 Ink and Internet -- Emiliano Zapata   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Born on August 8, 1879, in the village of Anenecuilco, Morelos (Mexico), Emiliano Zapata was of mestizo heritage and the son of a peasant medier, (a sharecropper or owner of a small plot of land).
Nonetheless, Zapata was, as always, cautious and prudent in not arguing for the dismantling of all haciendas but rather for a kind of coexistence between an empowered peasant population and a number of larger plantation owners.
When Zapata's forces occupied Mexico City, the infamy that had preceded him caused many of the city's inhabitants to quake with fear, fully expecting to be brutalized or killed by the savage peasants from the south.

 Viva Zapata!
Although North scored Zapata over five years before Stanley Kubrick approached him to pen Spartacus, Zapata demonstrates a similar compositional mastery, and all of the action cues, as well as the more tender moments foreshadow his later gladiatorial triumph, although the love music never reaches the cluster-driven lushness that characterized the later score.
Zapata, though running just over thirty minutes, makes an unforgettable impression with its vicious action music and seemingly incongruous, yet ultimately gratifying simultaneous meld of dissonance and vibrant melodies, forming one of the most satisfying and moving, yet criminally overlooked listening experiences in all of Hollywood film lore.
As the intensity mounts near the track's conclusion, North briefly interpolates Zapata's four-note motif in a meandering, incongruous impressionistic trumpet fanfare that seems at odds with the rest of the orchestral chaos.

 VIVA ZAPATA! - New York Times
Whatever vague and misty memory the rest of the world may have of Emiliano Zapata, the Mexican Indian who led wild revolts of hungry peasants in the south of his country while Pancho Villa was doing the same in the north, a very strong recollection of him is in the mind of Twentieth Century Fox.
In that studio's "Viva Zapata!," which came to the Rivoli yesterday in as lively a swirl of agitation as has been stirred in quite a time, the Mexican rebel leader, whom Marlon Brando plays, is recalled as a man of savage passion devoted to the poor and the oppressed.

 Alex North, composer - from stage to screen
On returning to the US he studied with Aaron Copland and in Mexico with Silvestre Revueltas (which experience perhaps germinated certain musical ideas for his later score to "Viva Zapata!" featuring some Mexican dances).
Even the original screenplays he worked on seemed to have the intimacy of the stage, and North is quoted as saying that he preferred to write music for this type of film where he could identify with and express the feelings of individual characters.
Additional soundtracks to seek out include "Viva Zapata!" and "The Agony and the Ecstasy" which are available in re-recorded form on CD with Jerry Goldsmith conducting the RSNO.

 DVD.net : Viva Zapata - DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Viva Zapata is the acclaimed dramatisation of the career of the Mexican patriot Emiliano Zapata, the freedom-fighter who strived to rid Mexico of its tyrants, only to find that the new rulers, who had promised so much, were as bad as the old.
Viva Zapata had a huge reputation when it was first screened, perhaps because, in those Red-fearing days, anything smacking of anti-capitalism was seen as hugely daring.
The acting is generally strong, especially from Anthony Quinn as Eufemio, Zapata's brother (an Oscar-winning performance) and from Arnold Moss as Nacio, Zapata's disturbing and disturbed conscience-surrogate companion.

 Movie Review: Viva Zapata | Mountain Xpress | mountainx.com
Despite the fact that Viva Zapata (1952) hardly represents the best work of either writer John Steinbeck, director Elia Kazan or actor Marlon Brando doesn't mean that it's not a worthy endeavor.
Playing Zapata in his (then) stock mumbling "method" style is more distancing than effective -- something that comes across even more when he plays against Anthony Quinn's relaxed naturalism.
The vision of Zapata as a revolutionary who is ultimately disillusioned with the revolution he's fighting for -- as well as the people with whom he must fight it -- now seems like a set-up for Kazan's self-justification for his own actions.

 Viva Zapata! (1952) review by Groucho
The movie focuses on the life of Emiliano Zapata (Marlon Brando) from the moment when he protests against dictator Porfirio Díaz (Fay Roope), along with other peasants, to the moment when he reaches a power beyond anyone’s (certainly his own) expectations.
Zapata isn’t for a moment portrayed as a deity or a better man than anyone else, but only as a determined man whose convictions are stronger and more important than anything else in his life.
Zapata’s legend emphasizes the idea that a man’s conviction can be stronger than any oppressing force, and that’s exactly what’s shown here, through Zapata and later his followers.

 Viva Zapata! - Rotten Tomatoes
Branded an outlaw after helping Mexican peasants reclaim their stolen land, Emiliano Zapata (Brando) retreats into the mountains with his brother Eufemio (Quinn).
Then Zapata's love interest takes priority over his revolutionary activities, as he courts Josefa, who refuses his offer of marriage because he's poor and lacks standing in the community.
For all its shortcomings, Zapata remains a vital work that has a curious resonance today in light of Kazan's subsequent decision to "name names" for HUAC.
