"The Legend of Mercenaries" is a Spanish epic blockbuster. In addition to the genius erotic master Almodóvar, in addition to the wild Latin lover Banderas, in addition to the amazing and sexy Spanish girl Penelope, pure Spanish movies rarely enter the field of vision of ordinary people, but this does not prevent " "The Legend of Mercenaries" became the highlight of the 2006 and 2007 movies. Although this is a big production, don't panic for those who get nauseated when they hear the three words "big production". This is definitely not as popular as a Chinese blockbuster. It focuses more on realism rather than Hollywood-style exaggeration. The reason why it is called epic The blockbuster movie is precisely because of the vivid portrayal of the little people at the bottom of the film. In other words, it is a fashionable saying, which is a wonderful description of human nature. Through the image of a warrior who is dedicated to others, we can feel the struggle of a group of people and a nation. Incorrigible romance and chivalry in the bones.

Diego, a humble mercenary, is a man with honor and bravery. As a "colonel" in the Spanish army in the 17th century, the so-called colonel is just a senior, and he can't get rid of the status of being enslaved by the powerful. 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 Earl's life and won recognition, but it had nothing to do with other things. This could not change his fate. He was still a murderous pawn. Personally, he is deeply in love with the beautiful Maria, a famous stage actor, but his love is worthless in the face of money and power. He took the king's reward that he had exchanged for his life with joy, and took great pains to exchange it for a beautiful pearl necklace. When he hurried to his lover's residence, he found that there was a man in his beloved woman's house, and he was no one else. It was the supreme king of Spain—the king who gave him his reward. At that moment, I believe that the sadness of all the audience is not equal to the loss of the hero's heart. It was the most helpless moment for this man, but it was not in the battlefield of bloody swords and shadows...

His adopted son Inig faces the same fate. Diego wants the boy to stay away from the beautiful but dangerous girl, the childhood sweetheart Angelica. However, the dry wood is burning fiercely, and any "loyal words" will become pale words against the ears. Angelica planned to elope with Enig, but changed her mind at the last moment. Under the strong obstruction of the bureaucratic family with ulterior motives, she gave up their promise for her future and the noble status of her descendants. That eager and firm step turned into a retreating and escaping back, and an incomparably pale and indifferent face was branded on the screen.

Why do women always like to torture the man who loves her the most? Why do people always despise what they get, and why do they always wait until they lose it before they know how to cherish it? In the syphilis hospital, the "patient Maria", who could only be covered with a veil, and the "Countess Angelica", who was in tears all day, eventually paid the price for what they got.

The Flemish War gradually faded away, and the Armada was no longer invincible, and became a defeated army. What is behind the infinite beauty of history: war, heroism, religion, conspiracy, betrayal, beauty, morality, conscience.

When women are no longer the gentleness of yesterday, when their beliefs are tarnished and questioned, the most trustworthy swordsman is the ruthless sword in his hand, and men can only forget the pain by "fighting like a man". Perhaps victories and successes are not really satisfying, nor really happy.

But the end of life is blood. A soul-stirring song of a mercenary warrior is enough to make our blood flow in front of the screen and reminisce for a long time.
