aronofsky is one of my favorite directors but this is his pattern, unfortunately. He makes Pi, then Requiem for a dream. Oscar nominations and awards for the latter. Holywood is like wow this guy is awesome give him all the momey he wants, total 100% creative control! He then makes The Fountain, a huge box office failer and a WTF movie. Then he struggles to get any money again. Makes a much lower budget film The Wrestler. Pure awesomeness, lots of awards. A little bigger budget makes Black Swan, oscars awards etc. Now Hollywood again is like this guy is awesome, give him all the money he wants! Lol
