The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Is Messy But Wistfully Thoughtful

Sometimes, myths can become larger than the men they're about and the same is true of certain films, especially when they're films like The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. This Terry Gilliam directorial effort has been through hell and back in its trek to the big screen with numerous difficulties emerging preventing it from becoming a finished film. A version of this project even started filming at the turn of century with Johnny Depp in the lead role before the plug eventually got pulled. For so long, it seemed like this endeavor was doomed to be just a legend of filmmaking gone awry rather than an actual movie. However, in April 2019, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote finally got released to theaters! It's real! It's an actual thing you can watch!

The man was overwhelming in the level of talent he commanded and Terry Gilliam's The Fisher King is a prime example of how this was a guy who could create a bounty of varying emotions in his performances. There's plenty of laughs to be had in Robin Williams acting here, but there's also a tremendous amount of pain here that no other actor could have pulled off like Williams does.
