作為希斯·萊杰的遺作，其緬懷與紀(jì)念的價值似乎遠遠超出了這部《帕那索斯博士的奇幻秀》電影的本身。影壇奇才所散發(fā)出來的光芒和魅力，連上帝都為之妒忌。以至于還沒來得及完成這最后的作品，就被卑劣地早早帶走了。為此，這部影片希斯·萊杰的真正烙印也就不那么純了，而很大程度上是透露著他與朋友們之間的深厚友誼，讓人感動，也讓人心碎。約翰尼·德普、裘德·洛、柯林·法瑞爾，無一不是最耀眼的星星，理論上來說，更像是明星堆砌的眼花繚亂的城堡。但是在觀眾的潛意識里，這只是一場希斯·萊杰本人的假面舞會，正如《黑暗騎士》中的小丑，往往隱藏在面具之下，而他那睿智深邃的思維與靈魂永遠都不會消散。

帕那索斯博士與魔鬼做了個長生不老的交易，但代價就是要將自己的孩子在十六歲那年交給他。以賭博為樂的魔鬼并不急于奪其所愛，而是給了一個機會讓帕納索斯博士選擇，看誰先引誘到五個靈魂。就在博士一籌莫展的時候，希斯·萊杰所飾演的托尼出現(xiàn)了。緊接著，上演了一場救贖與被救贖，善與惡，生與死，罪與罰的較量。而一切的一切，都是因為這該死的選擇！

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a 2009 fantasy film which will be upcoming in China directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Charles McKeown. The film follows a traveling theater troupe whose leader, having made a bet with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations and present them with a choice between self-fulfilling enlightenment or gratifying ignorance.?Heath Ledger, Christopher Plummer, Andrew Garfield, Lily Cole, and Tom Waits star in the film, though Ledger's death one-third of the way through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger's role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portraying transformations of Ledger's character as he travels through a dream world.?The film made its world premiere during the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, out of competition. The UK release of the film was scheduled for 6 June 2009 but was pushed back to 16 October 2009 due to its successful premiere at Cannes. The film was given a limited release in the US on Christmas Day 2009 and a nationwide expansion on 8 January 2010.?The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was nominated for two Academy Awards in the categories Best Art Direction (art directed by Dave Warren and Anastasia Masaro, and set decorated by Caroline Smith; lost to Avatar) and Best Costume Design (costumes designed by Monique Prudhomme; lost to The Young Victoria).

小編點評： 本片的導(dǎo)演特瑞·吉列姆，可以說是位個人意識極強的怪才。在他的電影里，總喜歡將時間與空間雜糅到一塊。原本是平行的，偶爾卻會相交；交錯連連的，他又能將脈絡(luò)分離開來。
