This is a very interesting film about a charming man who fantasizes about himself as Don Juan who is locked up in a psychiatric hospital for treatment, and during his ten days of treatment, he uses his poetic words to tell his doctor Sheng Jack shared a romantic experience in his life.
This is a man who can fascinate all women. He wears a 19th century costume and a mask, and he calls himself the best lover in the world. He seems to be born for love, women like him because he knows how to see the beauty of women, he regards women as treasures, and of course women fall for him. He is like a natural love mad, living in his own romantic hopeless world, and also infecting all the people around him. In the hospital, he not only fascinated the entire hospital's nurses, but even his doctor Jack was addicted to his story, and then reflected on his life and love when he was over 500 years old. He wandered between Don Juan's world and reality, and he was even more willing to believe that Don Juan's way of life was the value of life. He began to date, play games, talk with his wife, and enjoy love and life. The day before he retired, he asked his wife: "I want to know everything about you, all the hopes and dreams you lost for me when I was only concerned with my own affairs." This is really a touching sentence, Don Juan's world tells us when we forget how to love.
At the end of the film, Jack takes Don Juan to the island in his story, and we see Anna in his story running towards him. Who cares about the authenticity of such a fantastic ending? From the beginning we wondered if Don Juan was a lunatic, but in the end we fell with him. It doesn't matter whether Don Juan's world is real or not, what matters is what kind of life and love we prefer to choose. Buddha said: true and false, false and true, and I have always believed and liked the neverland-like life described by Don Juan, just like Jack said, his romance infected everyone.
Next, let's HC look at the actors, hoo hoo! The two male protagonists of this film, a handsome old man Marlon Brando, and a handsome young man Johnny Depp, are simply a dream combination. Needless to say, Marlon Brando is old, but his temperament is still there, and Depp is really suitable for this role. He has a secret decadent temperament, and his sharp eyes are persistent and restrained, which is intriguing. In this film, his style is also changeable, and the appearance of a man dressed as a woman is really amazing!

Don Juan DeMarco quotes

  • Don Juan: There are only four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same: only love.

  • Don Juan: By seeing beyond what is visible to the eye. Now there are those, of course, who do not share my perceptions, it's true. When I say that all my woman are dazzling beauties, they object. The nose of this one is too large; the-the hips of another, they are too wide; perhaps the breasts of a third, they are too small. But I see these women for how they truly are... glorious, radiant, spectacular, and perfect, because, I am not limited by my eyesight. Women react to me the way that they do, Don Octavio, because they sense that I search out the beauty that dwells within until it overwhelms everything else. And then they cannot avoid their desire, to release that beauty and envelope me in it. So, to answer your question, I see as clear as day that this great edifice in which we find ourselves is your villa. It is your home. And as for you, Don Octavio DeFlores, you are a great lover like myself, even though you may have lost your way and your accent. Shall I continue?
