In The Fisher King, a disgraced shock-radio DJ (Jeff Bridges) discovers that when you hit rock bottom, you can find revelatory discoveries there. Jack finds another lost soul named Parry (Robin Williams), a reckless homeless man who, in order to cope with a severe trauma, fantasizes that he’s a Knight of the Round Table. While Parry’s obviously broken and needy, his apparent madness provides a vocabulary for courage, healing, and grace — indeed, a path to the true Holy Grail of love for everyone involved.
