The Holy Grail, the Red Knight, the treacherous illusion mix, the real dilemma, the horror, absurdity and affectionate

The first time I went to the cinema after the epidemic was the film festival, which was a bit late.

The holy grail, the red knight, the treacherous illusion mix reality dilemma, the horror, absurdity and affectionate, but the smile is also right.

The madness and boldness of the 1991 film is rare today.

The background color of this movie is heavy, tragic, and realistic, but after mixing in the absurd and full of fantasy plot, it does not dilute the sense of reality and tragedy. It is more like sugar that does not neutralize the bitter taste of coffee. The drink is more flavorful.

This is also a comedy, and the laughs are also what I like. The rich colors bring the romance of the last century, the laughter scenes in Chinese restaurants and the streets, and the romance and search for love when the station turns into a ballroom party. Love.

This movie is also chicken soup, soothing people's hearts and comforting those who have been hurt. Although absurd, the feelings contained in it are so real.

The Fisher King quotes

  • Parry: There's three things in this world that you need: Respect for all kinds of life, a nice bowel movement on a regular basis, and a navy blazer.

  • Jack Lucas: You're on the air, caller.

    Edwin: Hello, Jack, it's Edwin.

    Jack Lucas: Oh, it's Edwin! Edwin, we haven't heard from you in, what, a day? I've missed you.

    Edwin: I've missed you too, Jack.

    Jack Lucas: So, it's sunrise confession time, Ed, what've you got for us?

    Edwin: Um, I went to this bar, this very, you know, hard-to-get-into place called Babbitt's.

    Jack Lucas: Oh. Yeah, I know the place, it's one of those chic yuppie watering holes.

    Edwin: Well, I met this beautiful woman...

    Jack Lucas: [groans] Come on, now, Ed. If you start, uh, telling me you're falling in love again, I'm going to have to remind you of that time we made you propose to that, uh, checkout girl at Thrifty's that you liked so much, you remember her reaction?

    [door slamming is heard with woman screaming sound effects; Jack's crew make disgusted noises]

    Edwin: She was just a girl...

    Jack Lucas: Uh-huh.

    Edwin: ...this is a beautiful woman.

    Jack Lucas: Yeah, and "Pinocchio" is a true story. Ed, you're never going to get this tart to your dessert plate.

    Edwin: No, this is different...

    Jack Lucas: Edwin.

    Edwin: She likes...

    Jack Lucas: Edwi-- hey!

    [whistles]

    Jack Lucas: Hey! Edwin! Hey, c'mon now, I told you about these people, they only mate with their own kind, it's called "yuppie inbreeding". That's why so many of them are retarded and wear the same clothes. They're not human, they don't feel love, they only negotiate "love moments". They're evil, Edwin, they're repulsed by imperfection, horrified by the banal, everything that America stands for, everything that you and I fight for! They must be stopped before it's too late! It's us or them!

    Edwin: [quietly] OK, Jack.

    Jack Lucas: Alright. Well, it's been a thrill. As always, have a perfect day. Everyone here at the Jack Lucas Show says bye. This is Jack Lucas, so long, arrivederce; I'll be sending you a thought today as I lie in the back of my stretched limo having sex with a teenager of my choice, and that thought will be, "Thank God I'm me".
