The Road to Awe
Perhaps I wasn”™t clear.
Of all the movies I”™ve seen this year, there are only a few that were good: The Queen and The Fountain come first, and Little Children was fairly good, too.
The Fountain is my favorite of those listed, of the year. I”™ve just seen it a second time. Something I forgot to remark on before was the score. I remember loving the music at the premiere and now I”™m loving it even more. I love the entire film more now that I”™ve had a second go.
See this movie. See it after nightfall in a good theater. See it when you may reflect.
Sit with your eyes closed through the credits, and listen.
See this movie.
Don”™t make comments, or excuses: This audience is smart and largely art loving, story loving and a Sci-Fi audience.
See this movie.
Aside from a third viewing of The Fountain, Children of Men is the only film I”™m currently looking forward to seeing. I haven”™t seen such a timely Sci-Fi film premise since The Matrix one. (Although, arguably, the premise for Revenge of the Sith was metaphorically timely, it is because the movie sucked flat that I overlook it, as it should be.)
Sci-Fi: Getting stronger?
The Fountain, at least, is waiting for you. If you don”™t see it, then I don”™t know what we”™ll have to talk about.
Maybe, then, we don't have anything in common anymore.
