This film is not just a historical film that touches base with many art house cinematographies, but its scholarship is of interest in many educational arenas. What I took from this film was not just the insight of the bare truth of the Conquest era, but it shadows the truth of wealth distribution in the world. The Spaniard controlled, conquered, and created their own society by eliminating many cultures that were present back in the day. It was the start of Capitalism, I would say. Like the Conquest era, British colonialism also played a major role in creating poverty in the world. This film is not just a history of what had happened in Latino History, but also explains why in the modern 21st century we have such a big gap between rich and poor. The bourgeoisies around the world had the wealth in order to maintain dominance and wealth for generations. It was truly an intellectually crafted art house cinema.

What's the best way for better understand a complex history? If you are lucky, you can find a movie which about the history you are studying. The movie La Otra Conquista is the best choose for anyone who are interested in the history of North America.This movie intuitive described lot of bloody scenes, for example, in this movie, the open scene is the great temple Massacre Introduces the protagonist in 1520 the extinction of aggression that Spanish Empire did to Mexico, then Mexico was conquered by Spanish. By the main theme "human can be destroyed but not defeated" to perspective the religious. One of the impressive scenes was Diego admitted how Topiltzin's felt for the religion. Another one was the scene when Diego called the Mother Goddess statue. Both of these scenes in this movie emphasis that both Virgin Mary and Mother Goddess are the keys of these two religion, but in the end, they both give up something for salvation and accepted each other's religion by accepting their religious goddesses.

The Other Conquest brings the audience into a history of that has barely been viewed before. To see the truth that has been hiding behind the curtain of propaganda and historical reality gives the audience a true insight into the lives and struggles upbringing of the Mexico nation. Beginning the film with the aftermath of the horrendous slaughter was an eye opening and gut wrenching glimpse to the start of Topiltzin's story. The audience comes into realization of the fact that the Spanish unfairly conquered Aztecs similar to the British conquering the native Americans. The religious aspect covered in the film was an eye-opening display of forced beliefs. Reflecting on that, I have a certain belief system and if someone tried forcing another belief would be catastrophic to my family and my entire religious community. Topiltzin is ultimately destroyed by the conflicting belief system that he is forced to embrace.

La Otra Conquista is a very captivating film the audience follows the journey of Topilztin who is the son of Emperor of Moctezuma. Topiltzin is an Aztec Indian who experiences along with other Aztec Indians the invasion of the Spanish and them taking control of the Indians . Which sets the premises of the film because the audience is watching through the Aztecs perspective on how they were forced into converting to a different religion and change their way of living. The reason why this film is so incredible is because its giving the viewer an opportunity to see history in one perspective which is from the side of the Indians, its giving awareness that the Indians were treated inhumane based on the fact the Spanish viewed them as being inferior. This film really makes you think about humanity and how people can be treated horrific in the world and it can be over looked. An interesting aspect this film reveals, is how much a person will depend on religion to be their guidance. For instance, when the protagonist character Topiltzin is being forced to accept Catholicism he finds a love in the Statue of Virgin Mary but not because he made the decision to accept Catholicism its because he it so attach to his religion and the mother figure statues it has, that he is no longer able to distinguish between the two statues that symbolize a mother figure. In addition, La Otra Conquista is purely authentic the cinematography is shot at the actual monuments with a great amount of details, also the language Nahuatl is the main language spoken through the film along with Spanish. Anyone can see the director Salvador Carrasco put all his passion into creating this film and it is clearly shown through out the entire film.
