The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

So I just watched the film, Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. To most who do not know the name, it was the late Heath Ledger's last role, the one he sadly passed away during. It was a magnificent role, but one that could disturb the mind. After all, many conspiracy theorists originally believed that Ledger's death was in part due to the disturbing role of the Joker he played in The Dark Knight. However, after viewing this film and reading articles relating to it, it seems like this role played a tremendous role in his mental state. The film should be credited to the brilliance of director Terry Gilliam, a Minnesota native. He lost his star, three-quarters of the the way through production and the films conclusion laid in the balance. Then in stepped Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Collin Farrel to complete the role. They did a fantastic job finishing the film, and that again should be credited to the brilliance of Terry Gilliam because he had to rewrite the story according to the footage he had with Ledger. The film is ultimately amazing aesthetic beauty in fantasy. The world created is unlike any else, and constantly keeps the mind on edge.  The cardboard cuts out, the elaborate worlds, and the world of Doctor Parnassus played an extreme message in the battle between heaven and hell which is an underlying element of the film. The film will definitely will be remembered as the late Heath Ledgers last  role and the kindness and generosity of Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Collin Farrel as they finished the role and gave the money they earned from filming to Ledger's daughter, Matilda. The film will also be remembered for the crazy world that Terry Gilliam creates and the scenery throughout the film. So overall, I would recommend the screening of the film for what it will be remembered for, Heath Ledger, etc. However, the story  is difficult to follow, but with close attention it makes sense... after awhile. So go out and see this film, but be in a mode to pay close attention to detail and wallop in the aesthetic beauty of the scene. Well so long to all, may your dreams come true.
