Alright, I love Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando, but this movie gives me such feelings of displeasure that i couldn't even finish watching it. i sat there thinking maybe it would get better because, holy jesus christ, it's johnny depp, but i just had to turn it off. maybe i'm just too much of a cynic and it's not my kind of humor. if i want a heart warming, cinematic experience, i'll stick with Secretary.

i doubt that ur actually a girl... girls don't refer to themselves as "chicks".
...that's me! As for Orlie...... or at least he's that cute! No wait! CUTER!
Well, ms.OrlandoBloom-like totally-RoxmySox, this girl does refer to herself as a chick.
the bums will always lose, mr. lebowski!
I'm a chick.
I just called myself a chick...You're referring to those "feminazis" who say everything is degrading to women.
girls don't refer to themselves as "chicks".
i do...why not??
I totally agree with you. I don't call myself a "chick" because I think I sound cheap and dirty. I feel like a bird too. :P
I like calling myself a lady or girl. Personally I call myself a young lady! :)
It's not classy at all like many I like the finer things in life. One thing that annoys me the most and is not classy are people who eat their food in the living room. It's a living room! Use the table in the kitchen! :P
"If the man, with the power, can't keep it under control...some heads are gonna roll."
Nay, you're not the only one. I don't like it. I thought it was kind of boring, couldn't understand Johnny's accent half the time, and thought it was overly long, even though it probably wasn't. I also hated the ending. Just.. didn't care for it.
:~)
so then does anybody recommend i watch this movie or does it in fact suck and i should forget about it? my goal is to see all of depp's movies, but if it really isn't even worth it i want to know. maybe i should just rent it to check it out?
sharewatch it, people choose to hate what they cant understand.
shareI completely agree with that..when people don't understand things they think that they're bad. Personally, I thought it was a great movie, really cute.
shareI understand it, I just think sex has little to do with true love, so I thought it was shallow.
Everyone is always trying to kill time. Ironically, time kills us first.

It was idealistic, implausible, and inconsistent. I loved it. And for the record, I DO refer to myself as a chick on occasion. Depends what I'm talking about.

I understand it, I just think sex has little to do with true love, so I thought it was shallow.Well, actually, Freud says love is a derived - or sublimated - version of sexuality.
Sex and physical passion have everything to do with true love.
shareI totally recommend this film. I absolutely fell in love with it. But, I'm one of those people who analyzes.. everything so I totally got it. You might want to have a really open mimd when you watch it and just relish in the imagination and power of love and what love means to you.
P.S. I want to see everyone of Johnny's films as well.

I hated this movie to, this is one of the few movies I didn't whatch till the end.
shareFrom a feminist chick who loves this movie - it's a charming story on the surface, thought-provoking if you want to take it deeper. Johnny's inconsistent accent totally fits the mystery of "is he or isn't he?" It's romantic, on every level - first love, mother love, lasting love, plus the romance of choosing what really matters in life and what doesn't. Sex & sensuality DOES have to do with true love - of self and of another. Sex at it's fullest such as the legend, as portrayed in this movie, means everyone is sexy, everyone is beautiful, everyone can be fulfilled - that's why the nurses glow! And look at Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway in the final scene - absolutely romantic, happy and yes, sexy. Great fairy tale!
sharei love the part when johhny is trying to woo the lady at the dinner table and decribes the part of her fingers like departing of a woman's legs.i wouldn't have thought of it
shareWell, ms.OrlandoBloom-like totally-RoxmySox, this girl does refer to herself as a chick.
Sooooooooorrrrrry. What's up with the "Well, ms.OrlandoBloom-like totally-RoxmySox,"??????? Are you inferring i'm a girly girl? Because i'm ANYTHING BUT.
<3I LOVE CONSTANTINE MAROULIS!<3

hey is there anyway you could post the "speech" he makes about the fingers and legs. I can't find the lines anywhere. If so, thanx.
shareOh my, oh my. I think of that scene often! When he kissed her hand right where her fingers meet --- OOOh! I'm swooning!
shareI didn' t hate this movie but didn' t like...
shareAre movies supposed to be about how pretty the actors are? Or what "reality" is? What about art and beauty and truth?
This film is stunningly beautiful. Love *is* the most important thing in life, the only thing that keeps humanity and civilization alive. And reality is always a personal construct--for each and every person individually. We may agree on some aspects of reality, but never everything. Don Juan is the manifestation of his, and by extension, our (or some of our, anyway) dreams. Would that we could all become our dreams.

I agree what you say about love. But there really is only one truth and one reality, no matter how people perceive things. Reality is a one factor and those who seem to perceive reality while they're actually not are not seeing the real reality. It is reality or it isn't. It's just that plain simple. It is no use to complicate this matter.
