I had the pleasure of feasting my eyes upon the brilliant "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" which at first, I wasn't sure I liked, it had no middle, no end, no reason, no purpose, no story, no moral, nothing, but thats what made it perfect, I realised how much I loved it whilst sat in bed last night, it was everything my mind needs, utter gibberish, yet so deep and meaningful. It was so good to see the wonderful Heath Ledger on screen again as I missed him, god rest his soul. He gave a killer performance, as did the other actors. It is a film that will fly over the heads of many, as it did mine when I first watched it, I didnt at all take it in, then on my way home, walking in the cold, I realised it was challenging me, a film, was challenging me, setting me a challenge. It was testing my imagination, I discovered that real life isnt enough for me and my mind. Real life today consisted of unpacking boxes of individually plastic wrapped t-shirts, putting them into different boxes, that isn't testing my brain at all, my imagination is dead, and had been for the past few weeks, the film woke me back up, made me realise how crazy I was. It seems on the surface a film that only Meth Heads and Junkies would be able to understand, but I did see what it was aiming for. It really made me ask questions, and if ive missed the bigger picture and the actual lesson it was trying to teach its audience, then please excuse me, but for me, it taught me enough, so I'm satisfied, thankyou. For waking me up.
I also reaslied how perfect Lily Cole is, and I would very much like to make her my wife forever, cheers.
I recommend it to anyone and everyone, especially anyone who needs to be ripped out of their blithered day in day out life or boredom. Go, sit for an hour or two, and just embrace it. You will feel re invented I assure you.
