1492: Conquest of Paradise - The bell scene

[@woodspam9875]

RIP Vangelis. Died May 17, 2022. Thank you for your timeless music.

[@Ferruccio_Guicciardi]

Totally agree. I was born in South America and live now in Europe since 2004 and this movie hits me emotionally since I can see now the frontier between these two cultures. I wonder if the Europeatization of Americas started or the Americanization of Europe. What do you think?

[@blainemullins6285]

I don’t care what the critics say. Despite his accent, Gerard Depardieu plays the role of Columbus so smashingly, you forget he is French. Ridley Scott’s vision and Vangelis’s score are so paramount that this fictitious take on history is a thrill ride.

[@Cton88]

When he says, “And I will prove it.” after being rejected. He was believable

[@ammagnolia]

It's a horrible Columbus. The man was nuts, harsh af to his men. He was a stereotypical bad guy. Idk who the hell this French Hippie is but that's not CC. Seriously when he showed up one of his statements he made after meeting natives were.... Well this is gonna be easy to r*** and enslave these people. Look they don't even know how to use a sword.

All in all a pretty nice heroic tale about Columbus and indeed the director seems to have quite a hand for telling such tales, though of course his movies are by no means brilliant or profound, like the ones of Akira Kurosawa or the plays of Shakespeare and are full of the cheap modern clichés (against the church or the nobility for example), which can be quite annoying; but still they are nice to watch at times, as not even I can watch “Ran”, ”Throne of Blood” or “Kagemusha” all the time.

[@jackm007ify]

Yes it was a beautiful film my lady. Columbus actually wrote in praise of the Taino people btw. Columbus and Spanish Civilization and that of Aztec and other indigenous American civilizations are celebrated in Dia de muertos or day of the dead. The Europeans and ingenious peoples of Americas did great things for the world.

Columbus was a great man. He brought civilization and god to a dark part of the world.

[@Ilsimeone]

Columbus certainly was a very courageous man, I give him that. But a great man? Definitely not. He was personally responsible for enslaving and brutalizing the Indians, his motives were primarily power and money, not the cultural exploration of the New World. No wonder he was replaced with Francisco de Bombadilla and sent back to Spain in chains. When I think of great men at the time I think of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci...not Columbus.

[@Ilsimeone]

Oh, and the Spanish did bring god to that "dark" part of the world, yes, and they brought the Encomienda that caused only misery, havoc and death. The Arawak and Taíno were almost completely exterminated within 50 years after Columbus' discovery.

It also reminds me what happened when the Portuguese conquered Malacca in 1511. Catholicism was first introduced to the Malaccans when the Portuguese first erected a churuch on the hill, known as the St. Paul's church at Fort A Famosa

[@humbertoventura6818]

actually it started with a simple cross and a mess, the church was after the introduction of the Catholicism. I am Portuguese myself so i study these things in school. Portuguese preaches and missionaries during XVI century where actually very human like, they respected the populations and seek to teach, not to enforce. However the nobility back then holded the arms and they would kill and enslave if needs be to achieve riches and dominate the land, that was how things where back then. An example of this is Brazil, the Catholicism was not enforced, in fact the first mess was given on a beach and the natives approached on their own and even helped to raise an enormous wooden cross. This is documented by Pero Vaz de Caminha in 1501. Well in case of Columbus I think it was quite different.
