		Sure his films are inconsistent, but the man possessed a passion for his craft, and a vision of his art, that was unwavering, inspiring, and all too rare.
		In this film, however, they set up the standard scenario, then quickly knock it down by killing the weenie guy and revealing that the bad-ass guy was the chosen one all along.
		This film is generally regarded as the beast that killed Fulci's career, and indeed, his output starting with this film is spotty at best.

	Filmtracks: 1492: Conquest of Paradise (Vangelis)
		All film scores are created for the sole purpose of complimenting their respective films, but in the case of 1492: Conquest of Paradise, Vangelis has managed to do just the opposite --an opposite that is quite difficult to obtain.
		With his synthetic and choral score for this film about Christopher Columbus and his discovery of the new world, he has produced a mass hit on the record store shelves and a completely inappropriate score for the film.
		Forget the film, forget the fact that this is a film score, and forget that it was a horrendous blunder in its purpose.

	The Other Conquest: Film Review di Guido Mezzabotta
		It is said that in the century after the conquest between 12 and 25 million Aztecs had perished by the brutal hands of the Spaniards.
		The opening of "The Other Conquest," Salvador Carrasco's first film, would suggest to the viewer that one is in for a Mexican spin on the Spanish conquest with all of it's cruelty.
		The end of the film signifies the beginning of the Christian-Aztec religious fusion that would eventually be realized, as Kenneth Tynan, film critic of the LA Times, states, "as the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe; a Virgin with Aztec features.

		In the 50s, Pal was the prime innovator in science fiction cinema, and not just in terms of special effects - although he certainly was the king of the effects movie at the time, launching an entire craze of then-modern sci-fi with his works of sheer spectacle.
		Granted, many effects shots pale in comparison to today’s films, but no matter; they were amazing for their time and deserve much praise for their breakthrough status.
		In “Conquest,” one character quite unexpectedly decides mid-mission that such a journey is an abomination against God.

	The Other Conquest review
		It is an ambitious film whose greatest failing is that is falls short of being a truly epic picture.
		This film yearns to be an epic, but ultimately fails to capture the violence surrounding the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1521.
		Further, the lack of light in the film gave me the impression that it was filmed in a confined space.

	1492: Conquest of Paradise / Ridley Scott / 1992 / Film review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Unfortunately, of the various films which were made to commemorate the event, all fell short of their objectives and most ended up being mauled, deservedly, by the critics.
		Where the film fails most notably is in the characterisation, which is only reinforced by poor dialogue and some unfortunate casting decisions.
		The most frustrating thing about this film is that, despite all the talent that went into it, it had to end up such a mediocre work, one which does a great disservice to the historic event it attempts to commemorate.

	CONQUEST; CONTRABAND; ZOMBIE (BLUE UNDERGROUND) - DVDs
		I think a lot of people would argue that this is the role of the film critic, but I'd offer that a critic--a good one--loves film so much that he or she is offended when a movie is terrible.
		The films don't really belong to him anymore once they belong to us, you see, and the lack of respect he's showing to our memories and pleasures is worse than just larceny, it's something as indecent and invasive as emotional rape.
		Conquest on the other hand is all but forgotten, resurrected by Blue Underground in a presentation that should warm the hearts of Fulci completists everywhere.

		And Leonid Kiryakov, the underwater operator, answered it in the begining of the film: "It's necessary to understand who you are and what kind of attitude you are worthy of".
		The most impressive thing in the film is under the ice reality: unique curves of snow-white sculptures, snow figured crumb, shafts of ghostly light, greenish gleam of the ice wall.
		The penetration into the main idea of the film is so skilful and the knowledge of details is so intimate, that sometimes it seems to you these ingredient's "richness" is too high - like boiling water runs over the pot, "the pot" of narration.

	Amazon.com: Video: Conquest (1937) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Conquest", comes across today as a classic example of lavish filmmaking from Hollywood's Golden Age and is a rare example of where Garbo's leading man had just as substantial a role as she did.
		Films like "Conquest", reveal the studio system at its absolute peak when the expertise behind the cameras was just as important as the stars.
		Charles Boyer and her make a potent screen team and help to give "Conquest", a lasting quality which despite its failure at the box office in 1937 has allowed it to be revived many times since as a classic example of what Hollywood was capable of acheiving during the 1930's.

	Conquest Review
		While watching Conquest I wanted to smack my head into a brick wall… hard… to help distract me from the mind-numbing pain the movie was causing.
		Throughout the film I felt like I was caught up in a hippie's drug-induced nightmare, and as much as my finger twitched on the STOP button of the remote I gnashed my teeth and stuck through it.
		And if you don't, well, you'll have witnessed a film so bad that the directors should have given you an "I survived Conquest and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" t-shirt.

	Conquest of Space (1955)
		It was the boldest of all science fiction films made up until that time, coming not only with an extraordinary optimism and zealous invocation about mankind’s capacity to conquer new frontiers but also with plausibly detailed engineering schematics for how to do so.
		The effects in the film are generally up to the high quality associated with Pal, although are often quite variable.
		The film doesn’t work too badly during the first half and in the launching of the rocket but after that seems to go completely off the deep end.

		Conquest of Space can almost be seen as a continuation of producer George Pal's earlier Destination Moon, but there are some significant differences between the two films.
		Conquest is not a stellar example of sci-fi cinema, but it's decently enjoyable.
		This is the first film I know of that shows this, and a crewman that loses his mind and tries to sabatoge the journey.

		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.
		This film gets one historical thing right; the people who opposed Columbus' voyage did so not because they thought the world was flat (a myth many still believe) but because they thought he was incorrect in his calculations of the earth's circumference, which he was...by an enormous amount.
		An interesting topic observed in the film 1492: Conquest of Paradise is the transcendental encounter among Europeans and the indigenous cultures of America.

	"Conquest Book Lies About 1932-33 Ukraine Famine"
		According to the film, "in less than two years, 10 million people die -- seven million of them in the Ukraine -- three million of them children." 2 According to Conquest, "the number dying in Stalin's war against the peasants was higher than the total deaths for all countries in World War I" (p.
		Conquest's total estimate is 14.5 million "total peasant dead as a result of the dekulakization and famine" (p.301).
		The only evidence Conquest gives for his assertion that the Soviets blockaded all shipments of food to the Ukraine from outside the USSR is also taken from such émigré compilations.

	Film: Master and Commander
		In 1999, the British Film Academy gave Peter Weir the David Lean Award for direction and the comparison is a worthy one.
		Superficially, recent events make the film appear more relevant than it might otherwise have been and the anti-French sentiment may strike a chord in some quarters.
		From another perspective, this is a deeply conservative film, but the essential conflict between the human desire to conquer and the equally powerful need to understand has more universal implications.

	Conquest
		The closest thing in the Fulci filmography to a Cannon film, Conquest tosses in loads of nudity, gore, tacky special effects, furry outfits, and wonky plot twists (the third act doesn’t go anywhere close to where one might expect); however, the sludgy pacing and ridiculously murky photography sabotage much of the fun.
		In short, this film has pretty much zero aesthetic value but will amuse die hard Fulciphiles eager to see how far off the rails the Maestro could possibly go during the most distinguished period of his career.
		Presumably the near-constant diffused lighting, overactive fog machine, and billowing clouds of dust were intended to create a mystical atmosphere; at times the film does pull out a striking visual or two, but for the most part it’s a quite the eyesore.

		The film begins in Tenochtitlan in 1520, and follows the story of Topiltzin, a son of Aztec emperor Moctezuma who is captured by the Spaniards during a raid on a human sacrifice ceremony.
		In order to be spared from execution, the Aztec prisoner is forced to convert to Christianity, leading to the film's title, which refers to the Spanish attempt to conquer the realm of the soul together with the conquest of territory.
		The Other Conquest premiered in Mexico in April 1999 and broke Mexican box office records, becoming the highest grossing Mexican dramatic film at that time and attracting an audience of over one million spectators during its four-month run.

		The director and producers of the film have developed a theme called “Embrace Another Race” which is aimed at promoting multicultural understanding and tolerance.

	The Newman Conquest
		With all the accomplished musicians, conductors and film composers in the family - Alfred, David, Emil, Lionel, Maria, Randy and Thomas - it would be difficult to choose just one.
		Today, as many bemoan a decline in the quality of film music and as collections of pop songs often take the place of orchestral scores, the younger Newmans - particularly Alfred's sons David and Thomas and their cousin, Randy - are seen as stalwart defenders of the struggling art form.
		While many early film composers wrote music that meticulously followed a movie's action, Alfred developed a style that underscored mood more than the specifics of a given scene.

		Set in the 1520s, The Other Conquest travels back in Mexican history to the days of Spanish conquest and colonisation when the Catholic priests were spreading the gospel to the local "heathens" while the soldiers pillaged the countryside.
		The Other Conquest is a true masterpiece, a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a cinematic gem destined to become a classic for all time.
		Apart from being incredibly entertaining, this Mexican film is so moving, thought-provoking, sensitive and illuminating about a subject matter that applies to all human beings (no matter the time and place, social group or ethnic background) that it should become part of the obligatory curriculum in all high schools and colleges of our multicultural nation.
