Christopher Columbus: The Discovery
Genoan navigator Christopher Columbus has a dream to find an alternative route to sail to the Indies, by traveling west instead of east, across the unchartered Ocean sea. After failing to find backing from the Portugese, he goes to the Spanish court to ask Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand for help.

The punchline is that the one that lost the least money was CARRY ON COLUMBUS

On this day, we can all agree that Christopher Columbus (colonialist rapist) really sucked. Personally, I think Christopher Columbus (film director) also sucks, but obviously not as much or in the same way.

One of my favourite films, though it bugs me that, at the start of the film, Lovell says ‘Christopher Columbus, Charles Lindbergh and Neil Armstrong.’ I know they still idolized Columbus then, but Lindbergh was NOT the first to fly across the Atlantic. 1/2

neutral · AI labelView post →The first movie was pretty well made regarding pacing the original novel. It was exactly how long it needed to be: Christopher Columbus knew what he was doing. "He we're remaking this look more four and worse and alive like four times as long." "Hey we're remaking to be

neutral · AI labelView post →The funniest idea they came up with was that Pico the Woodworm was the one who came up with the theory that the Earth was round, instead of a cube like Christopher Columbus initially thought in this story. That’s the highlight of this movie. Stay away from it, no matter what language it’s in. (7/7)
neutral · AI labelView post →That was just about the only thing this movie had going for it, a weird combination of Christopher Columbus’ journey to prove the Earth isn’t flat and a fantasy adventure with a woodworm and a fairy and a swarm of insects that forms an entity threatening the fairy realm or something. (3/7)
