Armand Assante's character arc is truly one of the gems of this movie. He went from doubting Columbus, downplaying his importance, even working against him, to eventually seeing the errors of his ways and truly realizing the greatness of what Columbus has achieved in the very end of the movie.

That smile and delivery when he says "All of them built by people like me" is probably the greatest "BURNNNNNN" comeback ever.

This scene is powerful, and at the end Sanchez learn to respect Columbus.

"A waste? Well, if your name or mine is ever remembered it will only be because of his"! What a great line! This movie is the definition of "underrated movie": Great perfomances glorious soundtrack and a very interesting script!

Nobody knows who Sanchez was, but every person alive knows who Columbus was.

One of his best soundtracks ever made by Vangelis. RIP Vangelis. Greetings Dirk Belgium.

The Vangelis soundtrack is extraordinary indeed.

"Nothing that results in human progress is achieved with unanimous consent."

I never understood why this film got a bad rep I mean Braveheart for example is incredibly historically inaccurate, but has a massive following. Sitting aside the inaccuracies i still thought this film was really good.

Because this film was released when Americans had just started to self-flagellate themselves for the sins of their ancestors.

I dont care how good or bad the story, screenplay, direction or editting... Armand Asante is awesome in everything. He devours the screen with passion.

A masterpiece in all cinema!

There wouldn’t be a new world without Colombus, he believed in it, and he did it, he made it to the new world. Although he wasn’t the first to reach the Americas, he was the first to reach the new world. He did it, I’m glad he has the credit for it in modern day.

Arnand Assante...

In the second 0:41 the current city of Segovia appears, which the Catholic Monarchs actually lived in during the events of Christopher Columbus

In case there's any confusion, the discovery may have been Columbus', but the navigation of the entire continent earned Amerigo Vespucci the naming in the early 1500's. Granted there are major inconsistencies with his logs, charts and manuscripts,..but the naming was largely a politically facilitated slap to Columbus. The First takes all the risk,..then the charlatans appear in droves. Always the way.

The Vikings were the first to discover the Americas, some 500 years earlier. Columbus himself, during his lifetime, was certain that he had gone to India and not a new continent.

There is something about the passion of Spaniards (don't be fooled by my nickname). Watching this and Alatriste.....Sanchez's perfomance throughout the movie is magnificient as is Olivares'. Also there is something about this language that is savage and commands respect.

A group of vikings landed there, yes. Never returned back to tell others. Their likes never colonised it. So in effect discovery was for them, on that trek, and them alone. Columbus however, even if he didnt know he discovered a new land mass, he ushered in the beginning of the biggest land migration from one continent to another in human history. To which we still feel the reporcussions today. That's why that moment eclipses all other moments, I would argue in all of human history. Columbus 1492 was that moment.

@@blayzertrayl8929 Of course they returned, they returned back to Iceland. This has been scientifically proven with DNA, mitochondrie. A tiny group of native Icelanders share a common mitochondrial DNA with natives of US, meaning vikings took a woman with them and she had a daughter etc

in my opinion, Columbus is more "Moses" for Christianity than what is being portrayed in the scene. by the way, the fall of Granada scene(?) where Columbus meets the Spanish Queen for the first time, is the movie implying that the Spanish plundered Granada to fund Columbus' expedition? or am i letting my imagination fill in the blank?

Not only loot, but also the fact that te state is at peace. Which means no war, saving the state a lot of money which could be spent on other things.

Depardieu's enunciation, in this scene, is quite poor.
