Tonight we discussed “The Fountain” and the group was split down the middle 50/50. Half the people really enjoyed it and the other half didn’t care much for it. People felt that it lacked literal meaning and had a hard time following it. Others enjoyed its ambiguity and embraced the idea of creating ones own meaning. Overall the art was amazing and most people could agree on that.
Next meeting: Blankets

The forums are full of other great topics and we encourage everyone to check them out.
