More interesting than the plot of "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" is the background story behind him. Preparations for this film started in 1998, and it has been 20 years now. The main problem is the lack of funds. It has also encountered some natural and man-made disasters. For example, it was hit by floods in the early stage of filming, and all the things that were filmed were destroyed. One torch. The problems encountered afterwards involved a series of issues such as copyright and distributors. The male lead was replaced by Adam Driver from Jonny Depp. At the beginning of 2017, the film officially began to be remade.
Directors will spit out Marvel movies from time to time during interviews and always have a big investment, but their investment is pitifully small.
Terry Gilliam shows the whole part of the crazy spirit to the fullest. The combination of reality and fantasy is indistinguishable. For viewers who have not read the original "Don Quixote", this is a fresh experience. At the climax, this tendency reached its peak. Like the male protagonist Toby, we will also get lost in this movie.
This is a tragedy, and the taste becomes stronger as it goes on, so I don’t know whether mainland China can introduce the film. For the novel Don Quixote, this movie is a re-creation of the novel version. Although we can feel the director’s madness, looking back, the plot processing in the front will be a bit incoherent. The tone of the movie has been advancing in this mystery. Before the third act, it is difficult to find out what its main line is. .
Another problem is the same as in "Death of Stalin" and "COCO", that is, it is always strange to have a Spanish thing in English. It feels like a group of British people are performing "Journey to the West". Therefore, although we continue to complain about the dubbing of our own country, on the one hand, it can make us pay more attention to the picture, and on the other hand, it is very suitable for the relatively low-level group of children, such as children, when it is not so peaceful.
But fortunately, this movie was made anyway. Terry Gilliam is like Don Quixote in the third act inside, bravely insisting on himself under the ridicule of the outside world, but the latter finally became a "tragic hero", I don't know this "Twelve Twelve" Whether the director of "Monkey" can withstand the pressure of foreign media's evaluation, in this already troubled movie, he can achieve the least results obtained in the past ten years of hard work.
