"Who ze shit is Kingsley Zissou?"

Loved this movie.

At first I was only mildly entertained and disappointed at how incredibly cliche everything in the fantasy world: The repitition of 3, going against orders while under a semi-trance (the grapes) and causing a near death escape and being told she'd never have a chance to be immortal ever only to be given a second chance, and the whole "chosen one" idea.

But then the ending came.

It all fit into place. These cliche's recurred in the girl's fantasy stories and tehrefore were in her own personal fantasies, it is this point that i think is the strongest evidence FOR it being a made up fantasy, the director showed the escape that stories can give, very similar to the ideas in Terry Gilliam's Brazil.


5/5
