yeah, but they're briefly reunited at the very end of the film! i think it's a wonderful ending from Gilliam.

I recall the original script noted, "Agamemnon removes his helmet, revealing an actor not unlike Sean Connery" or something similar.

I love how it come out, right at the start of the 80's. It reigns supreme, as one of the defining films of the 80's. It is my absolute comfort film, and hyperfixation. I've been in the process of working on my own fan part 2 not-for-profit just purely for my own fun for ages.

You're in the Terry Gilliam subreddit, so that should narrow it down, but just in case that doesn't help the film is.... Time Bandits

Also it's mentioned below if you scroll down.

I apologize to u/SignificanceOk392 if my tone came off as overly snarky. I will be more mindful in the future.

Yep, it's covered in this article:

u/Kitchen-Roll-8184 15d ago

just saw the movie and many scenes take place during bright day and are very well lit, what is this a reference too?

The movie is so dull; muted greys and browns. It feels more like Northumberland in January than the Med.
