Fantasticality

waarom The Imaginarium ons type film is?

onder meer hierom:

it 's about the theme of imagination

and the importance of imagination

to how you live and how you think

and so on... 

that's very much a Terry Gilliam theme

like the idea of storytelling being the thing 

that sustains the universe

Gilliam: 'It's autobiographical. I'm trying 

to bring a bit of fantasticality to London, 

an antidote to modern lives. I loved this 

idea of an ancient travelling show offering 

the kind of storytelling and wonder that we 

used to get to people who are just into 

shoot-em-up action films'...

Gilliam repeatedly said in interviews that 

the character of Parnassus was meant 

autobiographically, a tale of an aging man 

with a vivid imagination in a world that 

doesn't listen any more...
