This Don Quixote Movie Guide (NR – 2015) challenges students to explore themes of illusion vs. reality, chivalry, and the power of imagination. Discuss the implications of his actions for himself and those around him, including his faithful squire Sancho and his worried niece Antonia. Analyze the contrasts between Sancho’s practical outlook and Don Quixote’s idealistic pursuits by analyzing quotes from the movie. Debate whether Don Quixote’s quests are purely delusional or if they hold a deeper significance in challenging societal norms and pursuing personal ideals. Should people pursue their dreams no matter how fanciful? Is chivalry dead? Should it be?

To avoid confusion please make sure the version of the video you’d like to use is the same version that the movie guide is meant to supplement. Here is the film’s link on IMDB : )
