The feeling of watching "Don Juan" is very wonderful. I can't guess the next plot like watching other movies. Instead, the next plot always brings surprises. This is only the same feeling when watching "Big Fish". "Big Fish" is a movie that I watched several years ago. I feel a bit magical, and it is also imaginative. I like it very much. As a good friend of Depp, was director Tim Burton influenced by "Don Juan", so he made the classic "Big Fish"?
The similarity between the protagonists of the two films is that they both love fantasy, imagine life as the perfect world in their minds, and then immerse in it and infect others, so that reality and fantasy are intertwined, and reality becomes more profound and beautiful because of fantasy. ; the only difference is that the protagonist of "Don Juan" thinks he is Don Juan Demarco, while the protagonist of "Big Fish" thinks he is a fish. Either way, both films are alternative interpretations of the philosophical question of who I am, and both are a wonderful insight into how people live.
Don Juan said to the doctor in the film: "There are four propositions about the value of life, what is holy, what is spirit, what is worth living for? What is worth dying for? The answers to these questions are the same: only Love." In fact, this answer is not just as simple as love, this answer requires people to spend a lifetime to find and experience it. As the old doctor in the movie suspects, human life can "follow the flow, be willing to be mediocre, and can't find the flame that lights our way forward", only "beautiful, stable, bright, warm is truly profound", or Like the stories described by Don Juan, which are both true and false, they are full of ups and downs and full of drama. Although they are suspected of paranoia, they permeate the delicate beauty of life, like the glory of summer.
In fact, the old doctor has been under the influence of Don Juan, constantly reflecting on his own life, at the end of the movie, Marlon Brando Marlon Brando (forgive me, at the beginning of the movie I really did not recognize this old doctor is famous Brando), imitating Don Juan's Spanish accent, said: "...My last mental patient, Don Juan, unfortunately suffered from an incurable disease called 'romance', and the worst thing was, This disease is extremely contagious." He called Don Juan's delusional disorder "romantic", and was inspired to begin to cherish his feelings and life more, and finally found the flame that illuminates his life.
"Who am I", this eternal philosophical proposition will always exist, but attitude determines everything. Our attitude towards people and things often determines our words and deeds. If we believe in who we are, we will Gradually become the kind of person you imagined, so it is not a beautiful thing to occasionally live in your own imagination.
I think, although it is an old film from more than ten years ago, the script, director, and the film itself of "Don Juan" are all very good, but the other translations of the Chinese name are a bit scary, passing by, like this fresh and refreshing Eye-catching sketches are really not to be missed! It's best to go and see "Big Fish" again, there will be more to think about.
