Viva

Marlon Brando and Jean Peters in 'Viva Zapata' (1952)

Something completely different now. Again it's the backround story that makes you want to look into a famous movie. Also the names guarantee you top quality. Director Elia Kazan was a member of the American Communist Party and that got him into deep shit in the early fifties and along time afterthat. The script is from John Steinbeck, the 1962 Nobel prize winner. Marlon Brando (and James Dean) was the movie hero of the fifties.

Some background:
Viva Zapata is a 1952 biographical film directed by Elia Kazan. The screenplay was written by John Steinbeck, using as a guide Edgcomb Pinchon's book, 'Zapata the Unconquerable', a fact that is not credited in the titles of the film. It is a fictionalized account of the life of Mexican Revolutionary Emiliano Zapata from his peasant upbringing, through his rise to power in the early 1900s, to his death. To give the film as authentic a feel as possible, Zanuck and Kazan studied the numerous photographs that were taken during the revolutionary years, the period between 1909 and 1919 when Zapata led the fight to restore land taken from the people during the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. Kazan was especially impressed with the Agustin Casasola collection of photographs and he attempted to duplicate their visual style in the film. Kazan also acknowledged the influence of Roberto Rosselini's Paisan.

All credits go to JayCam for providing the links. The movie is in .rmvb format, therefore it weights less, but the quality is excellent.
