film like oil painting

At first I paid attention to this film because of my Spanish complex. The one who learned Spanish, which seemed to be halfway through, and a curiosity about the country's history and culture. I remember that my Spanish teacher once said in class that he chose Spanish because he discovered that the country had changed dozens of monarchs in just a few hundred years. It seems to be in a state of perpetual war. Those little nations were once unrivaled maritime hegemons. If I remember correctly, Spanish is now the third most spoken language in the world. Only after watching this movie did I realize what kind of scene lies behind these scenery. War, heroism, religion, conspiracy, betrayal, beauty, morality, conscience. Although it can't be called an epic strictly, it really alludes to that period of history.

Mercenaries, as the name suggests, are those who work for others to make a living. No money, no status, no dignity. Dilgore, with his stubborn character, earned himself a reputation as a warrior in the country. Even though he was arrogant, he still had to bow his head in front of noble princes, because he was just a low-level warrior. He saved the Count just by winning a chance, but this could not change the fate. His love is worthless in the face of money and power. When he exchanged the shackles given by the king for the necklace, and hurried to Maria's house to give it to her, he did find that there was a man in the house of his beloved woman, and he was not a king who was above others. What an irony. His adopted son Inig faces the same fate. The childhood sweetheart Angelica originally planned to run away with him, but finally gave up their promise for her future and the noble status of her descendants. From that eager and firm step to the back step by step, what you can see is an extremely pale and indifferent face. Fate also gave them their respective punishments. Maria, who could only be veiled in the syphilis hospital, and Countess Angelica, who was in tears all day, eventually paid the price for what they got.

The picture is well handled and the style of the film is as serene as an oil painting. The effect of those delicate light penetrating slowly makes me feel as if I see Goya's canvas. The most impressive part of Maria's appearance is gorgeous. A side turn, a white dress in the gray tone, golden flowing hair, a smile raised at the corner of his mouth, beautiful and solemn. The propaganda slogan said that this is a rare multi-billion-dollar production film in Spanish history.

Watching this movie requires a little historical background, a little patience and some understanding to finish it. There are also many props in the movie that express the characters' characters. For example, Dilgore has a turban, which is red. Appeared in many scenes. Showing his bravery and tenderness, rough and delicate. It is really like an oil painting, every little detail is worth aftertaste.
