      Is idealism really dead? He never believed

      Perhaps just like Don Quixote himself, he needs to experience endless journeys and adventures to realize his own value. Many directors have done the same. They have paid a lot of hardships in the journey of making movies. The filming journey is not necessarily better than the journey of the 17th century.

      For example, as early as the 1950s, the venerable Orson Wells began to try to photograph the...

      History is a continuous plot

      From "Vice President", "Black Party Members" to "Who Killed Don Quixote", they are all hurting Trump.

      "This Russian wants a continuous plot, just like a kid eating sweets, or Trump."

      This world is a Disneyland. There is a grand masquerade party in the castle. The rich man wears a crown to play the powerful and powerful king, foolishly fools Don Quixote who is too deep into the game, and insults the woman who worships money. The power of life and death. ....

      Don’t forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind, Gilliam’s another fantasy journey

      A movie that has been filmed for twenty-seven years, as a fan of Terry Gilliam, it is easy to be attracted by his fantasy + realism style.

      A well-known director Toby was filming in Spain, and accidentally got a DVD of Don Quixote's graduation film he shot as a student of the film school, and suddenly brought his thoughts back to the time. After revisiting the old place, he unexpectedly discovered that this debut work changed the lives of the actors. What's even more surprising is that...

      Twenty-seven years later, "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" finally came out

      An old manuscript published in "Watching Movies" magazine.

      ——Two startups, five reorganizations, and countless natural and man-made disasters

      The first great director to charge against the novel "Don Quixote" but ended up in a fiasco is actually Orson Wells. It took him twenty years to shoot bit by bit, until the actor died...

      Twenty-seven years of many turns and revisions have made the director's two-hour light and shadow dream of Don Quixote come to fruition. Instead, the dreamer has become a mad knight entangled in fantasy and possessed by nightmares, chasing a windmill-like obsession. He killed Don Quixote and was reborn as Don Quixote. The harm and destruction of movies to people is written into an autobiography with pages that are reversed and indistinguishable from the endless absurdity of the mirror image of...

      The previous translation was "Who Killed Don Quixote", and now this translation is a bit baffling. "One Thousand and One Nights" has talked about "Don Quixote", so I have some understanding of its background. I was a little surprised when I saw that it was a play within a play in the middle, but in the second half I let myself go. If someone is going to go crazy, he is already...

    Shooting process

    After reading Cervantes' "Don Quixote" in 1989, TerryGilliam decided to try an adaptation. The film has the same name as the novel. In 1990, he signed an agreement with Phoenix Films. Sean Connery and Nigel Hawthorne were Don Quixote candidates. Danny DeVito also discussed the role of Sanko Penza. But in the end because the budget was too low, Gilliam withdrew from the project. At that time, the production company tried to replace...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a film about the self-examination, summary and oath of the artistic career. Even if Gilliam still uses his most familiar humorous method and sets the story in his favorite medieval Europe, it will not change the film. What is written is the fact that he is himself. In a sense, the film is Gilliam’s "Eight and a half". In the film, the director who accidentally touched the past during the filming process was forced to start...
