It wasn't you, you killed by Lapulapu, the first to surround me

"Magalhaes" explains the delusion of Fernão de Magalhães, born in Porto, who had much to do with conquerors, dominators, explorers, exploiters, enlightened navigators like Lope de Aguirre, Fritzcarraldo, Hernán Cortés, Diego de Ibarra or Pascual de Andoyagarem.

Signed by Lav Diaz, the most outstanding Filipino filmmaker, produced by Albert Serra, one of the most unspeakable authors around us, and mounted by Artur Trot, unparalleled on many continents, Gael García Bernal, who, in addition to becoming an actor at the School of Speech and Drama in London, learned English, French and Portuguese, presented in Cannes and awarded in Valladolid, the film Magalhaes has just reached a number of rooms that are not afraid of great bets, which deserve quotes and praise.

The film explains the delusion of Fernão de Magalhães, born in Porto, which related to conquerors, dominators, explorers, exploiters, enlightened navigators like Lope de Aguirre, Fritzcarraldo, Hernán Cortés, Diego de Ibarra or Pascual de Andoyagarem.

In that sixteenth century, both Spain and Portugal wanted to take over the world. The world and all its possessions. They believed that God was at their side. They believed that at that time all the inhabitants of all known lands should be Christian. They wished to destroy the Moors, to destroy the power of every fine trader in Venice or Genoa, and to make deals with spices as precious as gold.

In many cases, don't think, they wanted revenge on the kings of their own countries...

In the film Magalhaes, Juan de Elcano does not appear, although he is one of the captains of Fernão. He, the son of Getaria, took power when Lapulapu, the chief of the Philippines, believed himself superior to all the others.

Proud, boastful, believing that God was by his side, the Portuguese wanted to conquer the people of Mactan with few soldiers. They were confronted by 1,500 noble local warriors, and it was over. He found the passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.

He was appointed captain of Getaria. He completed his first tour of the world. That is why his shield still reads thephrase "Primus Circumdedisti Me", the first to surround me.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, you don't taste any species in that piece of celluloid. No, it's not good in the movie.

But there is a treasure celluloid that leaves our eyes, our bowels, our soul, our thoughts in the air, trembling.
