"What if you could live forever?"
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz
Director: Darren Aronofsky
I find the movie interestingly different.
Three parallel love stories, each from the past, present and the future, all with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz playing the main characters as follows:
- Past Story: About Tomas being a conquistador in the Mayan underworld, who's looking for "the tree of life" to free his demonized Queen Isabel;
- Present Story: Dr Tommy Creo, an oncologist who's researching "various trees" through animal testing, trying to find a cure for his wife, Izzi Creo;
- Future Story: Tom, an astronaut who travels in an ecospheric spacecraft housing a "living tree", towards a golden nebula. He was often accompanied by with visions of Izzi.
The scenes in this movie were very pretty (especially when combined with the beautiful music). The movie has a very interesting dreamy-like calming effect.
Rating: 8.2/10
P.S.: This movie was originally going to start in 2002 with a budget of $70million - starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. This was shut down.
The project was resurrected in 2004, with half the original budget.
