    Сast and Crew

    Manga source for “The Fisher King” (1991)

    “The Fisher King” (1991) is not based on any manga. It is an original story written as a screenplay by Richard LaGravenese, not an adaptation of a manga/comic/novel.

    Manga: title, author, publication

      • Manga: none (no official manga source exists)

      • Manga author: none

      • Publication: not applicable

    How closely the film matches the manga

    A fidelity comparison can’t be made because there is no manga the film is based on.

    What can be considered the “source” instead of a manga

      • Myth/literary motifs: Holy Grail and knightly imagery are cultural references, not a specific manga or a specific adapted work.

    Quotes

    I like New York in June. How about you?

    There’s a little too much reality going on around here for my taste.

    I’m a knight on a special quest.

    I’m not insane. I’m just a little confused.

    I’m a janitor of God.

    A person tormented by a sense of his own guilt meets a slightly or very mad person and it turns out that he himself is the indirect cause of his madness, and then they help each other. About the all-conquering power of love, and about the fact that madness is normal, and about New York, and the grail at the end.

    Gilliam’s films are fantasy, not modern fantasy, but more like fairy tales, only for adults. Nice.

    I’m not a grouch, but this movie made me feel bad. The plot is good and understandable, but there is a very strong swing from empathy for the characters to their disgust. Forgive me, my expectations. 6.5 out of 10.
