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 we are better uncivilized because it is better to know where to go and not know how than it is to know how to go and not know where.
- And then?
- And then, Jose Dolores says...

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, exploitation and revolution are worth pondering, although the story takes place before and after the First Opium War, where colonialism prevailed....

After watching it, The Third Cinema's movies are really too long... The first half is unremarkable, and the reversal at the back is unexpected, no, but it is reasonable. Capitalism burns mountains and kills people with peace of mind. Even if the protagonist has a relationship with Jose, he is not really a friend. The drama of betrayal and then trying to save after taking advantage of it is too real. In fact, the protagonist stated from the beginning that he wanted the rebels to become...

Simple and powerful story, but not well-known, it can be regarded as a pearl of film history. As the spokesman for the colonists, Brando directed a coup d’etat and suppressed another coup d’état. After his arrest, Dolores, a revolutionary he raised, said to the black soldiers escorting him: “If they let me live. That means it's good for them, and if it's good for them to be alive, then it's better for me to die." A stark critique of colonialism. The paragraph "Abolicao" written by Morricone for...
Marsina: José Dolores says that if what we have in our country is civilization, civilization of white men, then we are better uncivilized because it is better to know where to go and not know how than it is to know how to go and not know where.
Sir William Walker: And then?
Marsina: And then, José Dolores says that if a man works for another, even if he's called a worker he remains a slave. And it will always be the same, since there are those who own the plantations and those who own the machete to cut cane for the owners.
Sir William Walker: And then?
Marsina: And then, José Dolores says that we must cut heads instead of cane.
Sir William Walker: There's a tidy program.
Marsina: Yes.
Sir William Walker: Now we must realize, gentlemen, that if we are to succeed in eliminating José Dolores, it's not because we're better than he is or that we're braver than he is, it's simply because we have more arms and more men than he has. And we must also realize that the soldier either fights to earn his pay or because his country forces him to do so. But the guerrilla, on the other hand, fights for an idea.
Sir William Walker: I think it's a rather simple calculation. What does a guerrilla have to lose, except his life? Whereas you, General, have a lot to lose. Wife, children, house, career, savings, personal pleasures and private aspirations and it's nothing to be ashamed of that's simply the way of it.
