This was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I was bawling my eyes out by the end, which seems to be happening a lot these days. Mickey Rourke was sensational. I can't even imagine this movie without him. That being said, I still don't think that he is better than Sean Penn in 'Milk,' but whatever--he's one of the closest seconds that I can recall. Marisa Tomei was great as well. Very sad. I mean the whole thing is just really depressing, which I have to say kind of surprised me. From the trailer I was expecting something much more saccharine, and thankfully it wasn't at all (minus the Evan Rachel Wood scene that was basically a repeat of the ending to 'Thirteen').
I loved this to pieces. Aronofsky's best film to date.
Agreed on EVERYTHING (except the last sentence - still The Fountain). It's so unbearably depressing and impressive.
