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 some are even omitted completely. The rhythm is a bit slow.

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!

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.
