The Fountain is a film I've watched many times as one of my long-time favourites. It has a complicated storyline taking place in three seperate planes and is done very well. If you haven't seen it yet, I heartily recommend it.

| Golden light is a recurring theme in this film. |
The film makes good use of colour balance. A particular golden yellow light is used throughout the film. It intensifies in important moments and is muted in others moments; when the main character's wife is dying in hospital, she is bathed in a white, clinical light. But outside the hospital room the light is golden. That gold light becomes associated with the will to live and determination over the course of the film.

| Golden light versus white light. |

| Purple hues provide a beautiful contrast with the gold. |
