Hi – Great show. I agree that the film 'The Fountain' is like a tone-poem. I'd like to add that someone in an interview (which I cannot find the link to) suggested that Darren Aronofsky's three movies – 'Pi,' 'Requiem For A Dream,' and 'The Fountain' – could make up a Mind, Body and Soul trilogy as each movie deals with one of those concepts. From what I remember Aronofsky seemed rather suprised by this, but it does work. Also, some of the main characters in each film are like seekers who are going down a dangerous path.

I really enjoyed your discussion of the film. I also did not agree with all of Aranofsky's conclusions, but I did appreciate many aspects of the film. I think another interesting film that you guys could discuss is Magnolia. I would love to hear your ideas about this film. But, great work on your analysis of "The Fountain" and I look forward to your future broadcasts.

I enjoyed your discussion of this film and look forward to many more. I have been a big fan of "Watching the directors" and look forward to whatever comes next.

I finally got to see The Fountain and listen to your podcast. At first I was reluctant to see it since I did not enjoy and found little to appreciate in Pi and Requiem for a Dream. The Fountain was a refreshing change from the director (for me, at least). Thanks for encouraging me to see an engaging and worthwhile film I otherwise would have blown off.

Keep up the good work.

I have caught on too late and realized there is only a limited amount of episodes. This is sad to me. You have taught and shown me a deapness that is achievable in film although not present in many. I encourage you to rekindle these programs. It is hard to find film reviews and discussion from people with your values and depth of commentary.

I am an aspiring cinematographer that has been in videography for 8 years and you have opened a new depth in film and story to me. Thanks for all the time you have put into these progams and I pray for more… one day.
