You would think with a twenty five year development schedule Terry Gilliam could have done a little more work on the story. But alas no. I've always argued, though, that Gilliam is better at visuals than he is at story telling.
It's starts off fine with Kylo Ren directing a commercial in Spain. He's an arrogant fool who hates the project he's working on. Basically they are doing something with Don Quixote and they are tilting at windmills surrounded by a modern wind farm and it's windmills. At first I thought it was going to be an insightful take on creativity and film making so I got kind of excited. Then I realized it was going to be a growth story as Kylo learns to be a better person. But he's a douche throughout the film, so that wasn't it.
Maybe if I knew the story of Don Quixote better the film would have made more sense. But it's mostly Quixote running around with Kylo Ren and Kylo telling Don he is not Sancho. And he does call him Don a lot which is odd, because isn't Don a title like Lord or Sir?
I would also hope for better visuals out of Gillaim but there wasn't anything too fantastic. He did like blur the line between what is real and what is fantasy and then he would make the fantasy being the reality. It wasn't very well accomplished.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
