The Adventures of Baron Munchausen	comment	Terry Gilliam's fourth solo directorial effort, from 1988 (though it didn't get released in the US and UK until a few months later in '89). Based on 1785 novel The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, it's a paean to whimsy and the irrational, and how stories are more important than "what really happened" and rationality.It is the Age of Reason, and there's a war on. Somewhere Austria-y is at war with The Grand Turk. In a city on the border of this war, a rag-tag theatre company is staging a dramatic retelling of the life of famous Tall Tale teller Baron Munchausen.The play is interrupted by the real Baron, who describes what really happened to cause this war — namely, the Turks are after him. The Baron has come to the city to die, but is convinced by Sally Salt (the head of the theatre company's daughter) to instead save the city from the onslaught of The Grand Turk, as well as the forces of reason and mediocrity. Wackiness ensues.The film is something of a Mind Screw, as the viewer is never really sure if what's happening is really happening — and whether or not that really matters. Due to a Troubled Production and a regime change at Columbia Pictures that discouraged giving it proper treatment, it was a notorious flop at the time. (The combined losses for this and Ishtar are what caused Columbia to merge with TriStar.) However, the film was a critical success and is still remembered as the final film in Gilliam's classic "Dreamer Trilogy", along with Time Bandits and Brazil.Earned an Academy Award nomination for Visual Effects, but had the bad luck of being nominated the same year as The Abyss.The film is sometimes considered a flop because it went wildly over budget and didn't make a profit, but part of the reason for that seems to be that the distributors had a change of management; as usual in such circumstances, the new guys had no faith in their predecessors' product and tried to bury it with poor marketing and few screenings.Compare MÃ¼nchhausen, a more faithful take on the source material made in Nazi Germany in 1943.

The town's Right Ordinary Horatio Jackson tries to negotiate with the Turks to bring an end to the chaos, but he himself is a cynical monster who orders one of his heroic soldiers dead for being "too brave" because it'd demoralize the others that aren't as good as him. The high-fantasy places the Baron takes Sally to are also populated by monsters and dangerous crazies.

The Baron, Sally, and Berthold are climbing down a rope from the moon to the earth. They find that the rope is too short and will leave them far too high above the earth; but the Baron produces more rope and instructs Berthold to tie it to the end so they can continue climbing down. And where did the additional rope come from? The Baron cut it from the top of the rope on which they were already climbing. They don't start to fall until Sally thinks about that for a bit.note To be fair, the Baron says he spliced the rope from near the top, but leaving in a tiny thin strand wasn't a great idea, either.

Exceptâ€¦ suddenly we cut back to the theater of the beginning, where the Baron has apparently been telling the whole story (from which point exactly it was the Baron's narration is unclear, since the theater crew was featured in the story, somehow). That would be pretty confusing on its own, but afterwards, when the crowd opens the gates of the city, they find the remains of the battle that was allegedly only a fiction of the Baron at this point. Except since the theater crew was involved in the story and yet doesn't seem to remember it since they don't believe the Baron until he shows them what lies outside the gate, it can't just be that the story was entirely true all along. To boot, the Baron then rides off into the distance, bows, and disappears. Don't ask.

He had found his tokaji bottle average and offered to get him a better tasting one within an hour, if he failed, the Baron would've allowed the Turk to cut his head. The Sultan accepted and decided to raise the stakes on his part by promising the Baron to take all the riches his strongest man can carry had he won. Berthold was sent to Vienna to take a bottle from Empress Catherine's court and almost came late for falling asleep near Belgrade. The Sultan respected the promise and opened the treasury for the Baron, but was horribly offended by Albrecht being able to carry everything he had.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen / int_eb81c601	comment	Big Damn Heroes: The Baron and his crew may be old and decrepit and far removed from their glory days; but when they stand alone against the Sultan's entire army at the end, they do not disappoint.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen / int_eea93c96	comment	Blow You Away: Gustavus possesses wind-related powers, such the ability to judge wind speed by merely listening, and being able to literally blow powerful gales.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen / int_eea96e78	comment	Swallowed Whole: The Baron and Sally get eaten by a gigantic Sea Monster, only to find a functioning inn, and a few of the Baron's old friends! And his horse, somehow.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen / int_f7fd8809	comment	I See Them, Too: Sally can see the Grim Reaper that wants to take the Baron's life. It gets tragic when she can see through its human doctor disguise and is held back by the adults that don't understand why she's attacking a man trying to help the fallen Baron. Jackson also seems to be able to see the Grim Reaper when it hatches out of a statue, but reacts with Dull Surprise.

(Jackson isn't so forgiving the second time Salt apologizes)

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: The Sultan's harem comes off as Fan Disservice, showing the Sultan to be a Chubby Chaser. This is quite accurate to the period, however. Likewise, the seriousness of the Baron's wager is appropriate for the day, if handled as Comically Serious.
