This movie is here, first and foremost because it is the movie I am in. I appear at various places in the Battle of Alcácer Quibir scene. I am recognizable at two separate occasions, very briefly. One, is behind the second Christian cannon. A figure in folded shorts with a beard commanding the cannon. Two, is in the third row of the Adventurers Tercio. Movie script determines first row is wiped out by Moorish artillery fire. And second row throw themselves on the ground. That's when I show up holding the line with my pike on the far right of the screen. I think with some screen resolutions I even get out of picture. Battle, better known internationally as Battle of the Three Kings, starts at 1h 5m 45s. English subtitles on this version, although sometimes I don't know what the subtitles are "talking" about.
The movie itself has some interesting philosophical ideas and reviews some episodes of the Portuguese history. It is all for intelectual digestion, nothing for massed entertainment...
