Re: The Fountain
I just signed Aronofsky's guestbook and said there was a nice fan commentary and discussion here, and maybe he'd like to leave a comment here. Wouldn't that be something.

Re: The Fountain
I'm back from the fridge and that light bulb over my head is still glowing white. The movie plot simply isn't a love story, and me trying to push it into that box made it break. He never finds his lost ring, he leaves the tree/Izzi to launch into Xibalba and he doesn't return to Spain because it's not about him getting back with Izzi. It's about a guy's unhealthy obsession with death, and everything else (including his relationship(s) with Izzi) is consequences of that.
The film does have symmetry, I was just looking in the wrong place.
Thank you Down in Front! Well, mostly Dorkman. Pending a rewatching, I no longer bleh The Fountain.

Re: The Fountain
I felt regret, that's for sure. Regret that I watched the movie more than once.

Re: The Fountain
Yeah, that might have been one of the many instances where the music wasn't ready when the trailer went out.

Re: The Fountain
Seeing as Mansell's had his Requiem for a Theme jacked into more promos than any piece of recognizable score in recent years, guess it's appropriate to ask if anyone else hates that trend of using themes from other films in trailers?
That new everyone-conspires-against-Matt-Damon-movie trailer uses the theme from Sunshine. Arrrghh.
Re: The Fountain
I'm just glad the "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" score seems to have fallen out of style. Means I can get back to using it for parodies.

Re: The Fountain
The use of the REQUIEM theme in the TWO TOWERS trailer caused me to sex in my pants when the trailer was first released. I hadn't seen REQUIEM yet though, so I didn't know the tune.
I remember being appalled when the trailer for CASPER used "What's This?" from NIGHTMARE.

Re: The Fountain
I'm sure Scott…Steve…Frogurt, whatever his name is, could speak to why trailer editors have to use themes from earlier movies in trailers, and what forces end up making the same five themes be used over and over.
Get 'im in here!

Re: The Fountain
If I'm not mistaken, the FOUNTAIN theme was used in the trailer for I AM LEGEND.

Re: The Fountain
I heard a rumor the "Sunshine" piece that made it into "Kick-Ass" was a case of temp track love. Dunno whether that's true, though.

Re: The Fountain
Clint Mansell is touring LA in 2012 if you're interested in hearing his great scores live e.g. Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler, Moon, etc.
not long to go now...
