Descrição: This essay proposes a reconsideration of ingenio lego by comparing Miguel de Cervantes and Don Quixote with the director Tommy Wiseau and his film The Room, considered one of the worst films in history. Through an analysis of both, a nuanced understanding of authorial intent and an audience's capacity to alter the meaning of a work emerges, suggesting the possible fruitful perspective of considering an author or a creator as both a "genius" and "fool" simultaneously. The purpose of this analysis is to challenge and complement the present dominant view of Miguel de Cervantes as a "genius" author.
