Armand Assante's character arc is truly one of the gems of this movie. He went from doubting Columbus, downplaying his importance, even working against him, to eventually seeing the errors of his ways and truly realizing the greatness of what Columbus has achieved in the very end of the movie.
@@michelleelmore5533 Lol he founded western civilization, he laid the foundations for the greatest civilization to ever exist, you're standing on the shoulder of a giant and thinking you're flying 😂😂😂
"A waste? Well, if your name or mine is ever remembered it will only be because of his"! What a great line! This movie is the definition of "underrated movie": Great perfomances glorious soundtrack and a very interesting script!
I dont care how good or bad the story, screenplay, direction or editting... Armand Asante is awesome in everything. He devours the screen with passion.
I never understood why this film got a bad rep I mean Braveheart for example is incredibly historically inaccurate, but has a massive following. Sitting aside the inaccuracies i still thought this film was really good.
For all the classic scenes Sir Ridley has brought to the screen. This without doubt is he's most honest. And most economical. A personal FU to all the melts that run Hollywood.
There wouldn’t be a new world without Colombus, he believed in it, and he did it, he made it to the new world. Although he wasn’t the first to reach the Americas, he was the first to reach the new world. He did it, I’m glad he has the credit for it in modern day.
In case there's any confusion, the discovery may have been Columbus', but the navigation of the entire continent earned Amerigo Vespucci the naming in the early 1500's. Granted there are major inconsistencies with his logs, charts and manuscripts,..but the naming was largely a politically facilitated slap to Columbus. The First takes all the risk,..then the charlatans appear in droves. Always the way.
The Vikings were the first to discover the Americas, some 500 years earlier. Columbus himself, during his lifetime, was certain that he had gone to India and not a new continent.

There is something about the passion of Spaniards (don't be fooled by my nickname). Watching this and Alatriste.....Sanchez's perfomance throughout the movie is magnificient as is Olivares'. Also there is something about this language that is savage and commands respect.

A group of vikings landed there, yes. Never returned back to tell others. Their likes never colonised it. So in effect discovery was for them, on that trek, and them alone. Columbus however, even if he didnt know he discovered a new land mass, he ushered in the beginning of the biggest land migration from one continent to another in human history. To which we still feel the reporcussions today. That's why that moment eclipses all other moments, I would argue in all of human history. Columbus 1492 was that moment.
@@blayzertrayl8929 Of course they returned, they returned back to Iceland. This has been scientifically proven with DNA, mitochondrie. A tiny group of native Icelanders share a common mitochondrial DNA with natives of US, meaning vikings took a woman with them and she had a daughter etc
in my opinion, Columbus is more "Moses" for Christianity than what is being portrayed in the scene. by the way, the fall of Granada scene(?) where Columbus meets the Spanish Queen for the first time, is the movie implying that the Spanish plundered Granada to fund Columbus' expedition? or am i letting my imagination fill in the blank?
The new world, the great new world was established by the English not the Spanish

If you are reffering to the USA then NO the Brits did not establish that. Most migrants to that place did not come from the UK. All those people established and made the USA. They may speak English but that does not make them English.
“I did it, you didn’t”

It's such a good movie.
I watch this video every few days it's so good.

Christopher didn’t create any greatness he was sick and despicable man!
@@michelleelmore5533 Nope. If you live in the western hemisphere, you owe him your allegiance and respect.

@@michelleelmore5533those things aren’t mutually exclusive
His name... Americo Vespucci! The robbery of Colombu's lifework. The acting of Depardieu is amazing! Very good and underrated movie of Ridley Scott!
"A waste? Well, if your name or mine is ever remembered it will only be because of his"! What a great line! This movie is the definition of "underrated movie": Great perfomances glorious soundtrack and a very interesting script!
This scene is powerful, and at the end Sanchez learn to respect Columbus.
That smile and delivery when he says "All of them built by people like me" is probably the greatest "BURNNNNNN" comeback ever.
One of his best soundtracks ever made by Vangelis. RIP Vangelis. Greetings Dirk Belgium.
The Vangelis soundtrack is extraordinary indeed.
I dont care how good or bad the story, screenplay, direction or editting... Armand Asante is awesome in everything. He devours the screen with passion.
True....in every movie he makes a great Performance
A masterpiece in all cinema!
I never understood why this film got a bad rep
I mean Braveheart for example is incredibly historically inaccurate, but has a massive following. Sitting aside the inaccuracies i still thought this film was really good.
True!
Because it was a very un-PC movie that came out a week before the 1992 election.
Its a underrated masterpiece
Because this film was released when Americans had just started to self-flagellate themselves for the sins of their ancestors.
Nobody knows who Sanchez was, but every person alive knows who Columbus was.
For all the classic scenes Sir Ridley has brought to the screen. This without doubt is he's most honest. And most economical. A personal FU to all the melts that run Hollywood.
omg, thanks for sharing these ingenious scenes with sanchez out of an ingenious movie👍👍👍
"Nothing that results in human progress is achieved with unanimous consent."
There wouldn’t be a new world without Colombus, he believed in it, and he did it, he made it to the new world. Although he wasn’t the first to reach the Americas, he was the first to reach the new world. He did it, I’m glad he has the credit for it in modern day.
Nowadays peopke in usa want to cancel columbus day... thats absurd
@@ciccio1883 yep...
glory to columbus
They don't share the same feeling in America... that was a genocide...
Depardieu win, Assante ........
In the second 0:41 the current city of Segovia appears, which the Catholic Monarchs actually lived in during the events of Christopher Columbus

Cristobal Colon knew he had not gone to India. That is just what the history books tell us. He had access to maps others didn't
The eskimoes where there 12000 years before but who is counting. jajajajaja

Not only loot, but also the fact that te state is at peace. Which means no war, saving the state a lot of money which could be spent on other things.
