I can’t believe you left out the most impactful line in the entire movie!
“I miss her.Can I miss her now?”
I cried so hard.
she DOES NOT EVEN GET THIS
@@susanelkins3068 Don't be too harsh, because sometimes we're just preoccupied or need to watch a movie multiple times to get more or everything outta it!
I myself am just happy to watch a reaction to it because this is a very underrated movie with far too less reactions, and ye, Im watching this one for the 2nd time now, lol.
The movie is genius ! I just get infuriated when reactors don't really watch.
@@susanelkins3068 @davidwoolbright2416 Watching again & I agree; & am still waiting for others to pick it up; :)
CZcams: Get your shitty section up to par !!
The scene in Grand Central Terminal is one of the most extraordinary scenes in film history. It's two minutes long, not a single word of dialogue is spoken, and yet it's the most perfect depiction I've ever seen of what it feels like to be in love with somebody. absolute magic.
I wish more people knew about this movie. It's SO good!
I love it!!!!!!! I request lots of 🍿 movies from reactors. Will include this one!
The director of this masterpiece was Terry Gilliam, the only American in the British comedy troupe 'Monty Python', he originally just did crazy animation sketches for their TV show but quickly started taking part in the acted sketches themselves
Gilliam films do not get enough reactions. It's sad... everyone always does the big Hollywood blockbusters.
Aye see also 12 Monkeys, Brazil, screenplay for fear and loathing, Time Bandits
The Red Knight was Perry's psychological manifestation of the blood splatter when his wife was murdered. That's why it was always chasing him. Terry Gilliam is a master of symbolism and stuffs. This is definitely a great movie to re-watch multiple times just to find and absorb all the effort Gilliam put into the film.
Oooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!! I would have never guessed that but it makes so much sense.
@@BelleLifeisinBloom If you remember, William’s character was staring into her eyes when the shotgun blast obliterated her head. The Red Knight is the visual representation of that memory and his insanity is his mind running from it. Also, notice that anytime he gets close to that memory is when the red knight appears.
I can’t adequately say how good this movie is. Thank you for watching it.
Yes! The more I watched of it, the more I loved it.
If you like movies of slightly tragic fantasy, you should watch Kikujiro - 1999
I don’t know how you feel about subtitled movies.
@@oaf-77 I'm good with subtitles. I'll check it out. Thank-you!
Musician David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills & Nash) has praised this movie in writing and in concert, saying how he related so much to Robin Williams' character. Crosby's girlfriend died suddenly in a car crash and it threw him into depression and drug addiction that took several years to climb out of. When he saw this movie the line, "Can I miss her now?" struck home for him. He finally came to accept his girlfriend's death and move past it.
You may have seen Amanda Plummer in the Quentin Tarantino movie "Pulp Fiction", she helps rob the diner.
YEA!!!!!!! It was ME that suggested this on a previous post of yours. I'm so happy when I help convert someone to the fandom of this great, underrated and almost forgotten movie. The awesome script, the direction of Terry Gilliam and the chemistry between the 4 main actors and their performances are so sublime. Mercedes Ruehl won Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance. It is definitely a movie you'll want to watch again and again (I probably watch it once a year on average) and you'll catch some details you may have missed earlier. I'll add a separate comment later about how I know someone can initially feel about the "creepy/stalking" profession of love that Parry confesses to Lydia. So glad you enjoyed it!!! God bless!
THANK-YOU so much for recommending this movie! I truly loved it. It was sad and heartwarming and real and raw and just perfect.
@@BelleLifeisinBloom I meant to include this link in my original post. Mercedes winning the Oscar for her role.
czcams.com/video/nyBKt7fifqc/video.html
12:20, the moment you know Mercedes Ruehl will get the Oscar for her acting.
11:14 Stalking? Close but not quite. He never intruded, invaded her private space or tried to catch her alone. He was always far away and in extremely public spaces and he never had any intention of doing otherwise. It was Jack that schemed to draw her to him. Creepy, yes but just a little.
Terry Gilliam is one of a kind, and not everyone appreciates his movies. Glad you loved it. You might also want to try 12 Monkeys. Brazil is my personal favorite by Gilliam, but it's not for everyone (although it should be). If you liked Jeff Bridges, try The Big Lebowksi.
All of those are now on my list. Yes, I loved it. I keep loving it!
Glad you enjoyed the movie. This was one of the earliest mature films I ever watched back in the day so I have quite a bit of nostalgia for it.
My uncle Adolf would sit me down and have me watch epic films. He started with the Gilliam collection. I remember seeing Brazil when I turned 10 and the symbolism flipped my mind.
Robin Williams love interest in this movie was in “Pulp Fiction”
Amanda Plummer.. Christopher Plummer’s daughter.. She was also the axe murderer in that Mike Myers movie, “So I Married an Axe Murderer”..
Yes, it's Amanda Plummer. She played Honey Bunny (the woman from the couple who wants to rob the diner) in Pulp Fiction.
he is not really a stalker...as you said it is a movie about communication....he is someone who is damaged by a past trauma and is afraid to get close to someone after what happened last time..it may seem creepy but how do 2 lonely awkward people meet without someone taking the first step.
You should react to Terry Gilliam's other films, specifically Brazil and 12 Monkeys. Both films are masterpieces and I think you'd really enjoy them.
Thank-you! I will definitely add them to my list of recommendations.
@@BelleLifeisinBloom also, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
“Time Bandits” is another
...and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - Heath Ledgers last movie.
And if you're up for something trippy, try Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
It's a great movie. Although Jack could never give to Perry his wife and past life, he helped Perry get a new life. Just when Jack goes back to being a jerk, he actually feels guilt and redeems himself. Loved your review.
I love this movie soooo much. Watching you watch it, I was upset by you mistaking Perry’s stalking as a negativity thing. But your reaction by the end while realizing there was no creepiness… only love, that made me look back and enjoy your reactions more. Not all infatuation is creepy… sometimes it’s just real love.
5:10, Amanda Plummer, Honey Bunny of Pulp Fiction fame.
I've seen that movie but I don't really remember it.
And So, I Married An Ax-Murderer.
The difference between stalking and romantic pursuit is if the girl likes the guy. I'm sure you heard of stories where guys were persistent to finally win someone over. Guys are always the ones who are expected to pursue.
This is oneof the best most unknown movies of all time. Well done for including it.
Thank-you. I'm so glad it was recommended to me.
@@BelleLifeisinBloom no problem came for the babe stayed for the good taste. I'm reading 📚 Malorys king Arthur. The middle English was hard at first but now I am tuned in. The line im the janitor of god is one of the best in cinema.
@@BelleLifeisinBloom you never need a good attitude more when you have no reason to have one
I love this movie. One of my all time favorites. It's a shame that not a lot of people have seen it. Terry Gilliam's other two films before this are also amazing, Brazil & Baron Munchausen (which also features Robin Williams)
He's grappling with PTSD. It is a beautiful movie, resonates with me. It is one of the truly great ones. Thank you Terry Gilliam and Robin Williams.
Cheers 🍺
This is such a beautiful, heavy, sad and joyous movie!!
I like that u took time to watch some of the great movies out of the current main streams what's been going around as of now; another great oddball of the same year would be 'Night on Earth' by Jim Jarmusch.
I love this movie and it's a great film to go into with no prior knowledge - what a wild and surprising ride! While you're exploring the '90s, try Out of Sight (1998). I think it's pretty close to a perfect film.
I will definitely watch another almost perfect film. Thank-you!
I recommend two other films by Terry Gilliam, "Brazil" and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen". They are both so good, and Munchausen has been one of my favorite films for years.
Brazil is a really wild and weird movie.
The Red Knight doesn’t represent his guilt, it represents the actual thing that happened - it’s a visual reminder of what happened, (gun) fire and blood - and the only thing he hasn’t been able to fully suppress. Everything else he has put away, including who he is. And so, when the Red Knight reappears right after Parry’s date with Lydia is over, it instills in him a terror that he is going to lose her too, and by extension that there is no hope whatsoever for him. I remember seeing that scene for the first time and how my heart sank. It was one of the most heartbreaking movie scenes I had ever seen.
As a homeless advocate I highly recommend this movie. The symbolism in it is relentless. The theme of movie is in Parry’s explanation of the Fisher King. Watch it first for the story, then over and over for the symbolism.
Awesome. I'm glad you reacted to this movie, it's one of my favs.
I can see what you mean about the stalking/obsession angle of Parry's character and how it has a certain creepy feel to it in 2021. That is something that simply would not have occurred to the audience when this movie was released (or at least not to the male audience). It would be interesting to see how that love confession would have been handled now-a-days. It's a tough one!
Watch Good Morning Vietnam. That is another great Robin Williams movie
I’m SO glad you chose this highly underrated film. Robin is masterful, and the guy who sang to Lydia at work was in The Green Mile…Del. He’s a classic character actor. Seattle is sending you love!
That's the late Michael Jeter. He was a regular on the CBS sitcom Evening Shade with Burt Reynolds.
@@Madbandit77 , Thanks so much for putting his name in. He’s a truly amazing actor.
Such a lovely reaction!!! One of my favourite films
great movie and a great cast jeff bridges and robin williams what can go wrong. if you want a good movie watch the big lebowski an amazing movie. like your reactions
I've heard of that one. I'll have to check it out. Thank-you!
Mr Noodles is the crossdresser and a good actor
"Fisher King" is the best movie EVER made in history.
I love that you recognized Lydia from an entirely different movie than the one I thought you would know her from.
RIP Robin Williams. I hope you happy back on Ork
Not sure if you take suggestions but here are several: Heat, My Cousin Vinnie, What About Bob?, Se7en, Inception, and the 1978 Superman. 😀
I always take suggestions. Thank-you!
Gun to my head. I would pick this as my favorite movie.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Nobody but Robin Williams could have played the part of Perry. And Jeff Bridges was great. Frankly, I related to him more than any other character I've ever seen in ANY movie. Pretty much everyone who sees it says it's a great movie . It's not just me. I don't understand why hardly anyone has seen it. Or heard of it.
this film is considered by many to be a masterpiece , and I would have to agree !

It's sad that the majority of people never herd of this movie.
Mental health
Stalking? Honestly, what is WRONG with you millennials??
Yea any form of pursuit of is stalking now
