The Story of Fernão Mendes Pinto could be one of the greatest Hollywood stories if well produced and spinned. This one was made by Portuguese filmmakers, with obvious financial limitations.
Even so, the movie is almost unwatchable, as it is boring, poorly produced, and with parts of monologues and a few dialogues which are completely uninteresting unless you are an historian.
The only interesting thing is the added music, which resembles the style of musician Fausto, and can easily take us back to the 1500s and the struggles of the Portuguese during the carreira da India. The main actor was also good and is not to blame for this terrible cinematic piece.
To sum up, reading the book is 10000x more enjoyable.
