>Don Quixote movie
I understand this might be a well-made movie, and you might have watched it as a child and enjoyed it, but it will never match the book.

Actually, scratch that pessimistic turn, this is a very enjoyable seen.

I'm right tho. even the part when it comes back to his "senses" and dies a knight is not in the book. he just disown his acts as a knight, say it was all nonsense, and dies a sane man. miserable, sure, but it is played entirely straight in the novel, with no real tragic angle

the movie is really funny because if you read the book you realize Cervantes never actually romanticizes Don Quixote like this

well, for the reader it is, because people on average admire idealists, hence why most movie adaptation (which are created by artists/idealists) tend to portray him as some sort of tragic hero
for cervantes however, he was mostly just a laughingstock, who he killed in the end so that someone else wouldn't plagiarize him again

> “Tale of two cities”
“I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me.”

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
