Don Juan Demarco Page #7

Synopsis: Well-respected psychiatrist Dr. Jack Mickler is only 10 days away from his retirement. A week before he is due to leave, he encounters a young man who attempts suicide--would be a pretty straightforward case except the young man claims to be Don Juan, the fabled Spanish nobleman and world renowned seducer/lover of woman. Despite original hostility from his co-workers, Jack manages to persuade his associates to put the youth in his care for 10 days after which the youth will undergo an evaluation to be either released from psychiatric care or sent to a mental institution. However, as the 10 days progresses, Dr. Mickler and the other staff become gradually drawn into to the young man's exotic world of love, passion and pleasure as he recounts his story to them. Whilst doing so the man's philosophies and zeal for life and love begins to revive Dr. Mickler's somewhat passionless relationship with his wife, Marilyn as well as challenging his own views and ethics to the point where both he a

...just outside of town.

My mother...

...she'd been having these affairs...

...and my father knew.

Anyway, she felt so guilty...

...she decided to become a nun.

So, within three weeks|of my father's death...

...she was in a convent|somewhere in Mexico.

And there I was.

I didn't know where to go.

I didn't know what to do.

So, one day, I was...

Looking at this magazine...

And there was a centerfold.

And I knew she wouldn't|go for me the way that I was...

...you know, so I...

...I'd been reading a book...

...this book...and...

...I decided to become Don Juan.

So, I called up the magazine.|They wouldn't help me.

They wouldn't give me|any information, so...

I was about to give up, and...

...one day, I reached this woman|who worked there.

I think she was|a temp or something, but...

...the woman took pity on me...

...and she gave me|the girl's number...

...so I called her up.

I said that we were|meant to be together...

...and she called me a creep,|and then she hung up.

I just decided that my life was over...

...so I was going to kill myself...

...or at least I was going|to make people believe...

...that I would kill myself...

...so I could get some|attention or something.

I never really had any|intention of killing myself.

Thank you.|This has been very helpful.

Someone will show you|back to your room now.

Doctors...

...this seems like a perfectly|normal kid to me.

I've had a couple|centerfold fantasies myself...

...and I'm certainly|not going to commit him...

...to a mental institution for his.

Your Honor,|I... I think his behavior...

Let him go.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Judge.

As his doctor,|I concur with your views.

I've spent more time|with him than you have!

I'll call you later,|and thank God for medication.

- Goodbye, Bill.|- Goodbye, sweetie.

- Your Honor, I think the boy...|- He's taking my patient!

Please! Bill! Nurse! Please!

As Head of the hospital,|let me speak.

My name is Don Octavio del Flores.

I am the world's greatest psychiatrist.

I have cured over a thousand patients.

Their faces linger in my memory...

...like summer days...

...but none more so|than Don Juan DeMarco.

And so it was not so insane...

...that we all found ourselves|on an airplane...

...flying to the island of Eros.

It was like the Garden before the fall.

Everything seemed possible.

And how does our fable end?

His Doa Ana, his centerfold...

...was she waiting|all eternity on the beach...

...for him to return|as they had promised each other?

Why not?

Sadly, I must report...

...that the last patient|I ever treated...

...the great lover,|Don Juan DeMarco...

...suffered from a romanticism...

...which was completely incurable...

...and even worse...

...highly contagious.

Lord Byron

George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), known as Lord Byron, was a British nobleman, poet, peer, politician, and leading figure in the Romantic movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential. Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage as well as the short lyric poem "She Walks in Beauty". He travelled extensively across Europe, especially in Italy, where he lived for seven years in the cities of Venice, Ravenna and Pisa. During his stay in Italy he frequently visited his friend and fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. Later in life Byron joined the Greek War of Independence fighting the Ottoman Empire, for which Greeks revere him as a national hero. He died in 1824 at the age of 36 from a fever contracted in Missolonghi. Often described as the most flamboyant and notorious of the major Romantics, Byron was both celebrated and castigated in his life for his aristocratic excesses, which included huge debts, numerous love affairs with both men and women, as well as rumours of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister. One of his lovers, Lady Caroline Lamb, summed him up in the famous phrase "mad, bad, and dangerous to know". His only legitimate child, Ada Lovelace, is regarded as the first computer programmer based on her notes for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. Byron's illegitimate children include Allegra Byron, who died in childhood, and possibly Elizabeth Medora Leigh. more…
