Movie Show Theater: The Podcast

Darren Aronofsky currently has six feature films under his belt, yet is one of most brilliant and talented directors of our generation. He is fearless with what he presents on screen, and he has personal attachment to everything he puts his creative hands on. The Fountain fell under the radar for a lot of people, but it really is quite a good story. I think a lot of people also went in to this movie thinking it was something it was not. It is a love story, yes, but not in the traditional linear direction most love story dramas take. That is part of why I appreciate Aronofsky so much. There is a memorable scene where Hugh Jackman's character is moving through space and time, and the effects are pretty impressive.
