There is no director I despise more than Terry Gilliam... no matter what he makes. I am always at odds with his thinking and movie making and DOCTOR PARNASSUS is no exception. As usual, he simply seems to throw anything and everything in the film whether it makes sense or not. Talk about capitalizing on Heath Ledger's great success before his death during production. What ensues with the three actors to finish the project is loathsome beyond contempt. The production should have been stopped in respect for Heath as quite a bit of filming still had to be done. The sound, the script and most of the acting is quite bad in this movie not to mention the useless, so-called direction. Most did not understand the film though they tried to make some sense of it. I think of it as yet another PERVERTED STORY LINE from the despicable GILLIAM! I will never see another of his films. There is not one I have enjoyed. He is a director who is EVASIVE and deliberately tries to make things as complicated and convoluted as possible. The movie was somewhat tolerable during the HEATH scenes as I admired him so much; he was so talented and had this way of giving a decent performance even with a lousy scenario and director. Will always love you Heath. R. I. P. +
