 Movie Review - 1492: Conquest Of Paradise
1492: Conquest of Paradise is a massive historical drama made in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the voyage of Christopher Columbus to the New World.
He espouses a policy of peaceful coexistence with the natives of the new land saying "They are not savages, and neither will we be." However, with the second expedition, which brings many more ships and men, Columbus begins losing control.
The ambitions and greed of those with less lofty ideals eventually turn the tropical paradise into a living hell where violence and brutality abound.

 '1492 Conquest of Paradise'
Now comes "1492: Conquest of Paradise," a film not quite as ridiculous but twice as disappointing.
But "1492" was directed by Ridley Scott, who gave us "Blade Runner," "Alien" and "Thelma & Louise." With Gerard Depardieu as Columbus, this should have been a class voyage -- even with Sigourney "Alien Killer" Weaver as Queen Isabel.
It's a momentary glimpse of the paradise the Italian voyager has been dreaming of all his life.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: 1492: Conquest of Paradise | Deseret Morning News Web edition
The Columbus of "1492" is a tragic figure, and the film seems to foretell his troubles early on.
The voyage itself is briefly depicted as a torturous journey, and when Columbus' three ships land in their new paradise they meet up with friendly, if cautious, natives as the crew revels in the natural beauty of their surroundings.
But "1492" becomes unwieldly as Scott has trouble maintaining a balance between the film's narrative structure and his penchant for relying on long, lingering shots of imagery that soon lapse into a dull conceit.

 Reviews -- Soundtracks -- 1492: Conquest of Paradise
Quality wise, each work is a stunner: Chariots of Fire -- which won an Academy Award -- Blade Runner and 1492: Conquest of Paradise are all top of their field.
1492 is harder to classify than other soundtracks, mainly because of the exotic instruments Vangelis uses as well as the "soundscapes" produced.
1492 would be perfect for jungle adventures, or very heroic campaigns, on the simple basis that the movie for which the soundtrack was written falls within these categories.

 DVD.net : 1492 - Conquest of Paradise - DVD Review
Certainly 1492 looks nice; in typical Ridley Scott style, every carefully-prepared Panavision shot is loaded with sumptuous detail, rich colour, the trademark Scott falling-rose-petals gimmick (see Legend or Gladiator for further details) and enough over-the-top lighting effects to make Russell Mulcahy pick up his bat and ball and go home.
But pretty pictures are almost a given when dealing with a Ridley Scott film; where 1492 stumbles is in the storytelling, a problem that starts with the screenplay and is exacerbated by Scott’s fondness for visual symbolism.
The music score is by Vangelis, and appears to have been mixed in full surround; many will know one of the more majestic pieces of this score, as it’s been obnoxiously used in trailers for other films since.

AD 484 - 578) for paradise, which he assumed to be an island in the Atlantic Ocean (map).
The conquest of La Palma started on the 29th of September of 1492, with the landing on the beaches of Tazacorte by Fernandez de Lugo, and finished on the 3rd of May of the following year.
Since he had been personally responsible for financing the conquest, he was endowed by the crown with powers rather more extensive than the governors of the other islands.

Ridley Scott's "1492: Conquest of Paradise" sees Christopher Columbus as more complex and humane than in the other screen treatments of the character.
The sound track instructs us what to think about many of the shots; the quasi-ecclesiastical strains seem to suggest the church will indeed save many souls in the New World, while the Indian theme suggests that these simple forest people were already well on the way to inventing New Age music.
Depardieu lends it gravity, the supporting performances are convincing, the locations are realistic, and we are inspired to reflect that it did indeed take a certain nerve to sail off into nowhere just because an orange was round.

Of all the complaints I've read and heard concerning Ridley Scott's "1492: Conquest of Paradise" is the casting of actor G?rard Depardieu at Christopher Columbus, on whom the story focuses.
Of Ridley's Scott's credits, "1492" seems to be considered one of his worst, but believe me, "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "Black Rain" were far less engrossing, and far more atrocious than anything he's ever cooked up.
It is this attention to character that makes "1492: Conquest of Paradise" more than just a history lesson, or a hollow epic; this one actually has some heart.

 Review 1492: Conquest of Paradise
The emphasis in the story lies on the disastrous affects the Europeans had on the original inhabitants, and Columbus' struggle to civilise the new world.
Conquest of Paradise isn´t a movie that´s carried by its storyline.
1492 is a similar movie, an epic based on historical events, and the looks of these two movies are genuinely stunning.

On the occasion of the 500th memorial day of the discovery of America, this big budget movie was made starring Gerard Depardieu (Green Card, The Man In The Iron Mask) about the discovery by Columbus.
Originally meant to add the new country to the kingdom of Spain, Columbus strives to bring civilisation to the new lands.
The consequences for the local inhabitants are of course nefarious, and the country turns out for them to be all but a paradise.

For an American, knowledge of Christopher Columbus would seem to be obigatory, but it is shocking how little we Americans actually know about Columbus.
This movie attempts to change that, giving us a realistic view of what it was like back in 1492.
