The film is a film about the self-examination, summary and oath of the artistic career. Even if Gilliam still uses his most familiar humorous method and sets the story in his favorite medieval Europe, it will not change the film. What is written is the fact that he is himself. In a sense, the film is Gilliam’s "Eight and a half". In the film, the director who accidentally touched the past during the filming process was forced to start a period of retrospect, self-evaluation and reflection. Journey of mind. The story goes from weird to utterly absurd. A director who got stuck in filming Don Quixote and was dragged down by reality, and a countryman who once played Don Quixote and couldn’t help himself, formed his inner thoughts and self-evaluation. The two levels. What Gilliam wants to say is very clear-even if the reality is so ruthless and snobbish, as an artist, he still has to choose to fight against the huge windmill. This simple and straightforward theme was presented in the film by the young film director "inheriting" the old Don Quixote mantle and becoming a new "idealistic lunatic". The process of Gilliam shooting the film itself has become the commentary on the theme of the film

This can actually be shown in the country, is it because the representatives of the management in this era are Russians? Except for the love line, the other plots are actually quite entertaining and beautiful.

Terry Gilliam's "Eight and a Half" is not worth it. In the first half hour, the Toby (creator)-character-audience relationship was established with flashbacks, and then there was the time-disordered Gilliam-esque fantasy. Toby reunites with the characters he created and takes part in their fictional lives, the encounters of Don Quixote and Angelica are shadows of his fears and anxieties, the caves (castles, temples, coal pits) are the containers of dreams . Reality and fiction are layered on top of each other, and some of the clues deliberately set are blind. Trying to distinguish between reality and non-reality is futile and ridiculous. The climax at the end is like a large-scale immersion drama. The real protagonist is Toby, and Toby is unable to save anyone's fate. The ending was written by himself ten years ago. After all, he and "Don Quixote" have the same destination. Gilliam only wrote hymns for the lunatic, Don Quixote passed from one visionary to another, fantasy itself is immortal, no one can kill Don Quixote. (This role is destined to be Adam Driver's, unruly and innocent extreme tension, explosive, flexible body expression)
