    8/10. Gilliam's way of telling stories is still so difficult to accept, crazy characters, unsolvable myths. The difference is that this time he finally found a touch of warmth and normality in his completely original fantasy world, and gave the audience the answers they wanted in a strange and messy world (a happy life does not necessarily require money and power). The most amazing thing is that the parts of reality and magic are closely intertwined and not far-fetched. This is the successful...

    2020047 The lost Holy Grail is finally found in modern-day New York, where the most precious things require the simplest desires.

    Feeling that the world of mental illness is so beautiful that as soon as they see the real face of the world, they can't help but go crazy and say TMD, this is where the world is, it is hell. But even hell we have to live here, so let's try to change and accept this...

    I'm afraid to see the truth in madness. Instead of asking others to strip the madness for you, it is better to find someone who is willing to go crazy with you. Oh loneliness is loneliness, only loneliness makes you realize how vulnerable it used to be when you found that person or group of...

    It's a bit illogical that Mr. Robin has fallen in love with another girl, but still wants to go crazy for his dead ex-wife. But who is calling this a Gilliam film, how much he loves the story of the "Holy Grail"! I really don't know whether asking him to make such a warm and inspirational film of two men has increased or decreased the...

    What does it take to punish an asshole? I thought it was a light sketch when I heard Hit the road Jack at the beginning - I miss my short DJ career. I just said how could TG obediently make secular films! Holy Grail! The red dragon rumbled. Grand Central is a crazy fan. The woods in Central Park really have a medieval feel to them. It's so heartbreaking to see RW in such a role. Bodhi tree (TG likes Chinese characters tee so much. Getting naked is Midwestern. #SIFF2020#...

    I was a little hesitant to see the ratings for the 4th game of SIFF23, but it was better than I expected after watching it. It's very American, very much a New York movie. I accidentally heard a lot of musical songs. The actor's voice is very special, and he should play the "Princess" in Spamalot. The level of nonsense to find the Holy Grail is also very Spamalot. The madness of Robin Williams reminds me of Don Quixote wrestling with windmills. There are many laughs, and although the details...

    Three

    1. Once upon a time, there was a king who met a god in the forest when he was young. The god said to him, as long as you find the legendary holy grail, you can get everything. So he searched and searched, and even hit Jerusalem for this, but he still got nothing. He was suffering from this. One day...

    Knights of the Holy Grail in Central Park, Don Quixote in Manhattan

    From the beginning of this movie, Gilliam became part of Hollywood's industrialization assembly line, but he still had to fight against this "assembly line" in his heart. He claimed to enter Hollywood as "the beginning of the destruction of my virginity." The reason why he chose to go to...

The Fisher King quotes

  • Parry: You can't be in here.

  • Jack Lucas: [as Anne sits on his lap] So much has happened that I think it would be a good thing for both of us if we slowed down a little.

    Anne Napolitano: [confused] Slowed down? Where have I been? Have we been going fast here?

    Jack Lucas: Come on, Anne. Now, look, this has been a real, real difficult time for me this past year or so.

    Anne Napolitano: Yeah?

    Jack Lucas: And, uh, you know, I feel like I'm above water for the first time. I feel like I know a lot more now and I don't want to make any more mistakes.

    Anne Napolitano: So?

    Jack Lucas: I think I need time to... make the right choices. To, uh...

    Anne Napolitano: W-wait, wait, wait. I'm lost here. What are you saying?

    Jack Lucas: I think maybe I should be alone for a while.

    [Anne slowly turns her head, rolls her eyes and gets off him to sit on another chair to face him, Jack tries to keep holding her hand but can only latch onto a finger]

    Jack Lucas: You know, now that I know more, you know, I-I feel that, uh, I should focus on my career, now that I can - now that everything's taken care of. You know, Parry's, uh...

    Anne Napolitano: [interrupts] All right, first of all, first of all, let me just say one thing, okay? You don't know shit. Okay? Secondly, as far as we go, what have we been doing here except time? Have I - have I ever pressured you? Once? Ever?

    Jack Lucas: [partly ashamed] No.

    Anne Napolitano: No. So what time do you need, baby?

    [Jack picks up a cassette case to dawdle with it, Anne grabs it, puts it down and takes his hands]

    Anne Napolitano: I love you. You love me. You want to get your career going? I think that's the greatest thing in the world. I wanna be there...

    [Jack tries to pull one hand away and gets scratched by one of her nails in the process]

    Anne Napolitano: I'm sorry. I wanna be there when it happens. So wh-what do you need time to figure out? Huh?

    [Jack says nothing]

    Anne Napolitano: All right, l-let - let me just ask you one thing. Do you love me?

    Jack Lucas: [holds her hand tighter] I don't know.

    Anne Napolitano: [laughs, pulls herself away from him completely] You can't even give me that, can you? Jesus, Jack! What were you planning to do here? Were you planning on just packing up your things, walking out the door and dropping me a note when you meet somebody new?

    Jack Lucas: I had no idea what I was planning to do. I just said I need time.

    Anne Napolitano: [outraged] Bullshit! If you're gonna hurt me, hurt me now, not some long, drawn-out hurt that takes months of my life because you don't have the balls!

    Jack Lucas: Okay, I'll pack my stuff tonight.

    [gets up and walks away]

    Anne Napolitano: [beginning to cry] Um, what have you been doing here? Could you just tell me that? What have you been doing here?

    Jack Lucas: Look, we both got something out of this, okay?

    Anne Napolitano: [shouting, stands up and throws an object across the room] WHAT DID I GET? WHAT DID *I GET*? What did I get I couldn't have gotten from anybody with no name any night of the week? Do you think your company is such a treat? Your moods, your pain, your problems? Do you think this has been entertaining for me?

    Jack Lucas: [yells back] Well, then what do you want to stay with me for?

    Anne Napolitano: [whispers, crying] Because I love you.

    [she attacks him in a fit of rage which Jack gently and peacefully restrains and holds her as she breaks down sobbing, then pulls herself away from him again]

    Anne Napolitano: No, no, stop it. Stop it. Don't. Don't. No. You don't get to be nice! I'm not gonna play some stupid game with you where we act like we're friends so you have - so you get to walk out that door feeling good about yourself. I'm not a modern woman. If this is over, let's just - let's just call it over.
