The Fountain.

This was one of those surreal movies that you only understand when you reach the very end.

My comment to my friend: “I didn’t know Hugh Jackman could do a full lotus.”

It was either that or they had a body double from the waist down. He also looks… different bald.

Anything coherent is a potential spoiler, so I leave you with breadcrumbs. The fountain of youth. The tree of life. The queen of Spain. Lots of cutting back and forth to different points in time. Pretty woman, Hugh Jackman, and beautiful special effects. If you liked the brain-twistiness of time travel movies/episodes, sentimental romance that lasts for all time, and Hugh in any mode of dress (the costume people must have had a ball with him), this movie is for you.
