I know Requiem is generally considered the better movie (although personally I prefer The Fountain), but I think in terms of Mansell's scores, The Fountain is unquestionably better. So incredible.
Really? I thought The Fountain score, while beautiful, was a letdown in comparison to Requiem. I was kind of bummed when I recognized that certain cues from the music were ver very similar to Requiem. Not a bad thing, bt the qualit of the Requiem soundtrack had me wanting something entirely new and different.
And I was disappointed by the Fountain in general. I view it as an either out of ten. After years of waiting, it seemed like Aronofsky had to cut corners and "dumb down" his movie in order to get it made. It was totall a let down after more than a half decade of waiting. Requiem ma be more of a bummer and a sad trip, but it says what it says more conclusively, and in a more satisfyingly stylistic manner.
