ashyslashy-56426 I watched 1492 thinking it would be at least partially historically accurate. However when it started I realised that this would waste my time and not tell the audience the history it was based on. The best thing in this movie and the only thing that stops it from being a 1 is the fantastic soundtrack

willemgelein The main characters are Columbus self played by Gérard Depardieu , Queen Isabella played by Sigourney Weaver and Sanchez played by Armand Assante. The genre of the movie is action and the story is about Columbus who wants to prove that the world around is via the Western route to the Indies. So we discovered Columbus, a new part of the world called America. The film was premiered on 8 October 1992 in Spain. We found the weak points of the story the language because Columbus has a strange accent as he spoke English and the filming of some parts of the movie could also be better. The strong points were that the director the story even more interesting shot with some additional effects in the movie to cross. We found it to be a beautiful and interesting film, The duration of the film, we found something too long. It is definitely recommended if you're interested in the history of the voyages of discovery

Kirpianuscus Gerarad Depardieu. and the music of Vangelis. a hero as result of good intentions. and hostile savages. this film is more a seductive fairy tale than a historical film. and this is the motif for see it as a show, ignoring the inaccuracy, the fake events and the clear errors. the poetry of image. nothing else is the virtue of this full of noble intentions film. Christopher Columbus is only a character and cold be strange to compare him with the portrait, known from school years or result of lectures. because, obvious, the purpose is not exactly to recreate a life but to give an impressive hero. and the good thing - it is a beautiful film. detail who could be enough.

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.
