NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The_Depressed_Star_Wars_fan This is a brilliant idea for a documentary. The film follows Terry Gilliam as he attempts to make the move "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote". While doing so everything that could go wrong does. You can actually feel the emotions the filmmakers are going through, especially when things start to go wrong. It actually gets kinda uncomfortable. Throughout the film they are kind enough to show us different story boards, script readings, and clips from this unfinished project. The film they are trying to make seems like it would be kinda interesting. It's just a shame that it was never finished. Time to wrap this review up. In the end this is a great film to watch if you wish to be a film director, and even if you don't it's still and enjoyable film so check it out.

devonblue This is a rather sad story of the making of Don Quixote, the film that was beset by disasters both by the forces of nature and by human error. Everyone put so much effort into this film, but it seems the film was cursed.I have rated it lower than usual as it depressed me to see the faces of those who fought to keep the film alive only to see it fail at every hurdle.Good film within a film of a film, glad to have seen it only to find out how difficult it must be to make cinema for us all.5/10, although I would love to see it remade and completed :)

kkarinski I really felt like Terry Gilliam was just trying to somehow salvage something from his failure to complete "Man of La Mancha". I have no problem with that if the story is a good one and it is told well. This is not. While his travails were many and unusual, to be sure, he used none of his skills to present them in an entertaining way. They were simply presented to us as information, almost. This is unacceptable from someone of his experience and expertise. We can expect more from him. I believe this "failed movie" idea is presented better in "Project: Tomorrow Men" by Clockwork Pictures. While this movie is decidedly amateurish, it is understandably so, since it is the story of a fledgling companies attempts to produce their first feature film. Nevertheless, they do a better job than the years-of-experience Gilliam does with his.

MovieAddict2016 Terry Gilliam's had a controversial career. His "Brazil" in 1985 upset Universal because it had a "sad" ending, so they cut it apart and replaced the finale with a "happier" version. Gilliam hated their hack job of his work, and illegally screened his original version for a critics' circle -- they voted it one of the best films of the year. Soon Gilliam got his way and the film was released as he had originally intended, and it's now considered a classic.A few years later he released "The Adventures of Baron Manchusen," a fantasy flop that went some $20 million over budget and collapsed at the box office. He quit directing for a while and, when he returned, started work on "Twelve Monkeys." It wasn't the best of shoots and his perfectionism resulted in eccentric, intolerable shooting schedules.In 1998 "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" was released and the MPAA hated it, threatening to give it an X rating for its drug content. Released alongside "Godzilla," it flopped, but to this day remains a cult classic.So it's reasonable to say Gilliam is quite an eccentric personality and has had a tumultuous career."The Man Who Killed Don Quixote" was going to be his new film until it crashed. The production was halted because Gilliam couldn't find an actor to play Quixote, flash floods destroyed equipment and one of his shooting locations was in fact a NATO airfield which created quite a problem for the filmmakers.Gilliam's film probably would have been a great twist on the classic tale and I'm sure his eccentric vision would have suited it well. He also had a cameo by Johnny Depp in the movie and it's quite funny as shown in this documentary detailing the events of the production.Gilliam recently said he's going to start production on this again and finish it up. I hope so, it really does look like a promising film.In terms of this documentary itself, it's very insightful and a must-see for any Gilliam fan or aspiring director -- it's entertaining and important, and a great guide on how NOT to make a movie.
