Man it's so great seeing someone react to this one, I wish more reactors would check it out. Fantastic acting, and it's so beautiful and funny and heartbreaking, but it's so off the radar, it should be so much more popular than it is... that scene where all the people in the station start waltzing is one of the most beautiful, magical scenes in movie history IMO ✨️ 😍 ❤️
I agree 100%. Fantastic movie with every emotion! We loved it so much 😊
One of my top 5 movies. So miss Robin Williams
@@susanelkins3068Us too! He was one in a million 😢
Totally agree. Another one I'd love to see more do: "In the Name of the Father"
Never heard of that one but we'll add it to the list 😊
Glad someone's shedding light on this forgotten masterpiece. Other great ones by Terry Gilliam: Time Bandits, Brazil, 12 Monkeys and Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas.
Thank you for the recommendations. Adding to the list 😊
The adventures of Baron munchausen.
The Red Knight was him remembering wife's brains being splattered into his face, it made a shape like a Red Knight when if splashed into him. So when he remembers that horrific incident, and it comes to him.. it is in the form of a Red Knight (her brain spatter) chasing him. It is PTSD.
Don't worry not a lot of people get this. When you realise this you really get to understand the brilliance of the movie and the different levels it works on.
Also, the Lydia character is a female version of Edwin who killed his wife (a lonely isolated, lonely messed up person etc) , who he comes to not only forgive but. love.
This movie is a masterpiece.
It’s one of my favorite movies!!!!!!!!
I really love Michael jeters (Sp) the song and dance was epic!!!!!!!!
The red guy on horseback was like her head exploding.
The head exploding, ah okay now makes more sense!
I just watched this again a few weeks ago. Got fed up with Netflix so I’m working my way through my hundreds of DVD’s. So glad you enjoyed this as much as I did ❤️
I've loved this movie for decades, and have found it a great way to try to make sense of the trauma in my life. I enjoyed watching this with you and was really impressed with your insights. I hadn't really previously recognized that Jack was the type of person that he was warning Edwin about. This film has been a bit of a meditation for me and appreciate seeing others that "get it". The director Terry Gilliam has made several brilliant films, many with Williams in smaller roles. He's currently making a new one with Jeff Bridges and Johhny Depp, where Bridges' plays God so fed up with humanity he wants to destroy it, and Depp plays the devil trying to save humanity. It just sounds so crazy and bizarre, I'm sure it'll be brilliant. I think you ladies may appreciate another Gilliam film called "Brazil" it shares some of the same themes but in very different ways and also blurs dream and reality.
I think we have Brazil on the list! Can’t wait to watch it :)
This is one of my favorite movies ever! Sadly, you are only the SECOND reaction channel on TH-cam to watch this forgotten gem of a film. More people need to see this fantastic Terry Gilliam masterpiece. Thanks so much for reviewing it!
You're very welcome 😊
One of my favorite films. Saw it out of bordeom not knowing that it was a Terry Gilliam film, back when Netflix first started streaming movies around 2007-2008. Always recommend it.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies. This doesn't speak well of me, I know... But Jack is the character I related to the most, out of every movie I've ever seen in my life. And nobody could have played Perry other than Robin Williams.
You were talking about Robin Williams in a serious role. He absolutely killed it in Good Will Hunting. If you haven't seen that one yet you absolutely have to. One of the best movies ever made.
I absolutely love the many Grail Quest connections here, especially the focus on Parsifal and the Fisher King. Most focus on King Arthur at the expense of the Fisher King.
...And that's where my love ends. This movie is a hard watch for the payoff. I wouldn't recommend this movie except for the hardcore Robin Williams fans.
Fun Fact: Two Percheron circus horses, Lightning and Goliath, performed as the Red Knight's mount. One was used for galloping, and the other for rearing.
Bonus Fact: While it isn't mentioned in the film, Parry's name is short for Parsifal, the "pure fool" and legendary knight of the Holy Grail. Parry brings redemption to Jack Lucas just as Parsifal brings redemption to the Fisher King Amfortas. Also, like Parsifal, Parry does battle with a Red Knight who turns out to be an extension of his own psyche. In still another parallel, Parry experiences a cosmic awakening after kissing Lydia, just as Parsifal experiences a cosmic awakening after kissing the beautiful Kundry.
Bonus Fact: The girl that Jack says might be able to help Parry to find the Holy Grail is named Lydia Sinclair. One of the legends about the grail is that it is buried under Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland which was built by the Sinclair clan. The name Sinclair comes back in several grail myths.
Hopefully this time will stay up?😅 Anything w/ Williams, & equally great Jeff Bridges is worth a watch/putting on a poll! As 4 Williams, "The World According To Garp", & 4 Bridges, John Carpenter's "Starman", 2 of my faves. See ya!✌😎❤
Fingers crossed bc it took forever to get it past copyright! I completely agree both actors are/were fantastic. All polls we have are on Patreon monthly so may put up one with their movies in the next few months 😊
@@fjeresomereactions Will TRY & make u guys my 1st attempt at big tech, debit card interaction!🙄😅 Did look & c what u got goin on & was impressed w/ ur different tier levels. Can't hurt 2 offer top-dollar service, huh? As far as copyright, don't know what u have 2 go thru, & have prob mentioned b4, but should check different reactors cause seems some just flip/mirror image &/or put a faded logo or "copyright" on it & post every time?!...As someone who's had extreme PTSD since a kid n '70's, which took decades 2 realize was my true source of depression, I couldn't afford to feel guilty, so I took a vow instead, & told myself guilt is 2 teach a lesson. Learn the lesson & refuse the guilt! Easier said than done, but n my case works! HAGD!🙏❤❤
Satya, you are the best using those tools to teach. Dani deals with depression so she gets it. We try not to look at other reactors because then we tend to compare or analyze how they are better etc. Thanks also, for taking the big plunge into big tech for us. Stay awesome 😊
The Red Knight prominently appears in the tales of the hero Perceval (Percival) as his early enemy.

For more Terry Gilliam excellence, The Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
Thank you 😊 Adding them!
Rip to a great Comdiean & Actor Robin Williams we still miss you
We sure do! He was one of a kind!
@@fjeresomereactions yes I agree 👍 💯
Thank you for reacting to this great movie. One of my favorite movies of all time. Great acting and script. Loved your reaction and closing comments.
You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed our reaction! It was one of our favorite movies as well :)
Love seeing your reactions to this great movie, ladies
Thank you, Otis :)
@@fjeresomereactions you're welcome 🤗 ladies
A light-hearted but serious movie with Robin Williams is, Jack. Funny but touching and another one of his unique acting performances.
You were thinking of Open Range when you were talking about Michael Jeter working the stables.
Thank you, Temp Sitch yes, Open Range that was it 😊 Michael Jeter- great actor!
@@fjeresomereactions Great reaction and review, btw. Moving movie with a lot of layers.
Thank you for your reaction. This is my favourite movie
You're welcome. Fantastic movie 😊
Great to see this amazing movie getting a reaction.. I watched this movie many times back in the day, it had a huge impression on me. Great reactions and follow ups.
Thank you, Dave Bryce🙂
One of my favourite films, really happy you enjoyed it!!!!
❤
A beautiful, sadly forgotten movie. This should be as epic as the Shakespearean greats. An utterly beautiful and horrible tragedy.
100% agree and everyone needs to see it at least once!
Mercedes Ruehl won an Oscar for this film
Much deserved!
Great film
Another Robin Williams great!
Your stock went up with this film choice 👍
Great
I’m pretty sure Jack got fired the instant the news hit!!!
Most likely!
I was under the impression that Jack quit out of guilt for inspiring the maniac to kill people.
I'm looking through the window, buddy, you got a problem with that? I'm looking through the f#$^ng window!
Some good ones coming in the week?
LOTR Two Towers comes out later today and some other good ones this next week as well 😊
how can I request
You can add your request to the comments or Patreon if want a guaranteed movie each month 😊
I was with this film until the out of shape guy scaled a building with just a rope, that's when it lost me.
Lol. He was out of breathe when Perry had him running around Central Park so yeah 😂
