That movie seems to reflect me, my life. In those days, I was even a bit like Jeff Bridges. I think I am still the selfish and dissolute narcissist he started with. When he had a chance to live his selfish privileged life again, he threw his life on the ground and dumped the beautiful and lovely Mercedes Ruhr who saved him.
In this movie, bridges plays a shocking host (just like Howard stern in 1990s), who encourages a mentally unstable person to dial his radio program and shoots a restaurant full of yuppies with a shotgun. There is a university professor robin williams and his beautiful wife in the dining room. He can't believe that his wife loves him. Her head was blown off in the first shot of the shotgun. He ended up crazy in new york, homeless, looking for food and warmth, avoiding right-wing Trump supporters who wanted to burn him with gasoline.
At the same time, the shock of the shooting made Jeff have a nervous breakdown, lost all his money and lifestyle, and finally lived in a video/porn shop, run by a beautiful but classless Mercedes Ruhr, and fell in love with him. But as he sank deeper and deeper into despair and alcoholism, he was full of contempt, contempt, insult and slander for her, until finally he decided to jump into the East River and commit suicide with cinder bricks tied to his feet. Unfortunately, robin williams saved him, and then a series of events happened, which led to Williams being beaten to death by Trump supporters who hate homeless people, and finally he was in a coma in the hospital, which may never recover. Jeff bridges must make the greatest sacrifice to have a chance to save robin williams and get some redemption.
This horror film is a real and original emotional horror film. It won an Oscar for mercedes ruehl, and it is the only film with a happy ending in terry gilliam.
When I look at the debris of life scattered in front of me, the opportunity to throw it away, the people who are hurt, the careless attitude towards everyone, the advantages of narcissism, I am afraid of the collapse of my wealth and consumer empire, and my failure has reached a stable and lasting romantic relationship. At that time, there was a band called KLF, because the growing band "Blue Man Band" was famous for using one of their songs as a model for their crazy stage performance. But another song of their time always makes me cry, because this song is very suitable for The King of Fishing, and it begins with: "Stop and have a rest and let the engine cool down for a while.
Open beans and collect firewood to make a fire/I hummed this song and sang it to all the girls I know.
Should I care about the opportunity I missed? "
In edgar allan poe's poem The Crow, the heartbroken lover whose wife died screams at the crow, "Is there? Is there any frankincense in Gilead? The crow replied, "Never come again. "Redemption is possible? Terry gilliam has been making films with dystopian endings, which are frustrating and ironic. Did he also write a happy ending for me? Does redemption exist? Is there any frankincense in Gilead? The past few years have often provided evidence to the contrary.
