And the "masses" have spoken...
Though I compliment the reviewer below for his/her vocabulary, I've never been one to appriciate any wordy rendition of the phrase "I didn't get it." Also, from the wording, I'd think this person didn't even actually see "The Fisher King," or didn't have the sound up.But let's forget about pretentious reviewers who think they're deeper than "cookie sheets."Visually stunning, beautifully acted, and a timeless tale told in a completely new light, this film is wonderful. Actually the first film Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Time Bandits, 12 Monkeys) shot in America, made for a studio, and made from someone else's script, which seems to be the way his films since have been made. If you aren't familiar with his work, I would reccommend "Brazil" and "Time Bandits" to start. But "The Fisher King" does stand on its own as a fine film regardless.
