Don Juan is not absurd

It's been a long time since I saw such a hypocritical and romantic film, I really like it!
The opposite of truth is not deceit, but poetry.

The reality that most people agree with is ridiculed in the film as incompetent. It turns out that everyone can be a lover, but reality turns the lover into impotence.

Everyone loves Don Juan. Love is a kind of belief and superstition. If everyone uses a steelyard to measure it realistically, it is estimated that love will never be able to match bread.

This film is a fairy tale, and real people will definitely clamor, they are all poisoned by romance and love disease.

Since life will die, it is better to die by poetry than by reality.

The question is, can someone really make you see him as if you see the child in the future? A poetic life can't be accomplished by one person, even Don Juan needs an Anna.

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?
