The imaginarium
The other day i saw a film called "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" by Terry Gilliam. Its not often a film leaves me with a feeling of "wt....huh?". I have no idea whether i thought the film was good or bad. It was just different and weird at the same time. Tons of famous actors including; Heath Ledger (his last film) Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Christopher Plummer and many more. Terry Gilliam is the man who directed and wrote some of the Monthy Python, so it was bound to be a bit different. The scenery was awesome, like a little fairytale world with some weird additions. The acting was over all good. I liked Heaths performance but not so much Collin Farrels as he just reminded me too much of Johnny Depps character in the pirate films. It took a while to get into the film...and well the story is original to say the least. I would say that either the man is crazy or a genius. Then again thats a fine border for some.
