The Author of the book that this is based off family was Jewish and had to convert to Christianity or leave Spain or die. Then he was a soldier in a war and was a prisoner of war. He was a slave for years and after he was freed and returned to Spain from the middle east he got questioned by the Spanish inquisition. He was remembered as crazy. But was he truly or was it what was said to keep him out of trouble with the authorities of his time. The man had a hard life.
@@windyhawthorn7387His family was probably a family of jewish converts who converted some 60 years before his birth (and subsequent catholic baptism). He himself was not a convert. The forced conversions were an atrocity, but I dont think we can simply label him as jewish because of that. The complexities of the situation and time probably created a family with a complex social identity. Both of my spanish grandparents come from families of jewish converts, at what point do you think my ancestors made the switch between being jewish and the devout catholics they now are? You may claim him as a figure in the jewish tradition, but I think to label him as a jewish man ignores the nuance.
The best thing about the first part is that, as you already know the history of your literature and Spanish classes, you recognize everything he is telling and when he finally turns around, you become his Sancho, because you have been delighted with the charisma and energy of the great Don Quixote de la Mancha!
Great!! The dancing and rhythm of the horse’s performers is outstanding. The great Lord of La Mancha, Don Quixote, is an epic character on the highest dignity of human artistry. Make me a space to accompany you, oh Lord of the dignity and honor!!! The greatest art creativity of the times: Don Quixote de La Mancha!!!
I fell in love with this musical during Spanish class in middle and high school, particular this song. I have had the pleasure of once seeing the play live on stage.
I did too!!! I went to see this play in Manhattan in the 70's with my Spanish Class. I was the only native speaker in the class. It left an impression on me.
@@lindasmith3087 , it came to town about 30 miles from my home town about 20 years ago and I flew to score tickets for myself and my best friend at the time to go. It was quite the cultural evening.
I saw this in theater as a kid. You could just sit in the theater and wait for the next showing so I saw it twice. We had the movie poster in our room cuz one of my siblings worked at the theater.
Back in the days when theaters would have morning or early afternoon showings for "Ladies groups" of not-so-recent films, I got to see this with my second-year Spanish class. This was way before home media so it was the only way you saw a lot of these movies.
You need to watch the full movie! The Man of la Mancha. There are so many lessons in it: courage, faith, idealism, the worth of souls... truly, it is one of the handfuls of movies I think society, especially boys, need right now. I saw it as a kid and enjoyed the music but missed half the meaning; as an adult, this hits like a freight train.
FrankATracy I saw this film last year in November on TCM and by the end I was crying! It is a magnificent film and criminally underrated and as a 24 year old I hope more and more people discover this gem and enjoy it as well!!
James Moyner I saw this film for the first time when I was 11 or 12 back when it came out in 1972. I wanted to see it so badly that I watched it in the theater by myself. Later I spent my first coin collection to buy the album. Then later in my 30's I saw it as play. I can't get enough of it! I plan on buying a metal figurine on eBay of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza at some point. Glad the the movie had an impact on you. It has on me as well.
FrankATracy Oh you will want to buy this as well. Shout Factory released the film to blu-ray and it is 23.99. If you are interested here is a link to it: www.shoutfactory.com/product/man-of-la-mancha?product_id=4984
FrankATracy That is both sad and cool that you were the only one to see it. Also I had a theater experience like that last month where I was the only person in the theater to see Laika’s new animated film “Missing Link”. It was a really good film and it makes me mad when original films like that do not do well. Similar to last years film by Drew Goddard “Bad Times at the El Royale” I hope it will gain a cult following and studied in film classes!
James Moyner I’m sorry, I meant that none of my family or friends watched it with me. There were others in the theater, though I don’t remember how many. I can’t imagine being the only one in a theatre. You had quite an experience there!
I'm so excited to see this in May my local community theater is performing this and I have been dying to see this it is going to be amazing and onword to glory we go
Am I imagining it, or is James Coco singing his own part for real? I found out from another source that although someone else's voice was dubbed over Peter O'Toole's singing voice, James Coco's singing voice was actually used for the movie. Color me impressed!
@@one.l1ner Because as much as people love Man of La Mancha, it's not accurate to the true Don Quixote stories. In the books which inspired the musical, Don Quixote was more of a "lunatic" that caused more problems than he solved. The stories of Don Quixote were a satire of the original stories of chivalrous knights that were popular during de Cervantes's time.

I will impersonate a man. His name... Alonso Quijana. A country gentleman, no longer young. Being retired, he has much time for books. He studies them from morn till night... and often through the night till morn again. And all he reads oppresses him... fills him with indignation... at man's murderous ways towards man. He ponders the problem... how to make better a world... where evil brings profit and virtue none at all. Where fraud, deceit, and malice... are mingled with truth and sincerity. He broods and broods and broods and broods... and broods and finally his brains dry up. He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity... and conceives the strangest project ever imagined... to become a knight-errant, and sally forth... to roam the world in search of adventures... to right all wrongs, to mount a crusade... to raise up the weak and those in need. He persuades his neighbor, one Sancho Panza... a country laborer and an honest man... if the poorer may be called honest... and he was poor, indeed, to become his squire. He selects an ancient cart horse called Rosinante... to become his steed... and the safeguard of his master's will. These preparations made, he seizes his lance. No longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana... but a dauntless knight... known as Don Quixote de La Mancha!

@Coral Roper Well, one of them is a horse. But I still like your comment. If only that could happen in real life

my favorite
Novel of Cervantes is a basic forever, and this film(musical) with P. O'Toole and the other actors is great, unforgotten.
I saw the play and movie I can identify with this movie
I would love to watch this movie again but I’m not sure how I would. It’s nice some scenes are on TH-cam
The really funny thing to me is Cervantes would hate this shit

I will impersonate a man.
His name... Alonso Quijana.
A country gentleman, no longer young.
Being retired, he has much time for books.
He studies them from morn till night...
and often through the night till morn again.
And all he reads oppresses him...
fills him with indignation...
at man's murderous ways towards man.
He ponders the problem... how to make better a world...
where evil brings profit and virtue none at all.
Where fraud, deceit, and malice...
are mingled with truth and sincerity.
He broods and broods and broods and broods...
and broods and finally his brains dry up.
He lays down the melancholy burden of sanity...
and conceives the strangest project ever imagined...
to become a knight-errant, and sally forth...
to roam the world in search of adventures...
to right all wrongs, to mount a crusade...
to raise up the weak and those in need.
He persuades his neighbor, one Sancho Panza...
a country laborer and an honest man...
if the poorer may be called honest...
and he was poor, indeed, to become his squire.
He selects an ancient cart horse called Rosinante...
to become his steed...
and the safeguard of his master's will.
These preparations made, he seizes his lance.
No longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana...
but a dauntless knight...
known as Don Quixote de La Mancha!
