Title: Beautiful videography, needs more research and exploration
Review: I had to watch this movie for my University history class. I thought that the videography was great, beautiful scenery etc, but I ended up having to rent this one again just so I could rewind to catch all the parts I couldn't understand due to Gerard Depardieu's accent. Why do did they have a Frenchman playing an Italian in Spain, but speaking English. We as a class decided that there was a lot of Historical inacurracy, not only in events as they happen in the movie, but also in the character of Columbus as well. Sorry folks. He was the not NICE GUY that this film makes him out to be. I also felt that they needed to explore a bit more into the tensions of the crew during the voyage and after landing. This would have made those scenes much better. I recommend this film for the beautiful scenery and the good acting (albeit hard to understand sometimes), but I would not recommend it if you are a stickler for historical truth.
Is the review positive or negative?
