Spoilers below.

(1) Opening
He like Prince Charming/Snow White, as soon as he appears, he can't resist So indulged in his charm, he didn't want to take his eyes away in the blink of an eye. Probably, this was love at first sight.
Countless times, in my mind, I kept imagining wonderful people and things, and navigating my own fantasy world, but some feelings were always blurred, without faces, shapes, and meanings, like a dense fog, but they still attracted me constantly. The imagination, looking, even without a destination. The moment I saw him, it was as if the thick fog suddenly dissipated, and I finally saw clearly what I had been looking forward to. It means: I searched for her thousands of times in my dream, and when I look back, that person is there, where the lights are dim.
I've loved this movie since the hand gently stretched out of the curtain. He brought beautiful scenery that had never been seen before, but also had a feeling of deja vu. Watching him lightly sprinkle silver paper, riding the breeze, fluttering, twinkling, turning into a snow-capped plain, into the dancing cherry blossoms in the forest, into the dandelion in the hiking mountains... I feel With the colorful scenery and the vibrant breath from him, I quietly look forward to the next second surprise.
It was a silver face, silver helmet, silver armor, with small wings, alert eyes, and a mischievous smile. Such an exaggerated shape was so natural and peaceful on his face, so I moved out of the small bench, sat in front of him, and began to listen to his stories.
"I'm from Mars" (I read the subtitle is translated like this)
reminds me of a cartoon I once read, about the gods and a ring, about greed, desire and snatch, Vulcan is the spectator and narrator of the story, Occasionally cameo, acting as a messenger and the like. Is this also a story about God and desire?
This is the fantasy world I love.
(2) The story The
story is actually very simple. It is a bet made by two extraordinary people (either gods or devils). However, as different people join in, the development of things becomes more and more diversified. I can't figure it out.
The source of everything is Mr. Nick, who visited these monks to tell them the real situation of the world: no one wants to listen to stories, and they are not telling stories to keep the world running. But both of them insisted on their own opinions, so there was a bet. Mr. Nick deliberately lost the bet and gave Dr. Parnassus the winner's prize - immortality (and Percy immortalized together?), but it doesn't seem to mention it What if Dr. Parnassus lost. It seems that Mr. Nick deliberately intends to use a thousand years to let Dr. Parnassus know the world, and despairs about it. To put it bluntly, he is very happy to see Dr. Parnassus embarrassed. If this is the case and make Valentina a prize, then What a tragedy.
Next, Dr. Parnassus fell in love with a woman at first sight in desperation. In order to restore his youth and pursue a woman, he signed an agreement with Mr. Nick, Mr. Nick gave him his youth, and in return, Dr. Parnassus, his child was 16 years old. Owned by Mr. Nick. In the blink of an eye, Dr. Parnassus began to struggle and regret again, but at this juncture, Mr. Nick proposed another bet, whoever wins first will have Valentina, so that the father can be saved again. daughter.
At this point, I have to say that this Mr. Nick is really a kind person, always giving people the chance to regret, and always abides by the agreement.
The rest of the story is what happens when our great hero meets such a group of people.
Keyword of the story:
Tony -- Little toe-rag (this sentence is from Mr. Nick, incisive description)
Mercury (Anton) -- Messenger (I don't know what the whole movie is going to convey)
The most complicated should be Mr. Nick & Dr. Parnassus, which represent reality and dream respectively?
(3) There are too many things that are confused
and unclear:
Why did Mr. Nick go to see Dr. Parnassus, and what was his purpose? If Dr. Parnassus accepts Mr. Nick's opinion, then he will go back obediently? I don't think so.
Why did the Russian mafia choose mother and go to destruction? Who and who does Valentina's final choice, His or Hers, refer to? Why did she choose Mr. Nick and still live a normal life? She didn't die, so the other people who made the choice didn't die either, so was Tony dead or alive?
I don't understand why Tony appeared. I don't know if he is good or bad. Mr. Nick also said that he always wanted to get Tony, but there is always someone or a force to protect him. If Dr. Parnassus can help him kill Tony, Then Valentine is free. So, was he using the game to get Tony? He knew that Dr. Parnassus was very powerful, but he wouldn't help him easily, so he made one bet after another?
It seems to be talking about Tony, but it always seems to be talking about Dr. Parnassus.
Tony said the following paragraph, carefully read, only to understand a little bit of the meaning of this play:
do you just despair? Despair at all that is wrong in the world...despair at your inability to do anything to change it...to make it better...i despaired so much at the powerlessness of my own existence that i took the easy way out...the coward's way...i committed suicide! Yes, that's right, i killed myself. Can you understand my despair? But i was saved...saved by a miracle...the imaginarium. ..and doctor Parnassus. He brought me back from the dead. He gave me a new life. a reason to live. he has given me power to dream again...to dream of a better world
. I get it, I think it's a decent movie. (How come it reminds me of "The Emperor's New Clothes", I'm also a layman, ha)
(4) Tony's actor (A film from Heath Ledger friends)
To be honest, these 4 famous people, I only know Johnny Depp , although when the first alcoholic went in and changed his face, he was still sighing, his memory was not as good as before, and he could also remember the face mask sample a few seconds ago. It was not until Johnny Depp appeared that he was sure that it was not his mistake. , is the plot needs, it can be said that Johnny Depp helped a lot, otherwise the next two scenes will definitely be seen in the clouds.
I don't know Heath Ledger very well. After reading the introduction, I realized that he had acted in "Brokeback Mountain". His acting skills were said to be infinitely powerful. There are many people who think that Johnny Depp may be more suitable to play Tony. They really think that among these 4 performances, only the two of them feel the most similar, and it is not clear whether they played Tony the best or Johnny Depp played the best. Tony who is close to Heath Ledger, or Heath Ledger imitating Johnny Depp's style, since everyone thinks Tony should feel that way, then I think Heath Ledger is really no worse than Johnny Depp.

2. Later, I checked it online, and this shape should be the god Mercury in Roman mythology. In the Script circulating on the Internet, this line should be: I'm Mercury.
Mercury (Latin Mercurius), at first his image came from Turms in Etruscan mythology, but mainly borrowed from Hermes in Greek mythology.
Son of Jupiter and Maia Maiestas. He was the fastest god and thus became the messenger of the gods. He usually wears winged shoes, a winged hat and holds a magic wand. At the same time, he is engaged in commerce and trade, and takes on the responsibility of sending souls to the next life.
