1492: Conquest of Paradise - The bell scene

Показать описание

An amazing scene from "1492 - Conquest of Paradise", the 1992 movie by Ridley Scott about the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus. Starring Gerard Depardieu, Armand Assante and Sigourney Weaver, with a great music score by the greek composer Vangelis.

"My dear sons,
in unbearable heat, we are building the first city of the New World. I brought the plans of a Florentine architect, Leonardo da Vinci. God willing, we will establish his ideal city. We are trying to adapt
to the Indian diet. Meat is only a memory for us. But in less than a week, the mill will be ready to produce our first flour. Soon, we'll be eating our own bread. Never again will I underestimate its taste or the simple comfort of home.
You are always in my thoughts.
Forever, your Father."

Vangelis is unique. It makes the soul rise in astral. One of the only composers to make me tear when I listen.

Ignore the critics and the ignorant masses: this is one of the best movies of the '90s

1:17 The sound of this bell marks beginning of first European settlement in the New World! Very emotional way of portraying this magnificent event ! Outstanding music by Vangelis ...

Despite the historical inaccuracies present in the movie, the music, cinematography, and costumes were 💯

One of Ridley Scott's lesser known movies which was a flop at the cinema which was a shame because it's a good movie with a great score by vangelis, aptly demonstrated in this memorable scene.

I don’t care what the critics say. Despite his accent, Gerard Depardieu plays the role of Columbus so smashingly, you forget he is French. Ridley Scott’s vision and Vangelis’s score are so paramount that this fictitious take on history is a thrill ride.

Vangelis being a masterclass in music, like always. Shame this piece was not released with the film soundtrack. 0:45 when the music picks up and the chorus follows suit is just amazing.

Βαγγέλη, ήσουν μια μουσική ιδιοφυία. Αναπαύσου εν ειρήνη. Ένας συμπατριώτης σου και κοντοχωριανός σου.

SO EPIC, BEACUSE IS MORE EPIC TO BUILD AND CREATE THAN TO DESTROY AND TO HACK

yeah the score to the film match every scene .Ridley Scott made a good choose by using Vangelis obviously he worked with Ridley on other film such as blade runner
