The film is a microcosm of the nineteenth century old imperialist countries' colonization of Africa and the history of black people's struggle for independence. The narrative in the first half of the film is mediocre, and the climax goes on and on. First, the Portuguese colonists are overthrown by England and its agents and the indigenous black leaders. Then the agents compete with the indigenous leaders for leadership, and the latter wins, and then the indigenous leaders lack governance due to...

Brando chooses to perform the best work of his career, and this film is really direct, brutal, and unreservedly showing the cruelty and unscrupulousness of capitalism, which can raze an entire island to the ground in order to maximize exploitation. What about an independent country? It's not like shooting your puppet president and coming in on a tall horse. (It's alluding to Americans here.) The freedom others give you are not real freedom!...

Sow the fire of revolution and spread the virus of civilization. Using the modernization process of religious assimilation of capital industry to accelerate the demise of native civilization, Brando's teaching of English-style noose knots to native executioners is extremely symbolic. So this is making the bullet fly?...

The British incited the slaves to rebel against the Portuguese, and the conscious black leaders did not buy the British. From slaves to hired workers, in fact, they are all enslaved, and everything is for profit. The so-called civilization is a rule set by a strong and mature party, and a civilized person will become extremely uncivilized for the benefit. Marlon Brando is also a teacher and a friend, coming and going in a hurry, but he is still a mercenary after...

Colonial/social revolution issues are still of great value today, but very few works have been written on them. Brando's performance in this film is really good. He sometimes has a pretentiousness, but this time it is unusually natural. Morricone's score...

That's a small masterpiece, and you are the author
- Civilization is not a simple matter, Jose. You cannot learn its secrets overnight. Today civilization belongs to the white man and you must learn to use it. Without it, you cannot go forward.
- Jose Dolores says that if what we have in our country is civilization, civilization of white men, then... -

Where is the island of Quemadada?
After googled for a while, I couldn't determine the location of the island of Quemada, maybe it's a very unknown African island; I occasionally watched this film on the Phoenix Film Station, and Lao Ma played it very well. tangled. Aside from this, some of the film's points of oppression,...

Sir William Walker: A fine specimen, isn't he? You know, it's an exemplary story. In the beginning he was nothing. A porter, a water carrier. And England makes him a revolutionary leader and when he no longer serves her, he's put aside. And when he rebels again more or less in the name of those same ideals which England's taught him - England decides to eliminate him. Don't you think that's a small masterpiece?

José Dolores: It is not true that fire destroys everything. A little life always remains. Yet in the end, a blade of grass. So, how come the white invaders win? How come they win in the end? Someone of us will always remain. Still others will be born later. And others, too, will begin to understand. In the end, you also will understand. And the whites, in the end, will be maddened by you. Madder than a white beast becomes when he finds he's closed in and the mad beast'll run for the last time, pursued and hunted all over the island, till he falls into one of the great fires that he himself has made. And the groans from this dying beast will become our first cry of freedom. One that will be heard far, far beyond this island.
