      This is the real epic

      I have seen many films, and a considerable number of them have epic qualities, but only this one really depicts the greatness of the hero: wisdom, kindness and bravery. Compared with other films, there is more wisdom and bravery, but lack of kindness and lack of tension in the hero. The scenes and music are very majestic and enjoyable!
      The downside is that due to the limitations of the times, the film is influenced by the stage play, and many scenes that should be shown are passed by, and...

      Cid: Born in History, Died in Battlefield, Shining on Epic

      In AD 1043, the Spanish peninsula was relatively peaceful, except that Ramiro I of Aragon failed to attack the kingdom of Pamplona. For the Spanish Thai-French era, which had been in war for decades, the Muslims in the south at this time. The country has many Thais led by Toledo, Seville, and Badajoz, and the north is the Christian country led by Pamplona and Leon Castilla. It has been hundreds of years since Tariq of the Arab Empire (the name of the Strait of Gibraltar is...

      It's hard not to be moved by such a hero - that hero and his love

      Good-looking, very good-looking, very good-looking, important things are said three times. I didn't expect it to be so good before I saw it, and I thought it would be very long, but it turned out that it was over in three hours without realizing it. Maybe because the original version of El Cid is too old, there will inevitably be a gap between the times, and the hero theme is easy to appear panelized. But this version has improved these problems very well, made a larger adaptation of the...

      the director said

      "Cid" is a masterpiece of famous Hollywood director Anthony Mann in the 1960s. Anthony Mann was born in San Diego on June 30, 1907, and died on April 29, 1967. Like Howard Hawks, he belongs to the outstanding traditional American director. He is good at narration, and can tell a story like "Cid" with many characters, complex plot, and large time span clearly and fascinatingly. Since 1950, he has shot dozens of classic westerns, such as "Decoy", "Westerner", "Blood in the Desert", "Plain...

      what is a hero

      What qualities does a person have to be a hero? At the beginning, El Cid risked treason to release the Moors, and the other party said: "In my country, we have a name for a warrior with the vision to be just and the courage to show mercy. We call him the cid!"

      El Cid He is a rectal boy who is a bit unreasonable. He angered and stabbed his lover's father to death, and challenged the king's lies. These have long been the heroic image of him. It is also destined to be a victory for him...

    • El Cid: [to the king, who refused Muslim aid] You risk having no Spain at all!

    • El Cid: Our dream was short.

      Jimena: I know. There is no place hidden for a man like you. There must be thousands who would gladly part. Why you? Why me?

      El Cid: Please, let me carry away an image of you smiling.

      Jimena: It would be a lie. I will beseech God with my prayers. I will tell Him He must bring you back to me. I must tell God how much I need you.

      El Cid: Then we *will* see each other again.

    • Jimena: Can you forgive me, Rodrigo?

      El Cid: Jimena.

      Jimena: Would you take me with you?

      El Cid: But... now I... have nowhere to take you.

      Jimena: As long as we are together it will not be nowhere. I love you Rodrigo. I love you.

      [They kiss]

      El Cid: You know what you risk if you come with me, my love?

      Jimena: Since my love is not a man like other men my life with not be like other lives.

      El Cid: It's only now, only know that I know... how hard the road would have been without you.

      [They kiss again]
