Help[Opinions] Re: Weldon, Hilton, Chester (ETA)
in reply to a message by Bear
Yeah, Aguirre, Wrath of God was a movie based on a book based on a true story. I haven't seen it but my dad has told me about it--joking that we're the descendants of this bloodthirsty conquistador who drove his troops to death. I think in the place he died they sprinkled the field over with salt so nothing would ever grow there. Which is one reason I think it would make a badass FN. Lol.

I didn't know it was based on a true story. Neat. I love movies based on real history.
Sowing salt over the fields where he died reminds me of Hannibal. The ancient Romans did that to his home Carthaginian (sp?) fields (although I don't think that's where he died.) I've always liked the name Hannibal as well. Darn that stupid movie for ruining it for a generation.
Sorry if I'm getting off topic here.
