death so that love is not taken away from me." (Get it?) In the end we come to understand that it is not a "tree of life" but rather a "circle of life." The movie presents this as a composite visual metaphor of three interconnected time lines. I think it is a breathtaking piece of work combining facts and cinematographic techniques with the talent and beauty of the actors. OK, that's my piece.
Arturo Castillo Bravo!!!
There is no ying/yang nonsense in the Bible.

It is so because you choose to listen to the divine words from only one source. You listen to the "divine sound" with only one audio channel, one speaker, this is called monotone sound. Divine music must be heard in "surround sound" or multiple channels, several speakers. The divine words, the awe.
God is not human, so is not bound to space and time like you or me. So are her divine writings.
They were written at different times and different places. They exist in your time and they are available to you now.
In this week of Roger Ebert's passing I remember how much I owe him for his review of The Fountain sparking my interest. I don't enjoy picking favorites or choosing top ten lists, but this is certainly one film I will keep in my heart forever. Thank you for your thoughts on the film.
This is the amazing analysis of this film. It is my absolute favourite movie. Everything is perfect about it. I would bring up one more analysis. I liked to interpret this as if the conquistador represents the human body, in it's constant desire for youth, pleasure, violence, but also strong and able to heal itself. Tommy, the scientist represents the mind, that always rationalizing, solving puzzles and problems, and always disciplined. The future Tommy is the soul, that is immortal and pure.
When your video essay is due the next day but you don’t want to wake your mates.
Awesome video btw!!!
lol thanks glad you enjoyed it, this is a really old video of mine and I still has a lot to lear about the audio recoding side of things, hopefully a lot better now.
I also find myself moved by this film every time i watch it. It really hits you in a personal kind of way because it makes you think and question a lot of things or so it does for me. I always recommend this film to people i know and it may be one of Aranosky's lesser known films but its still one of my favorites.
Thanks so much, this film is a total hidden gem, hope more people find some meaning in it!
Thanks, glad you liked it, the soundtrack is amazing, every-time i hear the music it always takes me right back to the film.
This was amazing. This is my favorite film and I've seen and read a lot of about. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. I think this film is a work of art. Simple as that. I agree with you when you said that this movie is more like a Journey to find what love means and how love builds the world.
Thanks Juan I'm really happy that my analysis has found its way to people who really understand and appreciate it, this film isn't for everyone but i had such an amazing experience with it i wanted t share how i felt about this incredible film.
I even cried watching this analysis. Beauty where I have no words for.
2024! My life changed when i discovered this film 2 years ago because of the themes explored with death, the denial of mortality, life, living, existence, hope, despair, etc.
I dont think there will be any film explores this kind of concept rather than the Fountain itself.
Fantastic analysis of one of, if not the most profound movie ever made! I couldnt agree more with your final conclusion and was intrigued by the alternative interpretations I didnt think of myself. Every time I watch it I get more out of it and see it in a different way then before. Great job!
Thanks Andre, I made this video because i loved the film and the affect it had on me, sounds like its reaching people who have had similar experiences and appreciate the film, like yourself. glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for protecting this film. Too beautiful and powerful to ignore. Thank you.
Awesome thank you, I have seen this movie many times but this has opened so many other meanings. Gotta watch it again now
I like how clear is the connection between what you see in the movie and what it symbolizes in the storyline.
Wow!! thats awesome! im soo happy to have made this analysis and have people like it but then also discover how much this film has touched people and how many other interpretations there still are about the film beyond what i had thought. Thats my favourite example so far, thanks for sharing!!
Love the narration/commentary on this video. Perfect for the subject in hand..
couldn't agree more... this is beautiful movie, that takes concentration, an open mind, and a willingness to just obsorb what's being presented. There are no easy nuggets, but plenty of gold to be mined here....
I agree, the music and visuals coupled with a film that asks big question of the viewer is so powerful. i love returning to the soundtrack.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I really love this film just now, so was very excited about this one.
Thanks glad you liked it, its really just this movie that has soo much to offer, glad you were able to see the value in it.
Love this analysis. ... This movie is so rich! I loved it and could watch every night and come away with a different impression each time.... it touched me.
Great analysis! This is my favorite movie, I love it because every time you watch it your view point on the subject matter changes as you learn more and more about the story line. Thanks!
A masterful analysis! This is one of my favorite films and it is a treat to discuss the film with other like minded individuals.
your welcome, its awesome to see people giving this so much thought, because i know how it affected me and the amount of time i spent with it, its nice to be able to share that. thanks!
Yeah i can see why, its pretty hard to grasp on 1st viewing, but i was so touched by it and knew the complexities would be there for a reason. Glad you enjoyed it.
I loved your video! One of my favorite movies and I loved your last sentences here :) thank you for uploading
I wish the audio were louder and clearer, I have to put the volume all the way up in order to try to make sense of the monotone. What I could grasp of the commentary, seemed like a good analysis though.
sorry, this video was made a good wee while ago and my knowledge of recording wasn't that great, there is a full transcription added to the video if you want to understand it all.
Thanks for the review. That movie changed me. Made me appreciate life more. Thanks again.
This is amazing analysis on the film. I there are so many things that I feel like I missed. I need to watch this film again !! Thank You !!
thanks glad you enjoyed it, yeah there is a to going on in this films, definitely needs another watch!!
My interpretation is: The story of Tommy trying to save Izzi is reality, the story of the conqueror and the trip to Xibalba is Izzi's story, of how she sees Tommy focused on a fight where he will only find death. Both stories reflect the reality that Tommy refuses to accept, Izzi is going to die and there is nothing he can do to prevent it, it is the course of life and that is why she wants to spend most of her time with him.
When Izzi dies, Tommy takes the book and still doesn't accept reality, he still denies that Izzi is gone and that nothing he does is going to change it. It is almost at the end when he realizes this and decides to rewrite history, accepting that sooner or later he is also going to die and it will be inevitable. The scene where he returns to the beginning is the memory of Tommy accepting what he should have done at the beginning, spending the remaining time with her.
It's a wonderful and amazing film. I love it so much. I lost someone I love so this film touches my soul so deeply and so painful that causes a torrent of tears to come out every time I watch it. I think that's the reason why I understand the movie that way, because like Tommy, I'm also in the denial stage, I still don't accept that she's gone.
Yeah totally agree a very spiritual and awakening experience, This video is probably my favourite to discuss with fans of the film because everyone who has seen it and cares about it are the people who find this video so Im always talking to true fans. always great to be able to share this film more. Aronofsky is a genius, well put!
I will never understand how one can dislike this film, pure madness.
This movie is one of my all-time favorites. I kick myself everyday for not viewing this in theatre. Because it is one of the most beautifully filmed movies ever. The images are so striking and dramatic. I believe the movie to be a combination of theories 2 and 6.
Darren! You are such a wonderful mind and you had me glued in from the beginning with your analysis. You have eloquently extracted so many things from my own mind and presented your own in such a clever articulate manner. Great Job! Never give up doing you and what you do- you rock dude. Thanks for the daily enlightenment
Thanks im glad you liked it and im always glad to reach true fans of the film.
The dilemma and grief was captured so well, he wanted desperately to find the cure but he was wrestling with trying to find balance in his relationship while dealing with the fear of losing his wife. His love for her ultimately pushed him to finally accomplish his goal and fulfill his destiny. The intimacy of their relationship is what is appealing along with the restoration of what was lost. Their love supersedes time
Thanks man, the thing about this film is that it spoke to so many people and everyone has some kind of connection to it, ill agree some are more logical than others but i love the fact this film can spark different views from people.
Im glad you were able to take some meaning from it. Im also glad to reach a fan of the film. I knew myself how powerful it was and was sure there would be others who appreciated this masterpiece.
This film is probably my favorite of all time. It reaches me in some way and it leaves me in pieces. Every detail is fascinating perfection, the imagery, the parallels, the clues. I stand in awe of the mind who conceived this story and the one who translated it into this visual masterpiece. And you, my friend, did a superb analysis and offered clarification, not an easy feat. Thank you for this wonderful commentary.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I am grateful you created and shared it.
thanks I'm glad you were able to find some meaning in it. thanks for the feedback.
Very nice video. Love the film and you mentioned a few ideas I hadn't thought about before. Thanks.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it and where able to take some new meaning from it too.
This analysis is wonderful thank you! I honestly love this film, visually its incredible and the story is just wonderful sad yet hopeful and a beautiful love story thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed the video, nice to hear your example on brain theory there, well said. This film really has so much going on and its nice to see other people noticing and appreciating. Thanks
This movie is very important to me. I am glad to find that is it appreciated by others. You did an amazing job in the different interpretations of the film.
Thanks, I'm glad this analysis is finding people who appreciate it as much as myself, i really loved this movie and the experience of questioning which it triggered for me.
Excellently made analysis, using the style and format of the film itself. Like the way you offer a series of different takes on the film, which is, of course, part of its beauty and strength. Perhaps a whole series of different emotions at different times. Eternal.
This was a lovely interpretation. I liked the quote you put at the end from Gita. It sums up what Aranofsky wants to portray in his movie.
Thanks glad you noticed and appreciated it, noone else has really mentioned that before. i thought it was appropriate. it is a wonderful film.
foleyd87 great movie really opened my eyes, you also mentioned a lot of stuff that i hadnt even thought about. keep up the good work
Thanks glad you liked it, i am also a huge fan of this film, and wanted to share why i felt it to be so moving and powerful. It's nice to hear it affecting others because it really asks the audience to be brave and ask big questions of themselves and there own perspective on life.
thanks!!! even i thought that he is reliving those emotions..... god this movie is open to so many perspectives , one of the best i have seen for a long time again thanks for your opinion
yeh i totally agree, very emotional and profound, totally underrated.
This is the best analysis to me that you have created so far. Through depth of analysis and quality of production. well done, gentle giant.
thanks, i would have to agree with you, iv enjoyed working on other films but The Fountain analysis is always been my favourite, its the one that had no views for ages because no-one cared about it and now its one of my most popular. its also the one i spend most time creating and figuring things out myself as apposed to doing research. But I'm working on another analysis right not that could match it in terms of depth.
Watched this movie about 6 times and still love it. I still see new things i watch it. The best film ever made in my opinion and it inspired me to get a tattoo of this film.
Thx for sharing
Thanks Nathan, its always awesome to hear from people who have been touched by this film, its so moving and powerful that you never come across casual fans, its always people who have been moved by it, like i was!
A brilliant, well spoken and well rounded review. You approach from many perspectives and explain what I wasn't able to articulate. This, like your poetic conclusion, I think, is also a better reflection of the analyst analyzing than the analysis itself. Bravo.
Thanks I'm glad you were able to take some meaning from it. The ending is very important because the big issue with this film is the audience member. This film really flopped when it came out but probably because the mainstream wasn't really and willing to be uncomfortable and ask big questions of themselves. The film has however found some loyal fans who love it because of the experience they engaged in through the film.
thanks glad you liked it, yeah the film is so open that it was really interesting to explore the different possibilities.
It's an incredible peacefulness, a warm, calm feeling of freedom when you become enlightened and not only accept death but internalize it as a part of yourself. As a part of the universe, tiny fluctuations of energy changing from one form into another. Nothing is ever lost in the process, just transformed, consciousness, therefore pain is eliminated (finally) and replaced by nothingness which is a very good thing. And I'm looking forward to nothingness immensely.
very poetically put, apt of people enjoy this movie for what it is, but you seem to identify with some of the spiritual ideas that go along with it, well done, nice to hear from people who are closer to enlightenment of themselves. a journey i am still in the process of.
Thanks im glad you liked it, its such a good film, just wanted to share why i love this film, i think the same i wish other people would appreciate this film.
I thought of a line early in the movie. The grandfather died. A tree grew over his grave. A bird ate the berries then he became a part of the bird. Collapsing stars are the the source of every element in the universe. It is said we were all born in the hearts of dying stars. How I Interpreted the final scene was that when the star explored, he and Izzy would be joined and spread through out the universe to live a million lives together in a million different ways. It is said that we are the universe perceiving and experiencing itself.
Great and thorough analysis of an under appreciated film. Thank you!
Great video, I always thought he finished the book. Beautiful movie with a beautiful message and soundtrack. Good work.
Very insightful. It is nice to know others show the same respect and reverence for this movie that I do. This is definitely a movie that requires multiple watches. Every time I watch, I come away with something different. And I have to say...your voice is very relaxing, but can still keep people engaged with what you are saying. You've got some really interesting interpretations.
Thanks I'm glad you were about to understand and take some meaning from my video. Im also glad this video is reaching true fans of this film, as i know its not for everyone and it really touched me as a spiritual experience.
Thanks from the kind feedback, this video reaches quite a few people but im glad its reaching people who can find meaning in it and enjoy it. thanks!
SUPERB AWESOME FILM! Thank you for the analogy!
Outstanding tribute to a marvelous piece of movie! Can I 'like' this a million times?
Very good job listing the possible interpretations. In my first viewing, I basically ended up with the first one. I should watch the movie again.
Yeah im glad you stumbled across it, its a total hidden gem!!
yeah i think everything in the video comes down to what you said and that was my own personal experience when watching the film and why it helped me confront my own perspective on death.
This is brilliant! Thanks so much brother.
Thank you very much for this interpretation, I got to the end of the movie with all sorts of ideas and thought flying around my head, this video has helped me solidify those thoughts and ideas, I really appreciate this video. Thank you
Thanks, I'm glad this video could help, i felt like you after my first viewing and love it but wasn't really sure what to make of the film, thats why i made this video, in an effort to understand it myself and always happy to share!
wow i really like those connections with the imagery, very appropriate and cool! thanks!
Amazing job, couldn't have said it better myself.
I thought I had a grasp on this story until I watched this and now only that I see all the other possible interpretations of it it kinda blew my mind and added elements to it that I hadn't considered previously. This is the way this story must be though, the open interpretation is a vital part of it's construct and more so it's brilliance. This could very well be one of the greatest stories ever told but the story varies from person to person so who would ever know.
What an incredibly revealing interpretation.......I have seen this movie several times, catching it on cable.....only once from the very beginning. I never considered the symbolism between Izzy's skin, the detail of the queen's dress and the tree. Tragically sad, yet beautiful movie. Thank you for this analysis. Love the accent.....Scottish?
i like that interpretation, i like the idea of his mind figuring out how to deal with his emotions and bring him to a point of peace. I think alot of people stumble across this film, its a hidden gem im glad more people are beginning to discover.
your welcome, glad people can see the beauty in this film!
I found this movie by accident on netflix.
The ratings were high, so I gave it a chance....
I absolutely LOVED the movie and the soundtrack.
Thank you for the analysis.
It's probably the best presentation I've ever seen.
Well done.
I love this film. This is the best and most variable interpretation. Good video. :) It's one of my favorites, really. Breaks my heart.
Yeah it definitely is, this movie is a step towards enlightenment. Im glad more people are seeing and loving this movie.
I agree this film is amazing and i love the effects, especially the static electricity to move the hairs of the tree.
Thank you for this. great analysis.
I love this movie(one of my favorites), I liked very much of your analysis, I wish that moore people saw the movie that way. Really a very good analysis!
