realistic portrayal of the effects of colonization
15 December 2011
The Other Conquest is a realistic portrayal of the religious disputes that occurred between Aztecs and Spanish conquistadors. I think it is great that a native Aztec actor played the native Aztec character; that is not something we see every day. I find its success to be inspiring in the sense that a movie with this particular subject matter does not usually see a lot of success in Hollywood. The movie was very well-made and quite well-acted. The locations that were shot were very beautiful. I also appreciated that the female character in the film was actually independent and had a voice. In conclusion, I thought that this film was very interesting and I would recommend it to anyone who cares about history.
