@perseopenelope absolutamente verdadero lo que dices. Esta pellicula merecias muchos màs

[perseopenelope]

@cordobecita22 Sin duda una de las mejores escenas del cine de todos los tiempos una sincronización perfecta entre actuación y la música casi celestial de Enio Morricone. Que ironia que esta película jmasa ganara ni un solo Oscar ni un solo GLobo de Oror y tampoco este mencionada entre los mejores 100 films de todos los tiempos. Que mas da acaso a Borges le dieron alguna vez el Novel?? y quien dice que no fue grande entre los grandes.Yo tb la vista una y otra vez.

@Hollololoway nice query. i'm gessing u'r being retorical, but if not then my take is that rodrigo's first reaction is dan it: u threw away my stuff! It's MY burden, dam it. mine! i pulled it up yur dang cliff. I accomplished some thing big, but then, suddenly it dawns on him his burden--and the 'accomplishment' of dragging it up the clifff is worthless, esp to his ded brothr & ded/enslaved/bereft indians. Crist's sacrifice is worthy and makes them worthy -- and makes them bold to forgive. cool?

Watch and learn

If only actors in real life were as noble and heroic as the people they portray. Only a few. Ricardo Montalban, and maybe Gary Cooper. Who else? Not many.

[Hollololoway]

um why does Rodrigo end up in tears after being cut free from his burden of penance?

The hardest form of forgiveness is the ability to forgive yourself.

How De Niro was never nominated for an Oscar for this film astounds me. It did win an Oscar for Best Cinematography.

The music by Morricone is as important as the excellent acting. At 1:24 and following, the

music is heartbreakingly poignant.
