      Dreams change history

      From the perspective of studying history, I think the film was made more in line with historical facts, and there were no fictional facts that were made up because of the good-looking story. Ninety percent is true.

      The actors are great and rarely bring in a sense.

      Of course, because this film is too in line with historical facts, it is a bit like a running account and lacks climax.

      In addition, the lack of too strong negative characters makes the movie unsightly.

      In...

      "Conquer Heaven. 1492"

      This is an epic film shot by Scott in 1992, which describes the story of Columbus's discovery of the New World in America. It is also the story of a Spanish filming in the United States where a British director hired a French star to play an Italian role. (It's not easy to compose this sentence!)

      The first thing I feel is the ears. The theme song was composed by the Greek composer Vangelis. The epic spirit of the film is reproduced. The deep drums, the male chorus, the tactful violin,...

      Vangelis and his "Conquer Heaven"

      We will remember Columbus’s first landing on the American continent on the southern shore of Paria Bay as we remember other historical exam questions. The cruelty of history is often the case. Most of the time, it just sums up your life in one sentence, even though it is in your life. Full of countless suffering and frustration, pain and suffering. In 1492, Columbus was 41 years old. He was already a pretty good year in China. Before that, he had traveled to Portugal, Spain, England, and France...

      Conquer heaven

      Like many people, Vangelis's conquest of paradise inspired me to watch this film. After watching it, I found that the quality of the film itself is also very good, quite Ridley Scott's style. Vangelis's soundtrack is also a classic, with the perfect sound charm to highlight the majestic atmosphere of the film.

      The film brings us back to the time when Columbus discovered the New World in 1942. The keynote of the whole film is the affirmation of the adventurer represented by Columbus,...

      Where is my new world

      I really like the theme music in it. When I hear it, I get sublimated, and I get sublimated from trivial things.

       At sea, Captain Hiramatsu rushed in and questioned Columbus: You said that in only six weeks, 750 leagues, we have already passed, how far is it?
        Columbus closed the window and told him: I don't know.

        Hiramatsu: You deceived us! The crew is about to riot! Tell them yourself.

        Columbus walked out of the cabin, and the topless crew stood under...

      The lines are exquisite, that's for sure. There is a piece of music. I really don't know if it is the original of the play? It's really amazing, and the character of this queen who attacks aliens is really lovely. The rhythm of ordinary and ordinary breeds different feats. Continuing nonsense, I think Columbus is engaged in scientific research, direction,...

      The majestic background music originally came from this video. The scene where Columbus sets off and finally sees the New World is the best part of the film. In the second half of the story, the theme changed from discovering a new continent to building a new world. I felt that this part of the story was not successful, because the grasp of the theme was not tightly cohesive and was too scattered. But it does not affect its status as an epic...

      Filmed to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus's discovery of America, from project establishment to execution, it is more like a popular feature film for children. The film is 154 minutes long, but there is no story. The opening seeks to support the original dream of voyage. In the middle stage, it is discovered that the New World returns to China. In the final stage, the return to the Caribbean is unable to suppress the local people's resignation. Abuse of slow motion and...

    Movie quotes

    • Columbus: I have waited too long. Fought too hard. And now you expect me to take all the risks while you take the profits? No. I am not a servant.

      Sanchez: Signor Columbus, you're in no position to bargain with me.

      Columbus: I'm not bargaining.

      Sanchez: Then you are too ambitious.

      Columbus: And were you never ambitious? Or is ambition only a virtue among nobles and a fault for the rest of us?

      Sanchez: If you won't accept this proposal we can simply find someone who will.

      Columbus: If you can do that, Excellency, I'll become a monk.

    • Antonio de Marchena: [Reading from a letter] "And therefore nothing could justify the participation of your Majesties on a venture that relies on such feeble assumptions and which any man of knowledge would take to be impractical, if not impossible.

      Columbus: They didn't listen. They don't want to listen.

      Antonio de Marchena: You mustn't give way to despair. You must wait.

      Columbus: Wait? I've waited seven years already! How much longer do you want me to wait?

      Antonio de Marchena: If God intends you to go, you will go.

      Columbus: Damn God! Damn of all of you! You all sit at your desks concocting theories! Based on what? You never leave the protection of your gardens. Go out! Find out what the world is about and then tell me something I can accept.

    • Arojaz: If God intended our proximity to Asia, do you believe that He would have waited for you to show it to the world?

      Columbus: He chose a carpenter's son to reveal Himself to the world.

      Arojaz: [Shocked] So you consider yourself the chosen one?
