Waits gave my favorite performance in the film, but he's a god in my book, so I'm biased to say the least. Also, I think F&L in LV is still Gilliam's best film, but I haven't seen Brazil yet.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-23035120882422305912012-07-12T00:20:36.797+01:002012-07-12T00:20:36.797+01:00I enjoyed it, too!

It wasn't as memorable as my fav by Gilliam - fear and loathing in LV - but I did enjoy the experience.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-61614765689655598272012-07-11T15:24:50.625+01:002012-07-11T15:24:50.625+01:00Sometimes it was a little to colourful for my tast...Sometimes it was a little to colourful for my taste (inside the imaginarium), but outside of it everything was perfect. A little confusing and bizarre, but good. Though the first time I watched it I was a bit disappointed. And now I need to watch it again because of Garfield - at the time I really didn't notice him. <br /><br />Anyway, the fact that Depp, Law and Farrell stepped forward to play Heath's character... it's beautiful. It's sounds lame, but I really thought it was a beautiful gesture and a great way to honor him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100758997830469219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-47565317829387455612012-07-10T23:31:08.695+01:002012-07-10T23:31:08.695+01:00Garfield was really good, I was a bit surprised, c...Garfield was really good, I was a bit surprised, considering it was more of a comedic role, and he usually does dramas!

I've been meaning to see it forever since it's Heath's last film. I think it's a bizarre movie, which is expected given it's Gilliam's, but overall I thought it was fun. It has a cautionary tale in there somewhere but kinda lost amidst all the surreal and colorful visuals. I thought Heath was great, he's such a charismatic actor, but I also love Garfield here, I don't think he's ever disappointed me in anything [so far I've seen 5 of his films].<br /><br />Plummer was good too, though his performance isn't any better than his usual stuff, but it's nice to see him doing something THIS bizarre. I also enjoy the other 3 actors replacing Heath, Depp especially, I mean Heath kind of resembled him in parts so the transition felt smooth to me.<br /><br />This might be my favorite Gilliam's movie out of all I've seen, I didn't like The Brothers Grimm much.ruthhttp://flixchatter.netnoreply@blogger.com
