Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAn important part of the movie is set in the town of Salamanca, being the Main or Major Square (Plaza Mayor) widely relevant. It was actually shot in that very square, although the vegetation shown had to be added as in the moment of shooting the square had none.
- GoofsDespite the high precision with which some key moments in this film are traced, such as the fact that Unamuno used the letter from the widow of the Protestant pastor Atilano Coco to write the draft of his speech, it is not true that Millán Astray bellowed "España Una, Grande, Libre" (Spain One, Great and Free) after the writer's harangue, since this nationalist phrase was not yet pronounced at state events, only at those held by the Falange. He did shout instead patriotic proclamations.
- SoundtracksAve Maria
Composed by Charles Gounod, adapted from [Johann Sebastian Bach's "Prelude N°1 in C major
Sung by Renata Tebaldi
Featured review
This is a very good movie, well-acted, well directed and with a nice photography, but the most important is its message and the reflection it causes.
The movie is about Spain in the 30s, but I see its importance in the actual context I'm living right now in my country as a brazilian.
The people who supports or simply doesn't stand up against fascism are not necessarily fascists as we can see in the main character. The brutality, fanatism and absurd could be right in front of your eyes and you still are not able to see and comprehend it, specially if the context you are living is confusing and complex.
Spain paid a very high price because of this and suffered for 40 years in the hands of a fascist - an upholder for the "good spaniards".
That's a movie that should be shown to people like Miguel de Unamuno before it's too late, like it was for him.
