Year 1492 (MCDXCII) was a leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar.
1492: Conquest of Paradise is an epic 1992 adventure/drama film directed by Ridley Scott and written by Roselyne Bosch, which tells the fictionalized story of the discovery of the New World by the Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus (Gérard Depardieu) and the effect this had on the indigenous peoples of the Americas.
The film was released by Paramount to celebrate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' voyage.
In the beginning, Columbus is obsessed with making a trip westwards to Asia, but lacks crew and a ship. The Catholic theologians at the University of Salamanca heavily disapprove of it, and they are not keen on ideas that go against the writings of Ptolemaeus. After continuous warnings at the monastery, he becomes involved in a brawl with the monks, ending up lying in the monastery courtyard to pay penance. His eldest son, Diego, one of the monks, looks on disapprovingly. As Columbus continues his penance through a vow of silence, he is approached by Martín Pinzon, a shipowner from Palos, who introduces Columbus to the banker Santángel. Queen Isabella I (Sigourney Weaver) owes money to Santángel. Columbus meets with the queen, who grants him his journey in exchange for his promise to bring back sufficient amounts of riches in gold.
Sir Ridley Scott (born 30 November 1937) is an English film director and producer. Following his commercial breakthrough with the science-fiction horror film Alien (1979), his better-known works are the neo-noir dystopian science fiction film Blade Runner (1982), crime drama Thelma & Louise (1991), historical drama and Best Picture Oscar winner Gladiator (2000), war film Black Hawk Down (2001), crime thriller Hannibal (2001), biographical film American Gangster (2007), and science fiction films Prometheus (2012) and The Martian (2015).
Scott is known for his atmospheric, highly concentrated visual style. Though his films range widely in setting and period, they frequently showcase memorable imagery of urban environments, whether 2nd century Rome (Gladiator), 12th century Jerusalem (Kingdom of Heaven), medieval England (Robin Hood), contemporary Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down), or the future cityscapes of Blade Runner. Scott has been nominated for three Academy Awards for Directing (for Thelma and Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down). In 1995, both Ridley and his brother Tony received the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Contribution To Cinema. In 2003, Scott was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his "services to the British film industry". In 2015, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Royal College of Art in London.
Colonial expansion under the crown of Castile was initiated by the Spanish conquistadores and developed by the Monarchy of Spain through its administrators and missionaries. The motivations for colonial expansion were trade and the spread of the Catholic faith through indigenous conversions.
Beginning with the 1492 arrival of Christopher Columbus and continuing for over three centuries, the Spanish Empire would expand across half of South America, most of Central America and the Caribbean Islands, and much of North America (including present day Mexico, Florida and the Southwestern and Pacific Coastal regions of the United States).
In the early 19th century, the Spanish American wars of independence resulted in the emancipation of most Spanish colonies in the Americas, except for Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were finally given up in 1898, following the Spanish–American War, together with Guam and the Philippines in the Pacific. Spain's loss of these last territories politically ended the Spanish colonization in the Americas.
Sigourney Weaver (born Susan Alexandra Weaver; October 8, 1949) is an American actress and film producer. Following her film debut as a minor character in Annie Hall (1977), she quickly came to prominence in 1979 with her first lead role as Ellen Ripley in Alien. She reprised the role in three sequels: Aliens (1986), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award Best Actress; Alien 3 (1992), and Alien: Resurrection (1997). She is also known for her starring roles in the box-office hits Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters II (1989), and Avatar (2009).
Weaver was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for the 1980 Off-Broadway play Das Lusitania Songspiel, and received a Tony Award nomination for the 1984 Broadway play Hurlyburly. A seven-time Golden Globe Award nominee, she won both Best Actress in Drama and Best Supporting Actress for her work in the 1988 films Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl, becoming the first person to win two acting Golden Globes in the same year. She also received Academy Award nominations for both films. For her role in the 1997 film The Ice Storm, she won the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Additionally, she has received three Emmy Award nominations and won two Saturn Awards.

1492 augusztusának egy hajnalán legénységével, háromárbocos vitorlásával és két kísérőhajójával útnak indult Spanyolországból egy tengerész, hogy bizonyítsa a világnak elméletét. Úgy gondolta ugyanis, hogy létezik egy új, a jártnál jóval rövidebb és biztonságosabb tengeri útvonal a kincseket rejtő Napkelet felé. A hetekig tartó kalandos út során azonban nem jutott el eredeti céljához, hanem egy addig ismeretlennek számító vidékre sodródott, ahol paradicsomi állapotok fogadták, és a különös őslakosok is békésnek tűntek. A viharos életű tengerészt Kolumbusz Kristófnak hívták, a Paradicsom pedig nem volt más, mint Amerika! Az új kontinens felfedezéséről szóló történelmi eposzt Vangelis zenéje és Ridley Scott gyönyörűen megkomponált, szemet gyönyörködtető képei teszik feledhetetlenné!
This has always been one of my favorite music videos however there weren't any high quality versions of it online, so I took shots from the actual film and reedited it while trying to mirror the original 1992 official video as closely as I could. The theme from the 1992 Ridley Scott film "1492 Conquest of Paradise" with Gerard Depardieu, Sigourney Weaver & Armand Assante. Music composed, arranged and performed by Vangelis. I am not making any money off of this channel and all videos/edits are in accordance with copyright/fair use.

O filme foi lançado pela Paramount para celebrar o 500º aniversário da viagem de Colombo. O filme narra a história do navegador genovês Cristovão Colombo. Além de contar os fatos marcantes do descobrimento da América, o diretor mostra Colombo como alguém que está realizando algo grandioso, cumprindo um ritual digno de herói, com um final inusitado. Como, se ele terminou esquecido e foi seu filho que escrevendo uma biografia coloca seu pai no seu verdadeiro lugar na história. Copyright Tele Mün...

Trama L'idea di Colombo di raggiungere la Cina navigando a Occidente è bocciata dagli intellettuali spagnoli, ma un armatore, un banchiere e, finalmente, anche la regina Isabella di Castiglia credono in lui. Dopo un viaggio esasperante, approda a San Salvador, nei Caraibi, e, rientrato in Spagna, annuncia il successo. Tornato nelle Indie Occidentali come vicerè, sogna di costruirvi una civiltà ideale, ma deve fare i conti con l'avidità degli spagnoli che schiavizzano e massacrano gli indios. Recensione Una galleria di quadri impressionisti, una tavolozza cromatica tradotta in sequenze filmiche: 1492 è uno dei film nei quali si sente di più la mano di Ridley Scott, da sempre abile "pittore" di immagini cinematografiche ed esperto narratore. Le variazioni di luminosità e i fenomeni di rifr...
Versão editada do filme, com ênfase nas motivações de Cristóvão Colombo e da Espanha nas navegações que chegaram à América em 1492.
If you were Chris Columbus
Back in 1492
America might be discovered
But not by you
You'd never sail across the sea
To change the world's geography
You'd stay right there
Close to me in 1492
If you were Paul Revere
Way back in 1776
A love like ours might
Put the country in a fix
That horse of yours would still be tied
You'd never take that midnight ride
I'd be cuddling by your side in 1776
If I was Mrs. Bell
We'd need no telephone at all
'Cause I can't hug you, baby
On a long distance call
If I were Mrs. Franklin
You'd throw away your kite
'Cause my, oh, my
How the sparks would fly
When I kissed you every night
If you should build a rocketship
To fly up through the blue
Someone else can be the pilot
No, not you
No matter what the age or time
I'd be yours and you'd be mine
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine
Or 1492
If you should build a rocketship
To fly up through the blue
Well, someone else can be the pilot
No, not you
No matter what the age or time
I'd be yours and you'd be mine
In nineteen hundred and ninety nine
