Imagination is not only visual. I was curious about the cast before I watched the movie. How do so many big-name first-line male stars fit in? It turned out that the lead actor Heath Ledger died when he finished filming the real-world scene. The director changed the script and added the setting of changing his face when he entered a foreign land. The rest of the scene was given to Qiang. Ni Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will perform. It also created a rare movie recently in which so many first-line male stars appeared.
These three people are basically acting in their true colors in three different illusions-I saw Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean" soaking up old women (the old woman looks like Merkel -, -), "Detective Sherlock Holmes" Dr. Watson wanted to climb to heaven, and Ray's glory and hysteria in "The Killer Has No Holiday" caused a split of the character image to a certain extent. On the contrary, Heath Ledger himself was a bit eclipsed, but it also happened to reflect this role. Crazy.
The cast is more than that: Dr. Parnassos is Christopher Plummer (the actor of "The Sound of Music"), Hollywood's most famous dwarf Willer Thye ("Powers of Ace"). The bigger highlights are the handsome guy Andrew Garfield and the half-ripe girl Lily Cole. Andrew Garfield is really a rare handsome guy these days, and he is responsible for most of the funny sections of the film at the expense of his image: a clown with a gold face, a fat lady with a big waist, a wife with a hat... and Lily · Cole is probably the strongest fantasy character in the film, so he did his part on the poster of this film. This elf-like little beauty born in 1988, the director will naturally not just show her face~ It is most appropriate to use a word from Andrew Garfield in the film to describe her: scrumptious.
Does it feel a bit messy? Yes, this is a British fantasy film, so it is not surprising that these are a bit cold jokes. In fact, the film’s narrative is rather chaotic. In addition to various fantasy shows and funny sections, the film also wants to tell a Faustian story. Dr. Parnassos got immortal in his deal with the devil, but he wanted to offer his daughter’s soul, and then the devil tempted him to make new deals again and again. He faced a choice every time, and he made repeated mistakes and finally destroyed it forever. He—he couldn't die, he was given immortality. Similarly, every other character is faced with the fetters of dreams, devil's transactions, etc., with metaphors about tarot card culture interspersed in the middle, there are too many things to express, and it ends up in chaos.
But at least we can still see fantasy shows and big names.
I almost forgot to say that the film was recently released in China, and it was cut out for 20 minutes, and most of it was not pornographic and violent political clips. It seemed to cut corners and unbelievable purely to shorten the theater's screening time.
