While a bit quirky (probably Williams more than anything) it doesn’t have anything really fanciful / interesting.

Someone previously was spot on in saying that it tries to be deep and fails.

god i wish robin wiliams would just get back on coke…SOOO much funnier. he’s as funny on coke as he thinks he is all the time. which is an accomplishment. i mean, how many people have actually been funny on coke? john belushi. chevy chase. chris farley. umm…i cant think of any more right now. so he should consider himself lucky.

This film is not so much about the holy grail,really, it is about human emotions, tragedy and the mind’s struggle to recover from the tragedy. It is also a love story. It is a necessity to see if you are a Jeff Bridges fan, he plays the goodlooking shallow dj, and Robin Williams is brilliant as Perry, the medievalesque street bum trying to escape his madness. My favourite scene is still Perry’s serenade in the chinese restaurant…

Wow! This movie tries to be real deep but it fails. If you want a movie about the Holy Grail watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail again, and avoid this monstrosity!!!!!!

This movie reminded me of a poem that I’ve always liked. I dug it out of storage so I can post it. I bolded the part in particular that makes me think of The Fisher King.

Fugitive
by Francisco X. Alarcon

I’ve had
to bear
the days
anonymously
like a shadow
slip
through the city
without raising
suspicions

I’ve avoided
countless roads
jumped
every fence
always
fleeing
with a haste
that bites
my heels
and barely
lets me
breathe

hiding behind
so many
illusions
for so
many years
that now
I don’t
even know
the face
of my soul
or recall
what brought me
to this fugitive’s life

my crime
must have
been
as huge as
the darkness
found in
my punishment

above all
I’ve sought
the mute
company
of night

I’ve learned
to fake
nearly everything
but
still
when next to you
I’m given away
by the empty
pounding
of my heart
