This Don Quixote Movie Guide (NR - 2015) challenges students to explore themes of illusion vs. reality, chivalry, and the power of imagination.

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?
