"The Fountain" is directed by Darren Aronofsky. The movie released in 2006.It is his next movie after "Requiem for a Dream".
I can't say I like this movie. I may rate it 2 or 3 from 5. If I want to compare it with his previous work, I have to say I am disappointed. I expect a very better film.
The movie starts by mixing three different characters from different eras. At the end of movie, you can understand these characters belong to past, present and future. The base character is a man (the same man in tree eras) and the main stream is love. The man from the past loves a woman who is hard to achieve. The man from the present loves a woman who is achieved but there is a fear to loose. The man from the future loves a woman who is wishfully going to achieve if the mission accomplished successfully. At the end there is another mixing of the characters that let the viewer choose the ending.
Any way, when I look the movie up in IMDB, I noticed it is also categorized as science fiction. In Sci-Fi you are looking for a base resumption which the whole story is happening around it. I can't find such resumption but I find that the resumption is philosophical or mostly religious. The resumption is metempsychosis or transmigration of souls. This is the main idea of religions or ideologies like Buddhists, Yoga and Eckankar. You can find a single soul in those three men of times and is somehow depicted in the last scenes. So I may categorize this file as Reli-Fi(religious fiction) more than Sci-Fi.
