Don Quixote (2000 TV Movie)
7/10
John Lithgow's performance in this movie
20 August 2000
I wasnt surprised of John Lithgow's brilliant performance in this movie, because just as I heard that he's starring I understood right away that he'd be a perfect Don Quixote. There is a TINY little bit of Dick Solomon in him, if you pay close attention, you might notice it, and I think that's why the directors invited him for this role. Bob Hoskins is also a perfect Sancho, the whole character of his here (as well as Lithgow's) is as it was classically presented to us in books and pictures. Although he has a thick british accent, although he has no problems changing it, he speaks with it through the movie which is kind of unusual for a spanish man. :) Anyway, Mr. Lithgow, if youre reading this, I want you to know that youre the most perfect Don Quixote Ive ever seen on the movie screen!

Everything's great but one small thing
19 June 2000
The movie is great, the effects are too good for a TV movie but of course they could be better professionally speaking, but they are very nice. The script is well written as well.

There's a small problem, the original story of Aladdin... Aladdin is Persian not Chinese. The whole story happened in Persia (Agrabah market and such)not in Bei Jing or wherever. The jeenie here is Chineese, but then when he was done sewing he said "halas" which in arabic means "enough". Now why would a chinese person speak arabic? :)

Think about that. Watch the movie, its really nice.
