This I honestly have no idea what happened, haha. When I checked singustosleep's prompt for this month - at the movies, with black and white for the art prompt - this was the first movie I thought of. I'm not sure why, but it wouldn't leave my brain, so I stuck with it.

The Fountain is a bit of a weird movie. Parts are about a conquistador and his queen - sent across the ocean to find immortality and free his queen from the hold of the church. Others a modern romance - the woman slowly dying, and the man trying to do everything he can to save her. And the last parts are of a man, seemingly travelling alone through space - a dying tree his only company as he hallucinates about the dead woman he still loves. They all intermingle and form a single story - which can be interpreted a number of ways. But at the core of it, it's a love story, told in three different times.

Anyway, the movie itself has an amazing and very haunting score to it, and I wanted to do something a little different from the score - so, I purposely picked songs with lyrics, instead of instrumentals. This is nowhere near as beautiful as the soundtrack and the movie itself, but I tried to at least capture the different parts of the movie, as strange as the timeline within it is. And, I hope that even if you haven't seen the movie, you'll enjoy the mix.

I WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO THE DARK ❣ THE FOUNTAIN FST
