Rating: 5.0
Intelectually meaningful, good casting, interesting plot
This film is an interesting film with the quest of the holy grail in 21st century by a "crazy", homeless man named perry(Robin Williams. His Knight in his shining armor,jack(Jack Bridges), who was responsible for giving advice to a madman causing the death of perry's wife and a couple more in a restaurant. Jack who was once a famous disk jockey now lives with his girlfriend(played by Mercedes Reuhl) drinks heavily and wallow with guilt due to his advice. Perry who in his mind sees a red knight that breathes fire (due to dimentia) actually loves some girl but too shy to approach her. The irony of this movie is that Jack who doesn't even know what love is actually helps Perry to date Mary and act as a cupid. This movie is full of comedic scene that lightens the mood, symbolism, and a modern way to view chivalry. The movie also illustrates human suffering, violence, redemption and love.
