I really don't know what those people who talk about and talk about are alive every day. Can people live more meaninglessly? When watching these films, you know what true feelings are, and you are usually hypocritical and shameless.

This film belongs to the atypical sci-fi genre. Of course, as an atypical director, Gilliam basically shoots atypical works, with a grotesque and self-contained style; this film has a sci-fi skin, but what it insists on conveying is the Scientific research or the opposite religious view of rationalism - fatalism: everything that happens and doesn't happen is predestined, cannot be resisted, can only be accepted. This pessimism and despair is also its charm.

L.J. Washington: I don't really come from outer space.
Jeffrey Goines: Oh. L. J. Washington. He doesn't really come from outer space.
L.J. Washington: Don't mock me my friend. It's a condition of mental divergence. I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?
