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 he walked into the movie himself.
Javier, the old shoemaker who plays Don Quixote, firmly believes that he is Don Quixote, and he wants to continue to be a chivalrous man. He also regards Toby as Sancho. Toby thinks he is crazy, but is forced to get involved in this adventure. During the adventure, reality and fantasy are constantly intertwined. Toby gradually realized that he was so shallow, greedy, selfish, and selfish. He had lost his previous pursuit of beauty in art, instead of fame, money, and sensuality. This is not the original him, the real him. The prosperous world has changed, become vulgar, become marketable, become exaggerated.
The main theme of the movie is to not forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind, strengthen the belief, and realize the ideal. Don Quixote’s age of chivalry may have become history, but the spirit of chivalry still exists in the world. In our era, people enjoy the material enjoyment brought about by development, but at the same time they have become spiritually cautious, empty and impoverished, and are increasingly lacking in scoundrels. The chivalrous spirit of supporting the weak and acting bravely. In fact, there are some things in this world that we should maintain, even with our own lives, just like the strong belief that the honor and mission of a medieval knight is higher than life. No matter what environment you are in, you can’t lose your sense of justice and can’t. Against one's conscience, let alone evil forces such as selfishness, greed, temptation, and self-rejection, should not invade the heart. Instead, they should keep their promises, be willing to help others, and strive for ideals and honor.
