Man of La Mancha
Movie • 1972 • Music
ReportIn the sixteenth century, Miguel de Cervantes, poet, playwright, and part-time actor, has been arrested, together with his manservant, by the Spanish Inquisition. They are accused of presenting an entertainment offensive to the Inquisition. Inside the huge dungeon into which they have been cast, the other prisoners gang up on Cervantes and his manservant, and begin a mock trial, with the intention of stealing or burning his possessions. Cervantes wishes to desperately save a manuscript he carries with him and stages, with costumes, makeup, and the participation of the other prisoners, an unusual defense--the story of Don Quixote.

Er, spoilers?
Throughout the movie Aldonza/Dulcinea works at an inn where its custoners repeatedly coerce and touch her. She is later confronted about not giving in to this coercion, assaulted, kidnapped, and then left on the side of a cart trail.

An insane man is mentally tormented. It causes him to be released from his delusions but he dies afterwards. The mob r*pe that takes place also counts as torture.

A prostitute (not calling her a sex worker as she clearly is resigned to it) is surrounded and taunted by lusty men, who call her a little bird, she is taken away by the mob, with no intention of paying her. We see her later in tatters and frustrated at mankind. She says she's been used and cast off and uses the phrase "if you feel that you see me not quite at my virginal best". She doesn't want to hear anything good about herself after the incident.

Aldonza/Dulcinea says that she's not at her virginal best, and says that if a man pays her she'll let him see. Not sure if it's literal or just declaring her prostitute status. She did undergo mob r*pe though. Another woman is in shock in what appears to be a rapid pullout as part of s*x in the haystack, not sure how it's still PG.

We have a very old man after a much younger woman. He says his love for her is non-sexual though. He wants to love her "pure and chaste from afar"

The main character inside the story is delusional. He attacks windmills, and forcibly (don't remember how) takes a shaving basin as a helmet. His mental illness is seen as an embarassment.

Not exactly after the mentally ill character undergoes some kind of tormenting reality thing, he wakes up in a bed where people are surrounding him waiting to see if he's recovered from his delusions. SPOILER He appears to, but then relapses upon his last breath

Controversies surrounding the Spanish Inquisition. It's clear that the people are Catholic. A two women in confession (?) explain their worries about the main character and say they are doing this unselfishly and the preist doesn't buy it and treats them sarcastically. It's implied that the women are trying to help a delusional man because they don't want him to ruin their reputation. The main man says to the leading lady that he sees "heaven when I see thee"

Somewhat due to trauma, but it's not as bad as a tantrum.

SPOILER The main character inside the story gives up his dreams and dies after he's been mentally tormented by someone for selfish reasons. The leading lady does appear to change her life around after the incident, but it still feels unjust. The main character outside the story has to face the Spanish Inquisition after this, and you know his life will be in danger.
