Don Juan DeMarco (1995)

Добре….някой може ли да ми каже, къде точно съм пропуснал този филм? Просто само като чуе човек за Марлон Брандо и Джони Деп, трябва да е сигурен, че филмът е наистина голям.
Ама много!
Наистина на моменти е твърде наивистичен и “захарен”, може би, дори сладникав, но мисля, че точно такъв ми трябваше сега. Всяка една реплика на героите е като излязла изпод претото на Шекспир или Гьоте. Всяка една от тях заслужава цитиране. Не напразно някои от тях са послужили за написването на текста на Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman (ох, написах го!) на Брайън Адамс, която всъщност е и пиронът в саундтрака на Don Juan DeMarco.

“Bill: … why do you think Dr. Mickler is Don Octavio de Flores?
Don Juan: Why do you think Don Octavio is Dr. Mickler?”

Този диалог просто идва твърде рано и носи една от основните идеи на филма. Идея продължена с това:

“I would say that he has a rather limited and uncreative way of looking at the situation. Look, you want to know if I understand that this is a mental hospital? Yes, I understand that, but then how can I say that you are Don Octavio and I am a guest at your villa? Correct? By seeing beyond what is visible to the eye. Now there are those, of course, who do not share my perceptions, it is true. When I say that all my woman are dazzling beauties, they object. The nose of this one is too large; 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 in the way they do, Don Octavio, because they sense that I search out the beauty that lies 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?”

Опитвах се да кажа нещо подобно. С последните ми няколко поста. Не успях. Не и по този начин. Не и с тези думи. Прекрасно е! И накрая изводът че човек вижда не с очите си, а със сърцето си.

И още малко цитати които са просто музика за окото и наслада за ума. Не те нямат рецензия. Просто човек трябва да ги е изживял, за да ги усети и разбере.

“You want Don Juan de Marco, the world’s greatest lover, to talk to you? What do you know of great love? Have you ever loved a woman until milk leaked from her as though she had just given birth to love itself, and now must feed it or burst? Have you ever tasted a woman until she believed that she could be satisfied only by consuming the tongue that had devoured her? Have you ever loved a woman so completely that the sound of your voice in her ear could cause her body to shudder and explode with such intense pleasure that only weeping could bring her full release?”

И разбира се:

“Have you never met a woman who inspires you to love? Until your every sense is filled with her? You inhale her. You taste her. You see your unborn children in her eyes and know that your heart has at last found a home. Your life begins with her, and without her it must surely end.”

Но най вече, един цитат, макар и не хронологически в края който е удивителната на целият филм и неговият апотеоз, а защо не и главно послание. Казано по такъв начин, това е една реплика която не може да бъде просто пренебрегната. Нека и се насладим:

“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.”

А сега нека кажа за собственото си настроение в момента просто следното:

“Sadly, I must report that the last patient I ever treated, the great lover Don Juan DeMarco, suffered from a romanticism which was completely incurable, and even worse, highly contagious.”
