Cherish the fountain

The film starts from the chapters in the Bible. The tree of life in the Garden of Eden originated and died here.

BTW, the background music is very powerful. The soundtrack of this film is a highlight.



Si knelt in front of the cross and recalled the entrustment given by the queen and

said the sentence "lets finish it" before leaving. The same sentence appeared repeatedly in three time and space. "

finish it" is like a key and a door in the film. It depends on how you open it to the end, whether you can open it to

watch this kind of philosophical literature and art film. Translation is a big problem. People who do subtitles don’t understand the essence

. There are few things that are difficult to understand.



I originally intended to divide the three time-space divisions into three stories, but they are too closely connected.

Although they are separated by thousands of years, they

are happening at the same time and affect at the same time. The story of three time-spaces overlapping in a parallel universe for the cut-off timeline?

After reading the secret, I realized that I was thinking crooked. According to my idea, although it can be explained perfectly, it has really become a science fiction religious

film. All the stream of consciousness things in the film can be misinterpreted as religion. Simple things will be It's complicated, but it's not that complicated.

It turns out that 500 years ago and 500 years later, it was the current story. The void was derived from it.

Everything was a story written by Izzy based on Tommy. The name of the book is "the fountain"



500 Thomas the year before was not a believer in immortality at first. He was ready to die for Spain.

A priest brought a map to find the pyramids hidden in Mayan mythology.

It is said that there is a tree where all life begins. It is said

that whoever drinks the sap will have eternal life . Thomas did not believe these words at all in Spain. He thought they were all lies,

but the queen let them he believed it was not a lie to give him a ring and tell him to wait for him to find the tree put on

when she was his Eve they will be immortalized together

from that time, Thomas began to desire drink eager to find the tree tree Liquid longed for eternal life, longing for eternal life

with the queen, with the belief that he would never die, Thomas went to the territory of the fierce Mayans.



A thousand years later, Tom flew to Sibaobana with the dying tree of life. Piece Nebula

Sibauba will soon be annihilated and when he explodes the tree of life will be reborn

Tom has been relying on the tree of life

to keep himself alive The feelings between them are beyond everything in the world It's hard to tell that Tom is trying to keep himself alive Or just trying so hard to keep the tree of life alive. It's hard

to tell if the tree of life made Tom exist or Tom exists for the tree of life.



Izzy's book isn't finished. She wants Tommy to help her with the rest. Part of it is also hope that Tommy can understand the true meaning of it

Izzy knows that she is running out of time She also knows that Tommy can only get rid of the grief of losing her on her own

She instills Mayan culture in Tommy and tells him the meaning of life

She tells Tommy Maya's Ancestors First Fathers How First Humans Sacrifice Himself to Create the World

Tommy has a very arrogant personality as an excellent medical expert He has no interest in what Izzy is talking about

He spends all his precious time researching how to cure Izzy's terminal illness was reluctant to spend a little more time to accompany Izzy

. The pain of losing Izzy has been repressing Tommy in the dead of night. He will reveal himself to hide and cry secretly.

The tough-faced Tommy quickly hides

his emotions even if he loses his temper in front of people. He firmly believes that he can find a way to heal Izzy.



Soon Izzy died in his sleep

. Don't believe that Izzy is really going to die He thinks death is a disease and it can be cured

but Izzy is really dead and that can't be changed A

grief-stricken Tommy picks up what Izzy gave him before he died hoping he can finish her The pen in that book pierced the imprint of the

ring where the wedding ring was worn. The ring was lost during an operation and later became an important thing connecting the three

dimensions Izzy's heart-piercing feeling of hollowing out my heart. This scene broke my heart and cried.



Izzy died at the same time as the tree of life came to an end.

Tom and the tree of life were together. to stab a ring around under the arm

of Tom looking at the eyes on the ring finger tattoo arm slowly moves to another ring on a ring has two arms full of dense thorn mark

all these years all the memories you all about



Tommy eventually make up In the last part of the book,

in Izzy's finish it, Tom finally wakes up in despair and panic. Death is not the end, but the transformation. I would like to die.

Izzy shed a tear and smiled and said that we will

live forever together at the moment when Tom was annihilated. The tree is also reborn because of the new power brought by annihilation.

This is the perfect intersection with the previous Thomas. Izzy said before his death that this story will start in Spain and end in

Sibaoba Thomas is not afraid of death from the beginning to the end Longing for immortality to understand that death is actually a part of life. Death is also immortality in another sense.

There are frequent crossovers here because this part is a collection of Tommy's thoughts, which demonstrates the process of Tommy's understanding.

He finally understood that death is a path of awe, a continuation of life after transformation, not the opposition of life.

This path needs to be accommodated rather than resisted, and at the same time it cannot be changed.

Recalling that when Izzy was alive, he should always accompany Izzy. What could be more important than this?

This intersection is quite exciting, especially from Tom's annihilation to the rebirth of the tree of life. The soundtrack is also in place.

At the end, Tommy buried a seed beside Izzy's grave after realizing it all. The beginning of a new life can finally be Saying Bye to Izzy, I

always feel that this film is very fatalistic. No matter how hard you try, what is destined can't be changed. You

can only look at it from a different angle. Maybe there is hope. Waiting for you to



finish this film. I'm here. Thinking I don't know if life has other

forms of existence. If life exists in other forms, can life still think? If it can't think, what's the difference between a stone and a stone?

Maybe a stone can think too. If a stone can think, you'd like to be a stone. rock it

if it can get rid of all human desires I think I am very willing to be a stone or any form of willing

but unfortunately we are living in the universe can not escape the laws of the universe can not escape can not change

can do only It is what we should do. The question to think about now is very simple. What should we do?

Do things with this question in mind at any time in life. I think in the future, when facing death, we should be able to reduce some regrets.
