THE EXPLORER

"Adventures on The Rhine"

Part 1

Yesterday night i spent some hours reading about the movie called The Fountain. If you havent seen it you have to. It's amazing, different, both visually and storywise.

The Fountain is a 2006 American science fiction/fantasy film directed by Darren Aronofsky that follows three interwoven narratives that take place in the age of conquistadors, the modern-day period, and the spiritual world of the human soul. The film stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, whose characters' romance exists in all three time periods. The Fountain explores the themes of love and mortality, drawing influences from Mayan mythology. The film is framed with visual language by using transition scenes, light, and shapes. - Wikipedia

I love Darren Aronofskys movies, coz they make u think. If you havent seen his first two movies look up Pi and Requiem For a Dream. Pi is about this number theorist Maximillian Cohen who has a theory that everything in nature can be understood through number and if u graph the numbers in the right way patterns will emerge. .

And anyway, drifting away there for a sec. Ehm back to the Fountain, the movie for me is about the search for love and the search for "god". So i was reading about that and every theory behind it and the making of the movie. And from that it just kept on going, coz i kept finding these things that sounds interesting; Tree of Life, Padmasana, Kabbalah, Ex Nihilo, Biossphere 2, Tree of knowledge...

And on and on. Thats the best thing about reading stuff on Wiki is that u keep finding other things and you learn more and more. One of the biggest reasons i can sit with it for so long is that its also very inspiring. So you get both the knowledge and u get inspired, a win-win situation haha. I love to learn stuff like that.

The only sad part is that i sometimes find it really hard to discuss all those unusual stuff with people. but the most important thing is that i know what it means to me i guess, but sometimes u just wanna get it out there coz "stuff" gets heavy to you in the end.
