@MrBezubezu The filmmakers were originally going to make the colonists Spanish, but the Spanish government complained, so they changed it to Portuguese, even though they didn't actually change the language.
and Marlon Brando should be shot every time he opened his mouth to pull off an accent. or decapitated. or have his tong removed in an very painful way
@selfidentity1 The metaphor is to teach you the truth behind revolutions and how we think we are free, but we are not. Instead of being slaves on a plantation and having rent and food paid for, we must pay our own expenses and we are debt slaves through taxes. It is cheaper that way for slave owners, and slaves don't rebel when they think they are free.
Cartagena de Indias is a fascinating location with such wonderful history and contrasts.
This film involved the whole city in 1968 and during this year Brando and most of the crew lived in this magical city where they left incredible stories behind, like the story of Evaristo Marquez a great talent found by Pontecorvo and one of those curious episodes that conform the Colombian film history.
Esta pelicula es una mala copia del Spagetty Western SALARIO PARA MATAR /IL MERCENARIO/A PROFESSIONAL GUN que es mucho mejor aunque no se si lo saben muchos cinefilos babosos.
La historia del palenquero Evaristo Marquez, la coestrella de Marlon Brando es increible y uno de tantos pasajes insolitos del cine en Colombia. Cartagena de Indias es un escenario cinematografico exquisito a la talla de los mejores a nivel mundial.
No hay que ser tan estupido,este NO es un tema de socialismo,es como las potencias han usado este mecanismo para dividir a la gente de cada pais para luego dominarlo, lo hicieron la antigua Roma en cada provincia conquistada,los rusos sovieticos en europa oriental,USA en Irak.
@Hemulen40 Is that not the most honest look on somones face before executing an assassination? Somehow Brando conveyed fear, doubt, and determination all in but a few seconds of screen time before pulling the trigger...genius.

One of the greatest movies I've ever seen. From the director of "The Battle of Algiers." I think Brando may have referred to this as his greatest film. It's a masterpiece. "Burn!"
brando, in his autobiography called the director a racist; the director treated the locals like dirt, and he and the italian crew had all their food imported.
It would seem highly unlikely considering that Pontecorvo's principal protagonists were either black, Arab or Jewish, depending on the film. I do know Brando and Pontecorvo both hated working with each other although after the film was released Brando contacted Pontecorvo in order to work together again. Pontecorvo reminded him of how awful their experience together had been in "Burn!" I'll check out the autobiography.
page 325: "...the food he was giving the black extras cost less. Then i learned that he wasn't paying the black extras as much as the white extras, and when i confronted him about it, he said that if he did the white extras would rebel.....ok, i said, then i'm going home. i won't be a part of this....altho he raised the pay for the black extras and briefly gave them better food, i discovered after a few days that they were still not being fed the same meals as the europeans working on" film.
on pages 327 and 328 brando relates how a little boy was sick, vomiting, and director didn't care, was interested in finishing the scene. brando, page 328: i called a doctor and told him to get to the set as fast as he could...when gillo returned from lunch, i was steaming and so was he because i had sent the boy away." ....liberal, including communist, actors and directors are as phoney as any conservative politician. peace.
I am looking for the English .srt (subtitle) files from the original Italian version which had more political content - if anyone knows where I can find these, contact me!
Wow, this movie is fucking inaccurate...and people give Walker shit?

if you like this look up Quilombo. Its about slaves who revolted and became part of a free society of ex slaves and what happened to them. Very cool.
