    I watched this movie because of the music

    The music is really nice and powerful, but compared with classical music, there are still many gaps.
    For music, get a film. It was in pure English at first, so I couldn't read it. Later, I downloaded it from Fengxing Internet, with Chinese subtitles, and watched it in two days.

    On August 3, 1492, Columbus was dispatched by the King of Spain and led three sailing ships of more than one hundred tons from the Port of Baros, Spain, sailing out of the Atlantic Ocean and heading westward. After seventy days and nights of arduous...

1492: Conquest of Paradise quotes

  • Alonso: [Talking to Columbus in front of all the ship's crew] God doesn't want us to cross this ocean. This voyage is cursed. We set sail for greed. God has abandoned us. The voyage is cursed. There are signs.

    Columbus: Juanito has the voice of an angel. What comes out of his mouth is blessed, Alonso. What comes out of yours is cursed. Listen to me. Every man is afraid when he does something for the first time. But those who overcome their fears will rightly earn their rewards. I don't know if it's God's will that we should cross this ocean but I am certain that it is you who puts fear into our hearts. We cannot be lost as long as we keep faith in God and in ourselves. In time they will talk about the courage of the first men who crossed this ocean and returned. And then you will be able to say to them: "I was on the Pinta, I was on the Nina and the Santa Maria."

  • Columbus: [Voice-over] October 21st, 1492. I think we have returned to Eden. Surely this is how the world was in the beginning of time. If the natives are to be converted to our ways, then it will be by persuasion and not by force. I believe no man will ever see this land again as we do, for the fist time. We come in peace and with honor. They are not savages, neither will we be. Treat them as you would your own wives and children. Respect their beliefs. Pillage will be punished by the whip. Rape, by the sword.
