always feel the need to mention the graphic novel, which is stunning in its own right. now just need a vinyl release of the OST.

I think The Fountain is a much better movie than people give it credit for. After watching it and reading the graphic novel I think that The Fountain tells a great story in an novel way. It could have been better, but it was still pretty good.

So, I feel that some movies really benefit from detailed explanations. Primer being one of my favorites. When you start to look at the layers and causality in Primer, it becomes a better film.

For me, The Fountain is better experienced as is. I never ask "What is really going on?" during any particular scene, I just accept it all as part of the experience. And I very much enjoy the overall tale it weaves.

Same thing when you look through the book Aronofsky put together for The Fountain.

The only additional interpretation I would layer on to the Fountain is loosely based on Tibetan Buddhism, but articulated best for me by Laurie Anderson in her film Heart of a Dog, which is:

"Death is the release of love."

That was made into the visual novel.

He did make a graphic novel of it which will give you some insight. He did the same with Noah as well. Amazon link for you: https://www.amazon.com/Fountain-Darren-Aronofsky/dp/1401200583/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503922489&sr=8-1&keywords=the+fountain+graphic+novel

Yes, Aronofsky says the illustrated version is his original script and designs --before the budget got chopped:

But it seems he always imagined the Doctor's "fantasy Zen spacecraft" as a bubbleship: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/51/94/a1/5194a135e9f3fd70a3c21d0ecdba583e.jpg

It’s been awhile since I read it, but it’s definitely worth a look if you enjoyed the movie or anything Aronofsky.

I love reading all these interpretations. This is one of my favorite movies and I get choked up through almost the entire film. I can't think of another story where the bond between characters is so strong. His love for her is the driving force behind his immortality and breaking the cycle of death and rebirth. The only way he can accept death at the end is to let her go.

If you are a fan of the movie, there is also a graphic novel based on the script before the movie was made.
