Title: The Fountain
Post by: migaguiar on May 13, 2008, 11:47:55 AM
Here I am typing with 1 hand again.  :urcrazy;

I read so many good comments from my previous post .......A few things i lost.......that this next post is inspired by it.

"A few things i lost", got me to thinking that life experiences is what really makes us who we are. We learn from them.
We grow from them. When we make judgements we base our choices on our experiences.

The essential and intrinsic melts away the unnecessary and the trivial. Its a gradual consciousness that develops.
This might sound corny but it almost seems like its a tragic love story with your inner self. Through unfortunate circumstances and much
hardship there is peace and understanding.

I was wondering if any of you have seen the movie "The Fountain"..?
Its my fav movie and explains the hardships of his particular journey in life.
Its amazing and I know must of you have the introspection to understand its significance.
Please let me know what you think.

I just checked IMDB.com to see what the movie was about, and it does sound good!  Obviously I have not seen it,
but I do want to respond to your statements/comments.   I like your statement about the tragic love story with our
inner self. We have a lot of time to think, to be introspective which changes us. As mentioned before, it has changed me,
for the better, I think.

Yes, I saw "The Fountain."
A very introspective and symbolic movie.
The man in the movie was like my husband when I was first diagnosed with Goodpastures Disease which led to my ESRD: Trying to find any means to help his wife survive;
In complete denial and not willing to accept it. Luckily for me, I survived. The movie delves into both Mayan and Budhist mythology. I would half to say the movie isn't for everyone. Very appropriate for people who actually have life threatening diseases, though. Really hits home.
