A Simon Bolivar’s life comes with The Liberator, a film full of good nature scenes, and historical information. Directed by Alberto Arvelo and written by Timothy J. Sexton. The impassioned struggle of Simón Bolívar’s (Édgar Ramírez) fight for independence in Latin America from Spain and his vision of a united South American nation. During 1hr. 59 min. the viewer will enjoy many idealistic characters. A title tells the viewers that it’s 1828. The man hands his sword to one side in a humble manner. Definitely, a film that involves lost love, military heroism, betrayed loyalties and banking (courtesy of poorly developed visitations from Danny Huston as a British moneybags).Simon shows dramatically a real leader inspiring enough — to follow into battle. Many of the sceneries and locations are beautiful and the music is really majestic and well structured by the L.A. Philharmonic’s Gustavo Dudamel adds to the majesty, layering more drama atop this historic drama.
