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 director wants to shoot a sense of picture similar to "Freedom to Guide the People", it is obviously not like this when people fight. . .
In addition, I feel that the restoration of history is not very accurate, and the historical context is not very clear. Bolivar finally died in the political turmoil in South America after his resignation, not in further expeditions. Sucre was assassinated in the midst of infighting, not in the march.
Finally, it must be said that Bolivar does seem to have infinite beauty, but in fact it contains sadness. He was committed to the unity of the whole of South America, but unfortunately the external cultural environment was not available (South America lacks the economic background and cultural background of unity and unity, and the centrifugal trend is strong), Gran Colombia soon fell apart, and South America was still turbulent and weak.
