@jabis1337 nah.. I never meant it as a critique comment.. it was just a comment, as in I reallly wish I was ok with it: but the way she says it is just like chalk on a blackboard (slightlY), to me... unfortunately.
lol. And I eat Bran Flakes every morning thank you very much :P.
it's such a pity she sings the Dulcinea wrong, - american pronounced - she pronounces "a" instead of "u" which takes the whole flair out of it, the name coming from Latin dulce- sweet
sophia loren is one of the most beautiful woman ever.this sence give you hope for this country, were down a little now but wait will be back stronger than ever a free dream will never die.
To answer your question Anikinkid, Cervantes actually wrote two books on this, the part you are referring to is the sequel. The first part is a much more cheerful version as you see here. Cervantes wrote most of the first book, and then faced the inquisition, after that, he managed to make it out alive, and published his book, which was then later combined into just 'one book' the latter of the two is a much more darker book, by far.
It's also where the movie Drastically deviates from the book. The book has him die in the most un-heroic way. He just "gave up the ghost" and died. But before he died he proclaimed his extreme hatred of all knights errant and calls himself by his "sane" name of Allonzo Quijana.
it is clear that the priests have won their battle and returned him to his sanity.
Now tell me, after 800+ pages of having DQ remake himself as a knight, why would cervantes end it like this?
Because he found the 'Tales of Chivalry' to be intolerable - repetitious prose with entirely unrealistic affairs (trumpets that cause mens' heads to explode, castles sailing on the ocean, etc.) and in writing Don Quixote sought to make the Spanish language more poetic, succinct, and effective by advancing his own literary claim.
@ASmilingMan I hope you speak in jest sir. Have you ever read his poetry? To say the least I would argue that it takes a very good writer to write such bad poetry :P
No sir, given how fiercely he defends his first novel by mocking the false Quixote and the false author in his second novel, I could only say that Cervantes ends his work with nothing but the highest praise of knights errant.
A good question to ask is who is the real villain here? what causes DQ's death? what makes DQ sane?
You can get "Man of La Mancha " on DVD for VERY little money. I think I bought my copy for less than $10. It seems great musicals are of little value nowadays . . .
I have seen this movie/scene thousands of time...and I still don't like how she pronounces "remember".... *Sigh* oh well...

Such a great cast and this movie looks like the director didn't even try. It just sits there.

This is a great musical film.
In this scene I cried many times.
Don Quijote gave me his impossible dream.
It's mine now.

I saw this movie over 35 yrs ago at a theatre...I think we must see those films on a screen, not on a TV-panel^^...but impossible nowadays!
Thanks!

I was lucky enough to see it on the big screen while in college. That was almost thirty years ago --- maybe just one or two years shigh. ;)
