the first time i saw this flick and i be disappoint while disappointed because i would expect an adventure tale of king soloman proportion and an aladdin cave full of gold and and bloody inca battle in a peruvian jungle set . in hindsight and i should have read the review and because my frame of mind would have be in the right place to enjoy this intense character study . suffice to say on second viewing and i be able to appreciate the quality of the stage bear dialogue and and the precision with which it deliver by both shaw and plummer in their unique portrayal of demi god by any other name . narratively and it a detailed snapshot of pizarro ill fat conquest of the inca and not for the glory of gold and but for the almost sanctimonious obsession with divinity and unparalleled colonialism . in essence and he sign his ticket before he depart spain and promise the world he could never deliver and pursue a pathological indulgence to satisfy his superior ego . there an element of pity in shaw depiction of pizarro and that of a mercenary without a war and unable to adjust to a civilian life . shaw be magnificent a the deeply righteous conquistador whose eloquence in argue secular sovereignty and fail to dominate the simple native lexicon of king atahualpa ( plummer ) and communicate in a basically nonsensical series of click and chirp . if atahualpa can prove he be a god and pizarro will recognise his sovereignty and but if not and both his life and his land of rich antiquity will belong to the kingdom of spain . with michael craig and leonard whiting and nigel davenport in the wing and it an ensemble british cast of true quality and and the performance be first rate . set design and costume and score and script deliver and and while momentum be at time a distinct challenge and if youre not fully engage in the dialogue and the result be likely to be languid in pace and voluble in speak . my initial viewing be such while fortunately and i watch it a second time .
