Macao - Progress and Monuments

Running 6m, Macao - Progress and Monuments (1923) is a film in the 123movies catalog. Manuel A. Amor directs. The film shows the development of the Chinese city while highlighting the Portuguese presence: the official buildings, personalities of the colonial administration. The bust of the great poet Luis de Camões recalls the epic discoveries and the glory of navigators. The director observes the Chinese people, their activities, their hobbies. He seems fascinated and, perhaps in spite of himself, shows us a very dynamic Chinese city where the Portuguese seem to be tourists.
