I loved the movie. It's the best movie of 2006.
I think the futuristic Hugh Jackman was a metaphysical abstract of all that was happening in Tommy's life - as he was coming to term with Izzi's illness and eventually her death. The movie tries to say that through death you are reborn - and you can't fight death.
The 3 stories are not necessarily connected - the future and past are kind of undertones to the main story. The past is about Izzi's book, and how Tom finishes it. The future is Tom's imagination as he wrestles with life and death. And this is not necessarily the absolute meaning - it is open to interpretation.
Yes, it is a difficult movie and very different in concept to your Hollywood popcorn stuff. I liked what Rachel Weisz said in an interview - that it's like going to museum and seeing a painting. Just admiring it for what it does for you - without analyzing too much.
"The Fountain" is one of the weirdest movies I've seen and I absolutely loved it. It's like listening to Beethoven or Mozart - just absorbing the beauty of the art and let it appeal to your senses.
Unlike what many people are saying, I don't think this is comparable to 2001- a Space Odyssey. That one was very futuristic, but also very cold. The Fountain is warm and touching.
Kudos to the Jackman, Weisz & Aronofsky team, for delivering this piece of art.

There's a lot of symbolism in the film. You would be disappointed if you went to see the movie because you liked Hugh Jackman or Rachel Weisz, because it's a very philosophical movie about life and death, letting go and time.

The movie was about how one man goes to the ends of the earth and eternity to save his wife. Whenever hugh was the brain surgeon that was present day time. Whenever it was the conquistador or the bald guy that is a character of his wifes book.
The book was for so he could remember her because she knew she was dying. The tree that was with the bald guy symbolized his wife. She was in the tree, and when the conquistador found the tree of life, and when he drank the sap the tree would bring her back. But the sap turned him into a tree and thats how he would live forever, as the tree. But the tree with the bald guy died earlier because he couldn't find a cure in time. That why she died in present time . I know its confusing but hopefully you understand it a little better know.
