the HERALD Wednesday October Entertainment Fisher King a vignette of life By DAWN WOOD Herald Special The Fisher King is director Terry Gilliam s newest addition to his repertoire of Holy Grail quest films Gilliam is well known for his Monty Python works but unlike those farces The Fisher King realizes the dep ths of human pain and emotion and realizes the fragility of life Robin Williams is brilliant as Parry a homeless psychotic gone mad from the senseless killing of his wife She was a victim of a random mass shooting at an up town bar when a lunatic opened fire on the crowd before killing himself Prior to the killing Parry was a history teacher with a future Jeff Bndges plays an off the- wall disc jockey Jack Lucas who loses his own identity when his verbal bashing of yuppies is taken seriously by a radio caller Edwin who goes out and guns down people including Parry s wife This factor cements the rela between Parry and Jack It begins following Parry rescue of Jack from young punks and his planned suicide This is three years after the shooting when Jack and Parry meet in Central Park Both men in the woods have metaphorically lost their paths and their identities However in this drama Parry is pychotic with delusions of knights quests and the Holy Grail and Jack is a drunk trying to cope with the guilt over the tragedy of human losses that he feels responsible for The movie goes on to address the question of reality Parry is haunted by his wife killing When he gets close to remember the experience of her death and his real identity he loses his present grasp and slips further into his fictitious character Parry believes that he will be released from his pain when Jack brings him the Holy Grail cup He is convinced that it sits on the mantle of a Manhattan fat cat castle Surprisingly there is a cup there that Jack gets for him that seems to help bring Parry around There is another important dimension to the movie that shows how suffering can be over come by the power of love Mercedes Ruehl is Anne Jack s significant other Through her love and devotion to him he finds his way out of the woods Likewise Parry rediscovers Love through the tenderness of Amanda and from her caring he is given another chance Despite the absolute horror of Parry s personal losses there are moments of comic relief that help balance the emotional roller coaster ride this vignette of life By BARB DUNLEAVY The first thing most people think about when they hear about a musical production is quite naturally the music My Lady is certainly one of the all
