The Depp character, given 10 days to convince the psychiatrist of his sanity, insists on elaborating his fantasies. We learn that, as Don Juan, he once fought a duel with his own father, over his mother's honor.
And that he was sold into slavery to a sultan, and saved himself by disguising himself as a woman. While imprisoned in the sultan's harem, he made love to every woman there, leading him, in a later scene, to answer a lover's question by telling her that, "including you," he has made love to 1, women - a sum substantially greater than the one she had in mind.
After all the female nurses develop crushes on him, he's assigned a hulking male nurse named Rocco Tiny Lister , and soon has him dancing in the patient's ward. Depp must be one of the few actors who can get away with sincerely speaking lines like: "Women sense that I search out the beauty that dwells within them, until it overwhelms everything else.
And then they cannot avoid their desire to release that beauty, and envelop me in it. Actors often talk about how they'd like to work with Brando.
This kid could teach him some things. Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
Marlon Brando as Jack Mickler. Johnny Depp as Don Juan. Mickler's somewhat passionless relationship with his wife, Marilyn as well as challenging his own views and ethics to the point where both he and the audience begin to question: could this young man truly be Don Juan? The story of the man who thought he was the greatest lover in the world Rated PG for sexual content. Did you know Edit. Trivia According to Johnny Depp in the Turner Classic Movies documentary on Marlon Brando , when he and Brando are sitting at the table talking about the inconsistencies in DeMarco's character, and DeMarco admits his father was from New York, Depp's lines were re-written just before shooting the scene, so he had no time to prepare and memorize the lines.
Brando talked to the director and cinematographer to find out where the cameras angles were. He then worked out a way in which he cut up Depp's lines in the script and pasted them to the cup of coffee in his hand, then held the cup in his hand in such a way that the camera would not pick up the pasted lines, and Depp could read them.
Goofs When the Micklers are in bed playing the game with the popcorn, one kernel of popcorn is shot up in the air off-camera, but two fall: the actual kernel from the up-shot, and an additional one that was aimed at Faye Dunaway's mouth.
User reviews Review. Top review. Every bit as great a performance as in "Pirates". I loved this movie. Within five minutes I was smiling and didn't break stride for the entire performance. Depp is strong in this role and very convincing as the world's greatest lover. Marlon Brando is funny and witty and is well supported by Faye Dunaway in the marital relationship of a couple heading for retirement and the best times of their lives.
Johnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile actors of all time. His performance is true and expressive and I just love his smile. I compare this performance to that of his character of Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean". I have no problem, whatsoever, recommending this movie to everyone. Then there's Brando, who also acts with a lot of quiet feeling here. The film's second main theme is a classic romantic comedy concern: the revitalisation of emotions of rapturous, sexual love among older people.
Brooks, and Shirley Valentine Lewis Gilbert, I get the strong sense that the writer-director of this film, Jeremy Leven this is the only film he has so far directed in a career as novelist and screenwriter , doesn't know an awful lot about older people.
He has Brando say things to Faye Dunaway like: "This is a twelve round gig, and we're only up to round three, baby! Brando is a really touching figure here. I've been surprised, and a bit shocked, at the way so many reviewers have fixated on the spectacle of Brando's physical size. Reviewers who, in many cases, would never make snide jokes about an actor's skin colour or sexual disposition have declared open day on Brando's bulk.
To be fair, the film itself has good-natured jokes about this topic, and it does have a pointed, rather extraordinary moment where Brando gazes upon a photo of himself as a dashing young star. But where Brando often contrived to keep his no-longer trim body away from the camera's harsh gaze in his movies of the '70s, here he gives you himself as he is, utterly relaxed, without apologies. At the start of this story, we hear Don Juan say in voice-over "I am the world's greatest lover.
I have made love to over a thousand women". Near the end, Brando takes over the narration, gives himself a suitably Latin name, and intones: "I am the world's greatest psychiatrist. I have cured over a thousand patients". At this moment of the film you have just got to love him. The third and principal theme of the film is the Don Quixote theme, the theme of a fantasy that is stronger than reality.
