      I like

      "I am ashamed of my blindness. The real destiny of man is freedom. The desire for freedom is like an innate thought. This thought comes from instinct. He is like, like laughing, like breathing. Who Can stop the rain? Who can stop the wind? Who can stop the earthquake? Who can? No one can! So no one can stop those who yearn for freedom, the Spaniards came to this country and took it for themselves, they plundered us lands, enslaved our people, we have been humiliated and...

      Who is our Libertador?

      When Boliville caught a poor boy who stole his boots and wanted to kill him in anger, the boy's mother pleaded for mercy and had the following insight: "The true nature of man is freedom, and yearning for freedom is like nature. The urge to feel is an urge from the stomach, like a delicious meal, like laughing, like breathing, it's going to rain, who can stop it? It's going to be windy, who can stop it? Turn, who can stop it? Who can? No one. Therefore no one can stop those who have been...

      Still three minutes away

      The name Simon Bolivar the Liberator of South America was first learned from Xiao Shuo, and this time, I was greatly moved to have a deeper understanding of it from a film perspective. From the exquisite costumes and the scenes of war, you can feel the investment of Venezuela in South America in this film. But there is a lack of enthusiasm in the grasp of the rhythm of the war. Since everyone likes watching this, it should not stop abruptly when the audience is just excited. Secondly, in terms...

      post-view confusion

      Maria Vaward loves it.
      The production is still exquisite, but the character depiction really lacks tension, and it is suspected of being a saint in the later stage.
      The war scenes are too symbolic and propaganda, and they all reach the decisive and important battle - the bridge capture, but there is no decent firepower, but rely on swords, guns and sticks. The tactics of the sea of ​​people also seem very mindless. Anyway, there are some tactical strategies~ Although I know that the...

      Originally it was something that should be made into a series. Of course, it would be difficult to make a movie to show the whole picture of the whole history. If it is a 40-episode TV series, American drama or British drama, the effect will be much better. The overall performance is acceptable. I adore it, so read...

      At first glance, you can tell that this film was shot in Venezuela, and let’s promote that the entire Latin America is one family regardless of national borders. Second, let's not forget to blacken imperialism. Our great hero Bolivar did not die of tuberculosis, but was conspired to death by imperialism and its...
