I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Absolutely Fantastic

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

In many ways, "The Fisher King" is like the later film "Reign Over Me", though they're different enough I recommend you see them both. Each is about a man who loses contact with reality after experiencing the tragic loss of their family...and another man's attempt to help.When the story begins, Jack (Jeff Bridges) is a radio shock-jock...much like Howard Stern. However, after he makes an offhanded comment on the radio one day, a man goes on a murderous rampage based on the comment!! Naturally, Jack is a mess and his career disappears. Several years pass and he meets a guy who is extremely delusional (Robin Williams). It turns out the man snapped after his wife was murdered...by the same maniac at the beginning of the film! So, Jack makes it his life's mission to help the guy and help him re-establish contact with the real world. This is a pleasant film with a few odd surreal moments. This could easily turn off some viewers, but I found I was able to still enjoy the story. Plus, compared to director Terry Gilliam's other films, this one is downright normal! Worth seeing.

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this film. It's one of those films if you walk into a room and it's on you have to sit down and watch the rest of it. I love this film. I love the actors too, they're some of my favourites, Jeff Bridges, Robin Williams, Mercedes Ruehl, Amanda Plummer; all brilliant. Magical. It is sad but in the end uplifting and very very funny.

The Fisherking At school we watched a movie in class. It was the movie "The Fisherking". It is a movie about jack who becomes very good friends with an sort of homeless guy parry. Jack feels guilty for the lost of parry wife. And to feel less guilty jack helps parry in his search for the holy grail. The Fisherking is a movie based on the story of the knight parzival. It is a part of the parzival story brought in a nowadays jacket. In the beginning of the movie I thought it was a little bit slow and boring but a little later in the movie it became very nice and not boring at all. The role of jack is played by Jeff Bridges. The role of Parry is played by the great actor Robin Williams, who sadly past away in 2014. Robin Williams plays the roll of parry perfect. In the movie he really becomes parry. But also Jeff bridges plays the role of jack very good. The Fisherking is a mix of drama with also a lot of humor. It is a very good movie with a real strong and good story. I highly recommend this movie. That's why my rating for this movie is an 8 out of 10.

Jack Lucas (Jeff Bridges) is an arrogant selfish call-in radio DJ. His rant against yuppies causes a madman to commit a mass shooting in a hip NYC bar. Three years later, he's a drunken mess working at a video store with his girlfriend Anne Napolitano (Mercedes Ruehl). Jack is attacked by a couple of young punks and he's rescued by Parry (Robin Williams) and his group. Parry sees himself as a knight on a quest for the Holy Grail and hounded by an imaginary Red Knight. He thinks that Jack is the one to find the Grail so that he could win the heart of Lydia Sinclair (Amanda Plummer). Jack finds out that Parry is actually college Professor Henry Sagan and his wife was killed in the bar by that madman. There is a lot of crazy acting from everybody especially from Robin Williams. It's a little touching. It's a little surreal. It's a stumbling affair with fits and starts. It meanders a bit and I wish it's more of a quest movie. It's cute sometimes like the date. At other times, I can't wait for the movie to pick up the pace.
