Gulliver's Travels (1995)
Movie Review by The Gravedigger
01.24.04

Gulliver's Travels (1995) Although I'll always think of Ted Danson as SAM on CHEERS-he does a surprisingly good job as Dr. Lemuel Gulliver in this four hour mini-series.After a six year absence he returns home to his wife and son with an incredible story. He tells of being shipwrecked on the island of the lilliputians, an island of people only six inches tall, where he seems to be a giant. They are at war with each other over an extremely stupid disagreement and he tries to set it right. He eventually escapes after they try to kill him-and washes ashore to an island where he is the little person and everyone else is a giant. He's cared for by a young girl, who falls in love with him.He then goes from this island to a floating island run by intellectuals-and then to a place where horses are intelligent and the humans, called Yahoos, act like the animals.His telling the stories merges with his present reality, which really makes him seem like he's crazy to his wife, son and the doctor who now owns his house and medical practice. In fact, he's sent to the mental institution, where he tells the majority of these stories. It all ends with a courtroom scene in which it's determined if he's a sane man or not-and if the stories he was telling are true.The gist of the movie is how people act-wanting to have power over each other, how violent they are, how greedy, petty and how they lie. It's a man's journey finding out what's truly important in life-and what isn't. He went on a ship looking for adventure-and discovered all these things about himself that he didn't like. In fact, on the last adventure he wanted to stay with the intelligent horses and reject his humanity-but they thought he was too much like the primitive Yahoos and so told him he had to leave. He very reluctantly returned to his own world-but ultimately decides to stay with his wife and son, though he is a very different man.
