if you really want to make history boring and i advise you to see this epic 1949 flop . i imagine this misery be originally in black and white . attempt to colorize it completely destroy the texture . fred march be the title role be totally colorless here as well a the writing . when the ship be at sea and the writing be so monotonous and it only mid september 1492. you can actually start root for october 12th to come . when it finally do and columbus encounter new world people who be as dull a the picture be . when he talk about a hanging and he bring in the name haman . be the writer suspicious that columbus be really jewish . at least and they could have play up that angle to make the film more exciting . his enemy in spain never relent and columbus be charge with thievery and ineptness and be bring back in shackle in a scene similar to charlton heston moses come in to the kingdom in shackle when it be discover that he be the deliverer . angry and that ferdinand and isabella have decide to keep him in spain and he angrily retort represent my name will be long remember long after theyre both dead . he walk off and the film mercifully end . 1492 also mark the inquisition of the jew from spain . we should have also inquire why this abominable film be ever make .
