First before doing anything read the Davis, and Rosenstone article and understand the criteria for assessing the historical authenticity or worthiness of historical films
QUESTION
Drawing on the lecture, the methodology readings, and the assigned readings in this module, assess the historical worthiness, or the historical authenticity of the film “Aguirre, the Wrath of God”. Does this film represent the dark side of colonisers and colonialism through the microhistory of the antihero Aguirre, his mutiny, and his failure to find “El Dorado”?
Consider the filmic representations of Aguirre and other various notable characters in the film; the relations between these characters; the representation of their values; the representation of the major colonial issues of the time; colonial relations between the Europeans and the indigenous peoples.
Does the film capture the “soul of the period” (see N. Davis article for definition)? Explain how and why? Does the film as a whole make any contributions to advance our historical knowledge of colonialism? Explain how and why it does this. Or, does the film mislead us by an inaccurate or distorted representation of historical characters and events? Explain how and why. Support your answer with concrete analysis of the filmic representations of characters, relations, values, issues, actions or events, as well as by information from the lecture, and the assigned readings.
