bought this and it was a great film with great quality. Its not HD or Blueray, but I can live with it.
Rating:  -
No opening credits on this abysmal Korean import version. I didn't get any further than that. Default Korean subtitles, and all menu options are in Korean. This disc will be taking up space in my garbage can, not my disc rack.

I am fully satisfied with the quality of the DVD. The digital remastering was also excellent. I would advise anyone seeking a DVD of this film to purchase this copy. You will not be disappointed.
As for the film itself, I believe that it is self-explanatory, absolute genius. It is my contention that this is Marlon Brando's finest performance. This film also has Anthony Quinn's finest Academy Award performance as well. It is a must have. Brando's performance is an incarnation of the revolutionary spirit of Emiliano Zapata. Arguably, it is the best historical biographical film in the class of Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia", Glenville's "Becket",and Attenborough's "Gandhi".

I was very happy to see this film which I first saw with my Dad back in the 50s. It still holds up as a powerful story about passion and devotion to a cause and to the power of charismatic leadership. I was only disappointed to see that the final symbolic image of Zapata's white horse running free in the hills, had been left off and the film abruptly terminated. Oh well.

The review by 'Maxi' shows the value of movies like "Viva Zapata". Most people, Americans, have very little knowledge of important moments in the history of our neighbors to the south. Or Canada for that matter. Brando, as his usual brooding self is outshone by Anthony Quinn. Nobody plays a Mexican better than Mr Quinn. The storyline is fairly close to the true historical life of the title character. I've seen several Mexican movies about Zapata but I like this one better. Mostly for the production values I think.
For years, on the radio, I listened to "La Hora National" They had 1/2 hour plays about historical events from the past. I wish that we had something like that. It pays be aware of historical events that developed the character of our neighbors. I'd like our people to be more informed about heros from our past, too. Most Mexicans, even after many years of living here, are still Mexican at heart. This is a very good movie about a worthwhile subject.
