I honestly don't care if you didn't like the Fountain. I just want to know why you didn't like it.

I watched them once and had a less than favorable view of them. I took the time to re-watch them and I still think calling them some of the best movies of all time is pretty rediculous. I think the first 2 could have been edited into 3 shorter, more focused films--father's rise, father's fall and son's rise, then son's fall--and would have been a lot better, but still not worthy of quite the acclaim they get. I found it hard to get into them as well...I couldn't connect, there's no character I could really sympatize with or root for, and for me the performances weren't like There Will Be Bloodily good where it can propel itsself on intensity and acting alone.

I feel like the scenes of hiding out in Italy and getting married could have been completely removed without hurting the story...and giving it more time to not bore the hell out of people, that alone disqualifies it from being 'the perfect movie'. Seriously, the bodyguard tries to kill him with a bomb and instead kills the wife...why not just shoot the other bodyguard and then Pacino when they are wandering alone through the landscape and get it over with for certain...STORY OVER...what a 'tard.



I also can't see Citizen Kane still getting the acclaim it does, I get the themes and agree with them strongly, I just didn't feel like it was worth the time I spent to watch it.

The first one was amazing and the 2nd was a masterpiece.
