Abstract
This article studies the movie The Knight-errant Don Quixote (El caballero Don Quijote, 2002, by Spanish director M. Guti?rrez Arag?n), an adaptation of the second part of Cervantes's Don Quixote. It aims to analyze the difference between the personality of Don Quixote and that of Sancho Panza in both the novel and the movie, as well as Guti?rrez Arag?n's leitmotiv. While Guti?rrez Arag?n projects certain Spanish image and nationalism through the mise en sc?ne, color symbols and shooting techniques, evoking the Golden Age of Spanish Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries, he also offers his distinct interpretations as a Spanish director in relation to many Quixote movies shot in the past by other directors. In addition, this article also focuses on the comic effect shown by Sancho Panza in order to appreciate Cervantes's talent in drama and Guti?rrez Arag?n's investment in theatrical representation. Moreover, the different ways of thinking about the madness of Don Quixote between Cervantes's times and the modern society cause Guti?rrez Arag?n to present a more human and comprehensible Don Quixote.
