Rating: - Beautiful
This 1986 masterpiece is one of the few movies that demostrates what God/Nature is asking from each of us. To love one another. Still today politics is so far more important..so they think it is.
This movie is touching, loving, and shows how much one person can help so many people.

Rating: - Two empires of the past
This film is curious, because it deals and recounts some adventures and confrontations of Spain and Portugal, the two powers that dominated the World before England and USA. A theme little treated as expensive productions as this aren logically interested in plots generally happening in the USA.
To show this we see two or three prototypes of men that actually existed at these times but I think not abundant today in either the two countries, with the common citizen working hard in pursuit of a ... Read More
