I’m so busy that I almost forget about updating my blog. On 06/02/10, I went to my mum’s place for lunch and also for her birthday celebration.
In the afternoon I met up with Ching, and we went to catch the show – The imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in the evening. Prior to the show, we shopped around Somerset new malls and went to TCC for tea.
I presumed Singaporean entertainment is limited to movies. Our main purpose of wanting to watch this movie is due to Johnny Depp, but disappointed as his scenes were very limited and we are confused with too many versions of “Tony”.
The show was about a bet between the devil and Parnassus centuries ago. Parnassus won and he gained immortality but he still aged. Later he fell in love with a young lady thus he trade with the devil. The condition the devil made for regaining his youth is that any child Parnassus fathered will be his when the child turns 16.
Eventually Parnassus did have a child, and they made another bet to see who can win 5 souls first and his daughter’s soul will be spared.
It ended with Parnassus won and his daughter was spared. The main lead was supposed to be played by Heath Ledger but he died one-third of the production, thus Johnny Depp, Colin Farell and Jude Law played different versions of Tony.
Tony was saved by Parnassus’s daughter – Valentina. He was actually a scammer but he faked memory loss and remained with them.
Eventually he was the 5th souls that Parnassus needs to save Valentina. I would say the show was very confusing. If not for Johnny Depp, I wouldn’t watch it in the first place. I managed to understand the plot through Wikipedia. I treat it as a tribute to Heath Ledger….
