  • El Cid ending, one of the best parts of this epic road show picture. El Cid taking a arrow to the heart in a previous battle, demands that he rides out the next day despite his fatal injury. Thus restoring the morale of his men and then to charge on to victory. And thus the cid, road out of the gates of history, into legend.

    What makes this scene so riveting, is that, according to history, when El Cid was mounted on his horse, he was already dead, from wounds received, in an earlier battle. He was tethered into his saddle so that he would not fall, and his right hand was affixed to his staff, so that it would not drop. This was one of the most dynamic endings, in the history of film.

    No crappy cgi here. All of the sets and backgrounds were real. Real castles, real crowds of hundreds for the battle scenes, real siege engines rolling laboriously forward. They couldn't get enough money to finance a film like this today. This is a film about chivalry, honor, and commitment to a cause, even at the pain of death. Does anyone even care about making a film epitomizing these virtues anymore?
    And kudos to Miklos Rozsa for a brilliant, unforgettable score.

      Only prime Hollywood at its extravagant best could come up with a film and musical score like this. Even Lord of the Rings looks greatly deflated after seeing this film again. A rare production, and almost worthy of the purest Knight of all-the great EL CID, who in the deepest humility, served His Lord God, and the Spanish King, loyal to a fault. Amen!

Since I live in an Anglo centric country (UnitedState), we learned about the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the English in 1588.

And much of that is because of this scene. It is so moving, so striking, so profound, so epic, I am always moved, by the organ music, by the chorus, by the legend. What a treasure of a film, what an underrated masterpiece.

The takeaway from this is that he sacrificed everything, including his life, for his country.He saved Spain and left it with a king whom he had inspired to become fit to wear the crown.

    When I first saw this scene a memory was triggered in me. I had, from my mother, a sixth grade reading book, with a section titled "Heroes from other lands" I recognized El Cid as being one of those stories when they got to the part about propping him up on his horse with the the bar to keep him upright. This book would have been in use, in Kansas, in the 1940's, so it's pretty cool. There were also short fiction stories set in other countries, particularly Asia, Eastern Europe, and Russia. Quite a breadth of cultural exposure for the time and the place.

There's something especially poignant about the fact that your Mom was growing up in Kansas in the 1940s because -- all too sadly, as the events at The Capitol on January 6th amply demonstrated -- I've a feeling, Toto, that we're not in Kansas any more.

      I saw it in Plymouth in June 1962. Three of us were just outside the town, camping in a very small canvas tent with no lamp, and when we saw what was on at the cinema we decided to spend the evening seeing it. Things you remember forever. I come back and look at this scene from time to time. One of the things that made it so hair-raising was that you began to believe that he really was dead. It was very eerie, and there was the danger that he would fall. Brilliant direction.

      @natealbum4456 Před 7 lety +1

      According to my research:
      In 1082, on behalf of al-Muʿtamin, he inflicted a decisive defeat on the Moorish king of Lérida and the latter’s Christian allies, among them the count of Barcelona. In 1084 he defeated a large Christian army under King Sancho Ramírez of Aragon. He was richly rewarded for these victories by his grateful Muslim masters.
      So I stand by what I said. He was a mercenary who played both sides of the fence. El CID was out for El CID. Valencia was his ultimate prize and he did what he had to do to get it. A hired sword
      He had one son and two daughters. His son Diego Rodríguez died fighting against the Almoravids in the service of Alfonso in 1097. Look it up.
      The movie was pure Hollywood fantasy.

      El Cid came from the Arabic word Al-Sayyed or assayed, which means (sir, master, lord).
      The Arab Islamic history is so huge to the point that many Muslims have never heard of this character.
      The Umayyad state ruled from southern France to the borders of China. Imagine the amount of external and internal events and conflicts within this history extending from the dawn of Islam to the Ottoman Empire.

      La palabra "Cid" viene del árabe "sidi" que significa "señor", lo usan los árabes para describir a gente importante como muestra de aprecio, y nunca para describir a un enemigo.
      El cid lucho contra cristianos a favor de los musulmanes en numerosas ocasiones, era un mercenario muy inteligente que capitaneaba un batallón con mercenarios cristianos y musulmanes ; lo que cuentan los poemas que nos han llegado por vía oral hasta nuestros días son un producto de la imaginación.

      Pero en la época del cid aún no había un gran fervor de guerra entre cristianos y musulmanes.
      Esto vendría más tras la primera cruzada del Papa Urbano ll, casi en el año 1100.

    I´ve always wondered how must Anthon Mann´s face expression have altered when he read the last page of the script and learned that the story ends with the main character winning a battle while being already dead. And it is admirable how well it is solved, the camera keeps exactly the right distance, so far that the - non spanish - public doesn´t know that he is dead but so close that it also realizes that there is something fishy going on. The horse with its nervous tipping provides also the perfect counterpoint to Heston´s rigidity. And the zoom when he crosses the gates...and the charge... wonderful.
