A "Love Lost" trilogy

[Reaver]

Here is something I put in another thread, but it got well ignored, so I'll re-post it here in case anyone has an opinion:

Last night I finally got to sit down and watch "The Fountain" (I bought the Blu-Ray version), and when I was finished with it I was struck by how much it reminded me of Soderbergh's "Solaris." Both were movies about men who lost the loves of their lives and how they dealt with that loss. And, as I continued to think about it, another movie that came to mind was "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind." True, in that film the protagonist's loved one didn't die, but his relationship was killed, and the entire film was about the aftermath of that lost love. So, I thought I'd come here and see what you fine folks thought. I think they form a sort of trilogy between them.

First, "The Fountain." Here we have a story that takes place in three different places and time periods, but the central story deals with Dr. Tom Creo trying, and failing, to save the life of his wife. She firmly believed that life could flow from death, so most of the film follows him working to fulfill her desire to have her death carry on new life, and how that shapes his future.

Second, "Solaris." Here we've got Chris Kelvin, a man whose wife committed suicide, and who spends the years after that event regretting what part he might have played in her death. Later in the film he gets another chance to make right many of the things he did wrong in the past, and we get to see how he deals with that second chance, even if it's only a simulacrum.

Lastly, "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind." Joel Barish is a man who not only suffered the injury of having his heart broken when his girlfriend left him, but he also had to suffer the insult of her having his memory wiped from her mind by her choice. He decides to respond in kind, but in so doing he struggles to keep her memories, realizing that even the bad ones are better than nothing at all.

All three of these films show how three different men handle losing their love, and each of them does it so differently. It's not exactly a "feel-good" trio of movies to watch back to back, but I think it would make for an interesting exercise.

Thoughts?
