I thought "The Fountain" tried too hard to be high-minded intellectual art, and ended up being way too diffuse and unfocused. Yes, the story is open to interpretation, but the whole thing felt false to me. I had little emotional investment in the characters, and didn\'t much sympathize with them.
The biggest redeeming feature of the film is Rachel Weisz. I could watch her reading the Internal Revenue Code, and I would be content. Hugh Jackman should go back to "The X Men" and "Van Helsing." He doesn\'t deserve any roles that require acting.
If you want to see a better film, seek out "The Constant Gardener."
