anyone see this beatiful movie of darren arranofsky???, if you dont know its a director of Reqiuem for a dream, another time he worked with clint mansell , and clint did a great job with music, i love this soundtrack, movie worth of watching but its not as darrens previous movies. its kind of different one.

Still good. any comments??

I`ve got the soundtrack, very cool music along the lines of `Requim` and has just won Clint his first award for the score. (one of many I`m predicting).

I haven`t watched the film as of yet though.

What, is it already officially released? I thought it was due to march 2007...

i saw that movie....and honestly i wanted my money back afterwards...this movie is just way to artzy dont really know how else to put it theres some beautiful photography and stuff but just didnt get it done for me.

i saw this movie...and i really loved it.. many people laugh about it.. but those, that understand it and just feel it.. they will love it... great movie!!

Here is something I wrote on a different forum a while back after I watched it-


My girlfriend and I both got back from the film and after discussing it for the past 15 minutes, I think we've uncovered some of the mystery....and it might be because deciphering the mysteries of this story takes both a female and male mind....

SPOILERS -

CONFUSION
--------------
We both left feeling a bit unfulfilled with the finality of the movie....like the director had it, but dropped the ball at the end. So we began discussing it, and my girlfriend became more and more convinced it DID deliver a satisfying ending.....after much discussion, the important factor was simply that, it was not meant to have an "ending".

EXPLANATION
-----------------
I was hung up on the fact that we never got to SEE Thomas deliver the sap of the tree to his queen....I wanted to know HOW she lived so long if he had not given it to her. After all we see him be consumed by the tree after drinking from it.

Kelly (my girlfriend) urged me to think beyond the linear and physical, and accept that these 2 people's fate were destined to be connected....through true love....I was about to write her off as merely appreciating it as a romance, when it became more and more clear.....she was recognizing the reocurrance of the visual 'CIRCLE' theme throughout the film, and correlating it to the idea that the story was built on a circular timeline.

Which was the ending, and which was the beginning of these 2 characters' journey? Well, remember the part in the museum where she explains about the 'father' the Mayans believed created the Earth by sacrificing himself and growing the tree through his stomach, and it's roots becoming the Earth?

Well, at the "end" of the film, Thomas breaks away from his 'atmosphere'
and travels towards Xibolba, and when it explodes we see the light travel through his stomach into the tree, thus fulfilling the cycle and binding them together forever....because if you remember, when the Mayan priest bows before Thomas, he sees him floating buddah style like he was in outer space.....he has traveled back in time to start it over.

The part inside the atmos-sphere is the past present & future all at the same time.....it is the past because it is a precursor to the beginning of the tree - it is the present because he is remembering everything prior, and it is the future because it takes place after their plight.

....when Thomas enters the garden of the Tree of life atop the pyramid, he begins a cycle of sorts....a CIRCLE of time that begins with his lust for eternal life, and a devotion to his counterpart: the queen....

A self fulfilling destiny.



We are sure there is more to be figured out, and there is much more symbology but this is the core of what we figured out tonight.

Just finished it. I see your point Dims. However, I think it can be viewed from several perspectives. One being that you either feel it or you dont. I felt it and liked it. It's not about the intense plot and twist or whatever.

I knew she will say he had to die because thats the only thing that made sense. But its not about that. Its not only about a journey either. Its hard to describe it because it cointains so much that its impossible to decipher every bit.

Still, Darren Aranofsky made another great movie and this perseverence part reminded me of his movie "Pi" where the guy goes insane while trying to decipher that code so he can understand everything.
