SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Wellington Mateus The film talks about the great voyages of Columbus and as a good movie Historic he manages to convey the mood of the time, but its history It is not very engaging and its characters are nothing developed. One thing that becomes clear in the film is the fact that he does not want to be more than a historical film, get "Schindler's List" for example, is a film that tells a very well history during the Second World War, but at the same time develops his characters in memorable scenes.This film is not at all bad, in fact the only thing I bothered were the facts presented above, as I said "1492 - A Conquest of Paradise "is a film that conveys very well the mood of his time, the scenes of the Holy Inquisition and the great voyages are good Examples of visual quality of the film, which sometimes creates a climate shocking (such as the Holy Inquisition) and sometimes has a great weather (as in the case of the great voyages of Colombo). Finally I can say that this is a good film, its technical aspects They are clean, but its story and its characters are not very developed, but I recommend it for those who like to see the great accounts of history books on the screen.
Guilherme Figueiredo I'm in shock after watching this masterpiece of cinema, and realize that this is the most under-rated film in history. Must be a lack of maturity of the people today in recognize a true work of art and distinguish them of the trash we see every week in theaters today.The film tells a wonderful story, intriguing and engaging, with great performances, great custom designs, perfect art direction, and editing, the soundtrack is completely awesome.With the film we understand how fragile was the relationship of the Europeans and its interests with the wild natives, and how these interests led to destruction of a local culture and introduced a new millennium to the American continent. With the great performance of Gérard Depardieu, Sigourney Weaver, and Armand Assante also with the fantastic direction of Ridley Scott, we also realize how sad was the story of Christopher Columbus that after discovering the new world, had its failure to colonize it efficiently in the eyes of the Spanish crown, and had his belated recognition out of its time, this recognition that ended up to Americo Vespucci.In the film we make a trip back in time, the scenes, the costumes, all landscapes, are extremely realistic and true to reality of the time, I guarantee to all that didn't watched this movie, after you do it will be one of your favorites. And I ask those who judge the film as bad or average, to revise their concepts immediately because I guarantee you that they are wrong.
Armand its virtue is not to be an impressive historical movie or a great show. but demonstration of high level work of a really ambitious/dedicated team. the direction, the music, the acting, the images, the script are a homage and a beautiful demonstration of talent and translation of essence of a period. a film about Columbus who is more than a way to remind a moment but who desires defines the roots of period. it is not perfect and that fact does it ideal prey for critics who defines it as too expensive effort for a not deep convincing result. but it is only pure show. not entertainment in basic definition, not a precise documentary but proof of a great embroidery from an unique artistic circle. that fact does it more than film of a moment. but an adventure for each viewer. so, a pure show.
jknow2012 In 1492, we witness an epic(in the original sense of the word) depiction of how things were around the period of the time when Christopher Columbus arrived at the "New World" in the fifteenth century. Based on historical events which occurred during Columbus' expeditions, this film shows how things were before, during, and slightly after Columbus arrived in the islands of the Caribbean. What was particularly interesting was when Columbus arrived in the "New World" which was already inhabited by Indians. Subsequently, we get to see how these natives were conquered & eventually turned into slaves. The same spirit which was responsible for the Inquisition in Spain eventually came into contact with the original natives of this "New World". Historically, this would be a good movie for Americans to observe and analyze on an educational level. For those who may not know, this movie shows that Christopher Columbus and his minions DID NOT discover this "New World", however they DID conquer it, hence the title of the move "1492: Conquest of Paradise".
