In this film, Gilliam still insists on the older generation of artists' discussion of justice and evil, love and eternal life, honesty and deception, life and death, and still uses practical actions to reveal the weight of art.
His fascination with old-fashioned caravan-style performances may be the same as his fascination with mobile circuses and troupes.

Yes, life is a play. When we are intoxicated in the fantasy world on the screen and watching the colorful and lively characters, are we not playing one of them ourselves?

Pursuing the pursuit of others, satisfying the satisfaction of others...
Everyone wants to get into the mirror behind Dr. Parnassos, looking for the real world that is deeply buried or even forgotten, but there are too many We are bound by ropes.

Human fantasy is full of power. The fundamental reason for the end of an era is the exhaustion of imagination. His imagination initially gave him the blood to move forward. When the imagination is about to come true, he begins to fear losing, so the flower of fantasy is beautiful. After blooming, it begins to wither. How can a person release his energy forever and swim in endless fantasy? Either he repeated his fantasies over and over again until he died; or he changed his original fantasies to make them even more unrealistic. I don't think that impractical is a derogatory term, it's just a rhetoric for fantasizing withered people to deceive themselves.
When death can be changed by betting, when death is deemed temporary, what else can make us hesitate! Hurry up and throw the rope that binds you, and rush into the door of fantasy with joy!
