Don Juan DeMarco Movie Reviews

So Don Juan DeMarco is a romantic comedy. But the "romcom" label fails to do it justice.

Johnny Depp plays a suicidal man who believes he is the greatest lover in the World. He enters an institution and Marlon Brando is the doctor on the brink of retirement who takes on the case. The interaction between these characters is a delight and as their relationship develops it is clear that the doctor is being treated by his patient. As he listens to the stories of romantic conquest from Don Juan the doctor begins to question his own relationship with his long standing and long suffering wife(Faye Dunaway).

So in fact, it is that rarest of movies, a romantic comedy with a little depth. Beneath this light and beautifully acted piece there is some attempt to tell us more about ourselves and our relationships. The pace of the movie is well judged and its slightly serious intent is tempered by plenty of observational comedy. There is plenty to charm here and the excellent cast take the credit.

Naturally it is a great movie to watch as a couple; most romcoms are. But I suspect it has a broader appeal and it could be the type of movie you could watch again and again on DVD. Certainly it is a "feel good" movie and perhaps we need a few more of these at the moment.

Don Juan de Marco-my favourite movie.It is about love, about what women want, the way they want to be touched, to be kissed, the attitude towards women.The main character is Don Juan(Jonny Depp).He tries to kill himself because he cannot live without the love of Donna Anna.After that he goes into a mental hospital and there he tells the story of his life.He tells that he has been with over 1100 women and know what they want.He doesn't talk about sex-he talks about love.He describes how he can touch the soul of every women, how he gives her pleasure.

He wears a mask to hide the shame because his father died fighting for him and his mother.Don Juan was the reason for that because he slept with his teacer(who is very young and beautiful).Her husband undestands and he finds a revenge -blames his mother that she cheats her husband.

It's all a big lie.During the stay in the hospital Don Juan says that he knows that he is in hospital, but is better to believe that he is just a guest at his doctor's home.Don Juan is not a crazy man.He is just a romantic.He wants to look at the bride side.For 2 hours, while you are watching the movie, you forgot about everything else.It's like a dream.And the soundtrack . "Bryan Adams-Have you ever really loves a woman"!Incredible song!Just watch that movie.You won't be sorry!You can watch it alone or with your boyfriend/girlfriend.I don't know which is the best part in the movie:just everything
