A Fantasy to end all Fantasies

The Adventures of The Baron of Munchausen (1988)
Dir/ screen writer Terry Gilliam, 
Cast: Sarah Polley, Eric Idle, Robin Williams, Robin Williams, Uma Thurman, Oliver Reed & The Legend: John Neville. 


This is a movie I watched constantly on occasion when I was younger, and I havent forgotten 


one scene. HOWEVER- I don't remember it being so layered and encrypted with political, 
cultural and sexual messages- But what 6 year old would?
So that does make this one of those moments for me. Like the moment you realize that 
everyone who made Alice in Wonderland actually was likely on acid.
Regardless, this is a movie i recommend you own. It's incredibly creative, romantic and at times
dark. Just to give you an example of what "adventures" mean in this film, The first trip the Baron
(re-takes) is to the moon, on a ship turned into a hot air balloon by using 10,000 pairs of women's
underwear. (yeah) Once they (the Baron and like...7 year old Sarah Polley) make it through a
storm where they fly by the Grim reaper..they land in water that really is just a puddle on top of the
sandy surface that is the Moon.  Once they get off of said ship, they walk into some kind of circus
castle, where they're greeted by Robin Williams floating head on a platter in victorian head dress, who is playing the King of the Moon...and is trying to get away from his body.


RIGHT.
This sounds like the kind of thing that the crackheads who hang out at the bus terminal mumble to themselves. But this movie has won a few Oscars...a few of the cast ended up being...pretty successful and the Mise en scene and over all quality of the visual effects make it all wonderful to watch.


So watch it, because it's been 21 years and it's still better than most.
