The evidence that suggests he is the same man far outweighs the evidence that it's part of the story.<br /><br />At the end of the movie, you can very clearly see him planting something in her grave; planting the seed that becomes the tree, thus extending her life.<br /><br />The future Tom is the same man, because he has the memories of her (the ring/tattoo of the ring, her skin/the bark of the tree, and the very fact that her memory haunts him). He found everlasting life from that tree in SA, and it's taken him this long to find a way to be reunited with his love. This occurs when he flies with the tree into Xhibalba.<br /><br />The entire time (future) he is trying to keep the tree alive (same as in the "present") until they reach Xhibalba and can be reborn.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383126059841362257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-23769947999734617282010-01-13T12:12:02.435-05:002010-01-13T12:12:02.435-05:00I have seen this movie and sorry to tell you, i wa...I have seen this movie and sorry to tell you, i wasn't really impressed with this movie.lavender productshttp://www.lavendernthings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-32512709029114845532009-11-04T00:56:33.048-05:002009-11-04T00:56:33.048-05:00Too many people analyse this movie as if it were a...Too many people analyse this movie as if it were a puzzle to solve - which story is real, what really happened etc. The fact is none of it happened.

I remember thinking about thirty minutes into it, "I didn't think they made movies like this anymore". By that I meant movies that try to tell a more real story than can truly be expressed in words or images. While I don't think the film was always as graceful as the subject matter would have liked, I think it was a real representation of how rarely humans achieve that grace. I was deeply touched by the film in the end and am glad that there are still cinematic explores being given any kind of budget from the big studios.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-37442749014417918942008-03-12T22:00:00.000-04:002008-03-12T22:00:00.000-04:00For me, the Fountain is a truly spiritual explorat...For me, the Fountain is a truly spiritual exploration of death as a path to awe. For me, this means that Tomas continued on his spiritual path as Tommy. Tommy continued in another incarnation as Tom Creo soaring to Xibalba. The beauty of the movie is the exploration of Tomas' ability to learn from one incarnation to the next and to gain a better understanding of love. As Tomas, he seeks immortality only for his own ego, pride and love of nation. In the next incarnation as Tommy, he seeks immortality for his ego-centric love of Izzi (centered more on his need for Izzi than on his love of Izzi). In the final incarnation, Tom accepts death as a path to another, higher incarnation which we briefly glimpse as the Tree of Life blossoms before exploding into Xibalba. It's a beautiful story of growth, love, and spirit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-6549636182051952632007-12-02T13:29:00.000-05:002007-12-02T13:29:00.000-05:00Thanks for that.-MMThanks for that.<BR/><BR/>-MMMystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486331815227364944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-6487408533841390692007-12-02T08:05:00.000-05:002007-12-02T08:05:00.000-05:00I wrote an analysis of the film here:http://www.ge...I wrote an analysis of the film here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.geocities.com/fadybahig/fountain.html<BR/><BR/>I am a very spiritual person so I hope you'd find the article rich in contentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-17523638942845738422007-11-05T22:32:00.000-05:002007-11-05T22:32:00.000-05:00That's a great point.

I'm so glad it got made.<BR/><BR/>We're studying the structure and elements of those stories most accessible to the widest audience that still retain imagination, great characters, and fresh twists.<BR/><BR/>The Fountain has no intrinsic value in that sense, nor does it have wide audience appeal.
