Untitled[edit]

What a tragedy !! What a waste of Genius !! 1492 remains among the greatest films ever made !! A masterpiece that will live on as a cult 200 years from now !! 86.179.204.166 (talk) 20:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong place for the city[edit]

"They begin to build the city of San Salvador and eventually manage to hoist the town bell into its tower, symbolising the arrival of Christianity in the New World." - This is incorrect, both historically and in the film. Columbus never founded a city on San Salvador. The city he founded in the film and in history is La Isabela, on Hispaniola. SchnitteUK (talk) 17:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Historical accuracy[edit]

I think there should be a small section concerning the disparity between the movies depiction of Columbus and the latest historical research on his person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.134.186.251 (talk) 05:39, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. There are big discrepancies between the movie character and the real historical figure, and they should be pointed out, as the film tries to be a historical account.

The article says that the movie is fiction. So, where is the historical account you mentioned? 173.86.35.209 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:05, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Production[edit]

The entire Production section is kind of garbage. It says that it is sourced to some untraceable packet handed out by the film studio (and therefore is not a neutral source, anyway). Is anyone else concerned about this level of standards? If anything, taking much of this pressbook material verbatim borders on WP:COPYVIO. - AppleBsTime (talk) 21:00, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@AppleBsTime: Yes, and I removed the section before I noticed your post here. -- John of Reading (talk) 11:38, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
