I used to want to find a Faust movie to watch, one is too old, and the other is an animated movie made by Czech Svanmeier, but after reading the book, I still want to find a modern version of fantasy The movie Faust, never able to wait, finally Dr. Parnassus fantasy show should be the closest movie to Faust. Director Terry Gilliam with a strange visual style is following another masterpiece by Twelve Monkeys and the Brothers Grimm. Although the sad death of Heath Ledger in the film, it is still worth appreciating the film itself, especially the Doctor and the Devil Bet, the allusion of Faust's bet with the devil Mephistopheles in Faust is very classic, as long as you read the book and see this detail again, you will think involuntarily. And the process of an alcoholic entering the fantasy show at the beginning of the film to redeem the soul also came from Faust. However, the various details and the director's own unique elements still make the film very different from Faust's book, but from the beginning of the introduction of Faust's bet to the end of the comedy, it is a match for Faust. The book of Virtue, but did not excavate the connotation of Faust to the audience, such as the spirit of Faust and the pursuit of Faust. These connotations are either understated or simply ignored. But in general, people who love movies can experience some elements of Faust while appreciating their favorite movie stars, and it should be said that they still gain something.
