Week Eleven; THE FOUNTAIN

This story was quite interesting.you felt very confused while reading it because it felt like you were watching something in someone’s dream or in outer space but never really sure where or with whom you were. As you continue to read the sense of characters and their connection becomes a bit more clear. There is always a man and a women, and they seem to meet back at this tree but the tree continues to die and be reborn and so do the couple. Each new body and face they appear in is new and in a new age over and over again. But they always come together in whatever life or form they take and they are bound together by a wedding ring which they draw a great amount of attention to no matter the life they enter. You have a real sense of a fast pass, a fleetingness if you will, they are always running out of time together and each life is spent loving each other and trying to survive long enough to continue to love each other. It’s frantic and desperate in its search for a way to live. It’s so sad and relatable. Raw.
