version "Don Juan
DeMarco", from Tuna
Tuna's comments: Johnny
Web did Don Juan de Marco a month or two ago, and
compared this film to another of my favorites --
They Might Be Giants. Both have as a theme a
delusional patient, and a therapist who ends up
preferring the patients delusions to their own
reality. As I recall, he liked the film a great
deal. I also enjoy this film very much. Warning,
this film is for romantics, and those who don't
necessarily believe that there is only one
reality. If you meet that criteria, don't miss
it.
The film is full of
wonderful detail. At one point, the Psychiatrist
is giving Don Juan an ink blot test. Don Juan
describes in intimate detail how the blot is a
naked woman with spread thighs. The Psychiatrist
looks at the next blot, which is a very clear
silhouette of two women standing nipple to
nipple, and says "lets move on to something
else." This is the first film that I have
seen where there is not a single negative review
on IMDB.
The critics, however,
didn't like it. Maybe that is why they are called
critics rather than reviewers. Most of the
criticism was of Brando's performance as the
overweight, burnt out Psychiatrist. They
criticized him mostly for being overweight, and
not giving the sort of dynamic performance he
gave in earlier films like Last Tango or
Godfather. He was playing the part of an
overweight Psychiatrist who was retiring early
because of terminal burn-out. IMHO, he played it
very well. I guess the critics wanted Brando to
sodomize Don Juan (Johnny Depp) using butter as a
lubricant. Faye Dunaway plays Brando's wife, and
looks very desirable for her age. There was not
much nudity in this PG-13 film. There was a harem
scene with nudity, some nude rear shots of
Ticotin (1 and 2) which are a double, and
see-through from Jo Champa (image 1), Ticotin (5)
and Talisa Soto (5 and 6).
I didn't read the
reviews, but I sure didn't see anything at all
wrong with Brando's performance. I guess you can
criticize it for not being On The Waterfront or
Streetcar, but it was appropriate for the role,
and I never really heard any false notes. In
fact, it was not without some vitality and
energy, despite Brando's bloated appearance. I
just thank God it wasn't Missouri Breaks.
