Who wants to live forever

My free movie ticket had been sitting in my car for at least 6 months since April. The hospital give out movie tickets for employees' birthday. I threw away my homeworks, papers and trivia behind and decided to go to see the movie "The Fountain". My favorite atress, actor, and the fairy tale. I was one of the only three audiences in the theater for the first show of the day. On my way to the movie I went by Rite Aid for after thanksgiving shopping and bought something that was totally out of my shopping list. Well since the shop was very close to the theater, I thought. After shopping, I got lost and could not find the theater. I never been to that theater before..... By the time I got in the room, it was so dark and I stumbled in whatever seat I could touch and sit down.

Last night, Sarah Brightman sang "who wants to live forever" on a TV commercial. The music is still in my mind and today I saw the movie about a man who wants to save his beloved wife dying from cancer. He is a doctor who eager to find the cure for his love. The doctor also struggles himself not letting go the truth of death. Time went to 16 century in Spain. The queen's conquistador finding the tree of life. Then time goes to 26 century the man keeping and nursery the tree. Three parallel stories ends in the same chapter of a book. The man finally let go and was set free himself.

The plot is well-organized since I think that it is not easy to run three stories smooth in a movie. The movie is a bit sad but with the happy ending. (thefountainmovie.warnerbros.com)
Well, finished the movie and work...I guess I still have to face my final exams....Ahhhhhh.....
