VHS Movie Reviews of 1492 - Conquest of Paradise (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]
Movie Review: 1492 Conquest of Paradise
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie. Some scenes however, are historically incorrect. For example: since the Santa Maria was shipwrecked off the northern coast of Hispaniola, making it necessary for 39 volunteers to stay behind in the fort of "La Navidad." Martin Pinzon was at this time AWOL with the Pinta. All three ships were depicted leaving for Spain in January of 1943 instead of only the Nina. The Nina and Pinta did not rendevous until days later out at sea.
The music of Vangelis makes this movie a classic otherwise.
Summary of 1492 - Conquest of Paradise (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]
One of Ridley Scott's most wrong-headed films, this one (like all of his movies) looks fabulous and sounds utterly ridiculous, almost from the beginning. His first mistake was casting the wonderful Gerard Depardieu as Columbus and forcing him to speak English, which Depardieu does with decided difficulty. After spending way too much time on the ocean with Columbus's three ships (you kind of wish they would sail over the edge of the world), they arrive in the West Indies, only to turn around and sail back. The rest of the film deals with the not particularly comprehensible politics of Columbus's venture, which leads to the violent slaughter of trusting natives by a band of cardboard villains. Depardieu, who radiates sympathy, looks like he's at sea with this material. --Marshall FineAction & Adventure VHS Video
