The Fountain (2006)
What if you could live forever? The Fountain is an odyssey about one man's eternal struggle to save the woman he loves. His epic journey begins in 16th-century Spain, where conquistador Tomas (Hugh Jackman) commences his search for the Fountain of Youth, the legendary entity believed to grant immortality. As modern-day scientist Tommy Creo, he desperately struggles to find a cure for the cancer that is killing his beloved wife, Isabel (Rachel Weisz). Traveling through deep space as a 26th-century astronaut, Tom begins to grasp the mysteries that have consumed him for a millennium. The three stories converge into one truth, as the Thomas of all periods -- warrior, scientist, and explorer -- comes to terms with life, love, death and rebirth. (read more)

I admire Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem For A Dream) more than almost any other filmmaker alive, and this film is a perfect example of why this is so. The Fountain is probably the most personal film of the year, and certainly the one that I personally felt the most; by the end, I was literally convulsing, with tears running...

This movie wasn't what I thought it would be, nor was it what I hoped it would be. It WAS better than watching the Giants lose though.
