This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is How Movies Should Be Made

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This film was a perfect example of how life could've been when the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs. Hardly any directors of recording artists have gotten into this topic or group. I doubt that they ever will because this topic doesn't really interest anybody, only the Mexicans and the descendants. The film goes into depth on how the Spaniards conquered our land and just slaughtered our race. They slaughtered our race so they can get our people to believe in a new faith, The virgin Mary. The Aztecs didn't want to stop making sacrifices, and didn't want to stop talking to their gods. The Spaniards considered them as dehumanized creatures and i agree because people have to have logic in order to survive. I recommend this film to those who are interested in the Mexican culture.

In the film "the other conquest , we can clearly understood what is love and what is belief. Also this film can let you understood the history of North American. Most people may consider that this film is talking about religion, but I don't think that is the subject of this film. I think the Virgin's of Gualalupe is just a symbol, she doesn't belong to any religion, When the main character loves the photo, that show us that the main character not feel along , because the photo is his belief---- about his family and his home town.Also this movie described lot of bloody scenes, such as, at the beginning of this open sense is the great temple Massacre Introduces the protagonist in 1520 the extinction of aggression that Spanish Empire did to Mexico, then Mexico was conquered by Spanish. I am a international student, this film can make me understand North American history . I will bring this film to china , to let more people to know it .

First off, I have never been a huge fan of historical films. Not to say I don't appreciate history or the facts which bring us to present day, it's just rare that a storyline of one combined with the film itself are as intriguing and captivating as they are enlightening. After watching "La Otra Conquista", I have changed my opinion entirely. As a courageous endeavor to share the true story of the Aztec peoples, this film is one that touches the heart and mind equally. Being raised in a Mexican family, I am ashamed to say I never knew the history of the Aztec people. What they are unwilling to teach you in school is exactly what this film exposes, and what makes it so triumphant. The lead character, Tomas, played by Damien Domingo, is not only captivating, but so truthful in emotion and dialogue. Though tough to watch at times, "The Other Conquest" plows it's way through the harsh realities that the Indians faced while being disband, enhancing what is a horrific story with beautiful cinematography, impressive production and costume design, and intense, unforgettable moments of brutality that have you in tears and in hope simultaneously. Needless to say, I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking to expand their reach, not only into foreign, but wonderful filmmaking.

After seeing this movie and reading about the history of making it, I have entirely change my view of many things. I saw the movie without any knowledge of either the indigenous people in Mexico or the history behind the concurring. At first, I did not feel any connection towards the movie of which I judged negatively and compared it to other "regular Hollywood" movies. I simply found the movie pretty boring. However, after knowing more about the concurring and the reasons of making it from Carrasco, I realized that this was a movie that also lives on behind the screen. This movie actually opened my eyes and made me read more about the concurring and indigenous people who had suffered during that time. It's a really interesting historical event that I would not have known about if not seeing this movie. It's rare to find a movie that makes oneself think of the brutal world as The Other Conquest do.
