The director Toby wanted to shoot Don Quixote vs. Windmill. He was dissatisfied no matter how he filmed it. He always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that his mind didn't seem to be on this very much. He was fooling around with the studio staff and the boss’s lover, which seemed cynical. The executive director and the producer were very anxious, urging him to finish the filming as soon as possible. Those who like to film or not, just stop working, and get a lot of trouble every day. The boss asks someone to find him the graduation work that he shot in his youth. It was the first time he took Don Quixote, and he slowly fell into his memories...
The next day, he rode a motorcycle to the village where he was filming. Reality and memory overlapped like dreams from time to time: he was pleasantly surprised to find the face suitable for Don Quixote-an old shoemaker, Unexpectedly, the old shoemaker really played Don Quixote; he also found Angelica, the daughter of the local tavern owner, who played Don Quixote’s dream lover Darsinia-dreamlike with braces. The innocent girl of, happened to be very appropriate and in line with the role setting in his mind; at that time, he had ideals, vision and drive, and shot his ideal Don Quixote, the film also won the award... but he did not expect him to leave Later, they changed these two people forever. The old shoemaker was no longer a shoemaker, and felt that he was the real Don Quixote. The villagers thought that the old shoemaker was crazy; Angelica imagined that she could really be a star, but she became a celebrity. Once the desire is provoked, it can no longer be stopped after the mistress of others.
In fact, he has been changed a long time ago, he no longer has inspiration, and he doesn't want to make a movie he really wants to make. He just mixes in the circle. Now filming, everything has to listen to the father of the gold master, the film satirizes this a lot, as if to vent. Jinzhu's father asked his producer to plan a luxurious masquerade. The old shoemaker and Angelika were humiliated to the extreme, and the old shoemaker accidentally fell to his death.
After Toby and the old shoemaker reunited, the old shoemaker always regarded him as Sancho-one scene was like an early silent film. Toby went to the caravan to find the old shoemaker. On the back of the cloth was his previous graduation work. The old shoemaker was in Dubbing himself on the spot-in fact, he is not completely crazy. I think the old shoemaker and Angelica are escaping from the mediocre, monotonous, rigid and hopeless life, and want to live in dreams...because of Toby, they All became some kind of victim, stimulated by this, now it's Toby's turn to go crazy, thinking of herself as Don Quixote, and Angelica became his Sancho, following him faithfully forever, she loved him in the first place.
It seems that the film is made up of three stories intermingled together-one is the story of a young and beautiful Cinderella falling in love with a crazy artist; the other is a story of how the most ordinary person fell into madness; and another The story of who killed the crazy artist. The artist is the "unrealistic and whimsical" Don Quixote. Nietzsche wanted to be a superman and eventually became mad. Mu Xin said that Nietzsche was an artist, not a philosopher.
"Who Killed Don Quixote" seems crazy and absurd, but it is sad and deeply sad. With the classic text of "Don Quixote", it tells a modern fable. It is really inexhaustible Don Quixote. De, who killed him, killed idealism... "Sancho, let them call me crazy. The reason why I can't get their approval is because I am not crazy enough."
