Comment on "The Conqueror" and "Apocalypse"
Jack ♡ 2007.30, a

recent new film "The Conqueror", playing the sign of a war movie, is actually a lie, and another not long ago also fighting a war movie The signature movie "Apocalypse" has a similar plot. It tells a story about a capable man, dealing with a powerful enemy, and finally destroying the powerful enemy. This plot is common in any era, whether it is a tribal war thousands of years ago or today’s spies. Great wars can be filmed into such a plot, which does not reflect the background of the time in the Americas at all. Another movie "New Century" is basically acceptable, but these movies can be described as action movies, but they are deceptively war movies. It's really infuriating, and there are problems with integrity.

"Revelation" talks about the Aztecs' human sacrifices before the Spanish arrived in the Americas. At the beginning of the film, there is a sentence to the effect that "any civilization begins to perish from within", as if human sacrifices were caused by human sacrifices. The reason for the demise of the Aztecs, but the Aztecs have been carrying out human sacrifices for thousands of years. Why didn't they perish before, but the Spaniards only perished when this external cause came?

"The Conqueror" is about the Indians discovering that the Vikings came to America 500 years ago when they discovered Columbus. Why do they say that? Because it is necessary to talk about who discovered the Americas first, it is now generally agreed that the Indians must have discovered the Americas 20,000 years ago, and then came to the Americas from Asia through the strait. Then came the Eskimos, who kept going back and forth between the two ends of the strait until the modern political environment forced them to stay on one side or the other side of the strait. Then there are the Vikings, who arrived in the Americas 1,000 years ago, and finally the Columbus people, who arrived in the Americas 500 years ago. Why is it said that the Indians discovered it? Everyone who has read "Apocalypse" knows that it was indeed discovered by the Indians first. Just imagine that a ship on the sea and a hunter in the forest will find it easier to find out. Those who support the'Columbus Discovery of the New World' are racists who don't treat Indians and Asians as human beings, and advocate white people's supremacy.

I think the name "Conqueror" is not translated correctly, because conquer means to surrender, but the plot in the movie is only looting and killing, which is the Three Lights policy, so it is better to translate it into "Player". The film talks about a white child who had no intention of killing since he was a child, and was later adopted by Indians, who made America his home and resisted the Vikings. The words express that he can become a righteous soldier because he has his heart. Righteous, and have lived in a desireless, uncontested Indian tribe since childhood, rather than living with burnt Vikings. But from a historical point of view, it is not necessary to be with Indians since childhood to accept the life of Indians. Because there was a Spanish adult who came to the Indians due to a shipwreck and became an aboriginal. He wore a delicate nose and earrings from the tribe to which he belonged. When Cortes met him, he refused to give up the present. Some life. So it doesn’t matter what concept you have in your mind, and you don’t have to cultivate your living habits from an early age. The key lies in who has the greater power on both sides of the cultural conflict, which is why the Indians were later assimilated.

Human sacrifices in the Americas are quite common. People who have seen "Revelation" may be surprised and denounce this behavior. In fact, it is the same as today's flying saucers, solitaire fortune-telling, crop circles, astrology, and disc cents. Yes, no matter how science or technology develops, there are always ignorant and ignorant people.

Now let’s talk about the history of the Americas. Why do Westerners go to the Americas? There are religious and economic reasons for this. First of all, religious reasons. Western Christians have been fighting hard with Muslims for a long time. When they heard that there is a strong China in the East and that China does not believe in Islam, they wanted to fight China ties in to resist Muslims. Economically, since the Roman era, the economies of the West and China have been controlled by the middlemen, the Persians and later Arabs. For their intermediate profits, they have been preventing direct trade between the West and the East, so Westerners are eager to find A new way to trade silk with China and spice trade with India.

But why did the Spanish first arrive in the Americas? Is it because Spain’s science is the most advanced? No, but because they are not scientifically advanced. Spanish Admiral Columbus believed that the easiest way to travel to Asia was via a short voyage across the Atlantic. At that time, the most advanced navigation technology was Portugal. The Portuguese calculated that the earth was much larger than Columbus thought, and the closest way to Asia was to bypass Africa. The final result also proved Columbus's mistake. He did not reach Asia. His voyage was a big failure in terms of his goal. The irony is that until his death, Columbus was convinced that he had already arrived in Asia, and the next step was to find China, which is why the Native Americans are called Indians-Indians today.

This period of history actually has a lot of deeds that can be made into movies, and they are much better than that of vulgar movies that personally fight against powerful enemies. The most fascinating thing is that Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca country with hundreds of thousands of troops with a team of 180 people. Pizarro first attacked the Inca king, successfully captured the king, and massacred the king’s entourage. Thousands of people. Pizarro asked for a ransom. When the Incas paid the gold that filled the room, Pizarro did not release the king, and asked the king to make a choice: to be burned to death on the stake as a pagan, or to be baptized as a Christian. Then he was hanged. The Inca king turned his back on his religion in order to leave his body and chose the latter, but when he was baptized, Pizarro burned him to death with his usual treachery. Seeing this, we will all feel angry. In fact, at the time, the King of Spain was also angry, because Pizarro, a civilian, illiterate, and the bastard of an officer, dared to commit crimes and kill the king, so the King of Spain wanted to put Pizarro to death.

Physical conquest is painful, but cultural conquest is sad. When asked these descendants, they pointed to the statues on the former Inca buildings, they actually said that it was the devil. Think about it, we also have the same experience, we have also shouted "Down with the gods, snakes and ghosts" and "Down with Kongjiadian."

"Conqueror" reminds people of two games. One is Microsoft’s Age of Empires 2. His expansion is called "Conqueror". The conqueror is the name of the Spanish cavalry at the time. It looked a little bizarre, wearing a dog-skin hat and holding a spear. The gun was not far away from the spearman. Once across a river, the enemy spearman took the spear and shot this way, but I But the conqueror has no way at all, and once close combat is also powerless, I really don’t know what Microsoft thinks, and don’t understand a bit of history. The conqueror in "Conquer America" ​​is more satisfying, wearing a white helmet, wearing silver armor, riding a white horse, holding a firearm, and wearing a long sword. When encountering an enemy, first pull out a pistol, shoot at the enemy, and then pull out a saber to drive forward. Once, there were too many enemies, and I ordered everyone to run to the nearby temple to hide, but there was a conqueror who was surrounded by enemies and couldn’t get out. Then there were more and more enemies, and I couldn’t see him anymore. . But when the enemy retreated, he was found to be alive, which shows how powerful the conqueror is.
