Movie Reviews of Quilombo
Movie Review: Brazilian Spartacus Depicted in Dazzling Colors and Music
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on true events, I thought this film was unforgettable. It depicts a charismatic Black leader in 17th century Brazil who persuades the slaves to revolt and move to the uplands to build villages free from contact with the white Portuguese. Another central theme is the contrast between the empty faith of (some of) the missionaries versus the vibrant religion of the tribal peoples. Of course, the idea of resistance to tyranny is depicted in many films; but those things which make "Quilombo" different are the spectacular costumes, paints, music, and dance. The photography of Brazilian landscapes is similarly splendid. Few films are such a treat for the senses. I am delighted that the VHS version was finally converted to a DVD.Movie Review: Fight NOW and Die Brave or Live Life Later As A Slave!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was spectacular!!! It was encouraging to know and see slave revolts that lead to triumph for the African people. It depicts a historical account and illustrates to the viewers that not all Africans layed down and allowed themselves to be conquered.
