You may watch below of Magellan, the upcoming adventure biography drama history movie written and directed by Lav Diaz and starring Gael García Bernal, Ângela Azevedo, Amado Arjay Babon, Dario Yazbek Bernal, Hazel Orencio, Ronnie Lazaro, Tomás Alves, Bong Cabrera, Rafael Morais, and Roger Alan Koza:

MAGELLAN

Plot synopsis:
“16th century. Magellan (Gael García Bernal), a young & ambitious Portuguese navigator, rebels against the power of the King, who doesn’t support his dream of discovering the world. He persuades the Spanish Crown to fund his bold expedition across to the fabled lands of the East. The voyage is exhausting beyond expectations, with hunger and mutiny pushing the crew to their limits. Upon reaching the islands of the Malayan Archipelago, Magellan’s mind changes. He becomes obsessed with conquest & conversion, which sparks violent uprisings beyond his control. This is not the myth of Magellan, but the truth of his vicious journey.”

It is an interesting movie, but I feel like they’re judging Magellan using modern standards. Is there some agenda they are trying to promote?

Anyway, a few official film posters
