Answers
- Baja California, Mexico. I have a feeling this was meant to explain why Fassbender could understand Spanish, although they never really acknowledge that this might be necessary … this movie is a true mess.
- He murdered someone. But wait … it was a pimp. Ta da! See, now you don’t have to feel bad for rooting for him. He just murdered a pimp … wait a second, is that better? Not really! That’s still murder!
- The first time involves the attempted rescue of the Prince of Grenada who has been discovered hiding out in a Spanish village. After being captured, the second involves his daring escape from his public burning as part of the Inquisition. And finally, the recovery of the Apple of Eden which was being protected by the Sultan and was to be handed over to the eeeeeeeeevil Templar Priest, Tomas de Torquemada, in exchange for the Prince’s life! I honestly cannot believe I remembered all that. This movie is supremely confusing not to mention boring.
- Easy one, but they are father and daughter. Which I guess is why Cotillard has kind of a faux-British accent going on the whole time.
- It was given to Christopher Columbus who was instructed to take it to his grave. He took this literally instead of doing the logical thing (throwing the Apple into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean), and they easily recovered the Apple in Madrid from Columbus’ tomb.
Naturally like a stealthy assassin Jamie snuck in and scored perfectly. I think in the sequel they should reveal that Fassbender has a twin brother, who can also access his ancestor Aguilar’s memories! Oh what hijinx the Animus will get into this time!?
