      He speaks like that naturally because it is assumed that Diego de la Vega came from the Spanish nobility who obviously knew the ways of the court, (then he taught them to Alejandro), later he went to Mexico and married a bourgeois Mexican woman, unlike Montero, who was only a bourgeois who thanks to his money was able to access the Spanish Court (he recognizes Alejandro's court greeting) but clearly doesn't have the refinement of Diego because he lacks blue blood 😅

      "Perfect. Now do it again." is the best piece of training a combatives instructor can give. It's not _enough_ to be able to do it perfectly. You have to do it perfectly _every time._ You have to be able to do it perfectly blind, tired, bleeding, angry and/or drunk, or you or those you have charged yourself with could die.

I liked that he is so well versed in everything the Original taught him with his own skills that he became the superior fighter

      And the best part was they're not super zoomed in, they've not jumped to dozens of cuts during the fight and they've not started doing "shakey cam". Everything was stepped back, with a nice wide angle shot in a few cuts so you can appreciate all the beautiful fight choreography that went into the scene, they moved along with the fight , and it makes you feel like you're sitting along the sidelines experiencing things unfold with the best possible angles.
      Dear lord, I wish they'd go back to doing things like this more often these days, the fight was just incredibly beautiful how it just flows naturally.

      You're right, we are seeing an age of tv shows saturating the market with top notch composition. People nowadays are on the subscription models and would rather stay home to watch entertainment than hit the theaters especially when theaters are filled with a bunch of recycled series. I do miss all the choreography though, I feel like cutting costs and more cgi makes movies feel more synthetic now. Regardless there is an abundance of entertainment that filmed movies are competing now when they did not use to during the cable tv era.

      Banderas has been very successful. He has done a lot of Spanish movies since he is from Mexico and he has many Hollywood hits to his credit. Banderas might not have the most credits to his name for an A-lister but that is because he is a family man through and through. And to @UnderdogSMO 's point Banderas was a major contributor to the themes and story of Puss In Boots 3. As Banderas suffered a major heart attack that nearly killed him, and he said that it was a major turning point in his life like he's got a new lease on life.

    Note the soundtrack, it's moving at an increased tempo as he's stood on the table surrounded by men, It's a perfect description of his desperation, he can't go slow, he's not in training anymore, also note that the table is round, as in the circle he trained in, he fights only the men in the circle, as nothing outside it exists, until Captain love enters his circle. Even then he isn't driven by revenge, he remain calm choosing not to act in anger and try his chance at revenge.

    To talk about something a bit different from the rest of the comments:
    5:40 When Alejandro asks "What's lesson number 3?", and don Diego says "To get to lesson number 4", the way Alejandro rolls his eyes is just perfect. He's saying without words "Ok, Ok, I get it. Just be patient. Geez". It shows that he may be inexperience, but that doesn't mean he's slow witted. Plus, it's just low-key hilarious to boot. Small but brilliant piece of acting from Banderas.

    • @pittland44

      Well Batman has always drawn inspiration from the old Zorro pulp novels that predated comic books as we know them. DC actually has their own old west version of Zorro called El Diablo. Zorro, plus the old German "the Bat" haunted house movies and the works of Errol Flynn (You can't tell me that part of why Batman using grappling hooks so much is because of the old Pirate movies Errol did and how cool all the swinging around on the ships ropes looked). You combine all of that together with dash of Robin Hood and some Film Noir detective stuff and Bob's your Uncle!

      The idea of legacy characters was not a new concept. Even Bruce Wayne had handed the mantle of Batman over to Jean Paul Valley and Dick Grayson. Along with other elseworld stories. The Phantom origin is that he's a legacy with his father and their father being the Phantom.
      But I wouldn't be surprised if Mask of Zorro helped reinforce the idea that Beyond could work.

Marvel at the time had also been running their "2099" series of comics (which I thoroughly enjoyed, their "Fall of the Hammer" arc was epic) and if you look at the artwork for Spiderman 2099 you can definitely see similarities with Miguel O'hara and Terry McGuiness.

      Some say that Batman was inspired by Zorro. The original novelized character was based on a masked revolutionary Bandit who wrote through Mexico and California by the name of get ready Joaquin Murrieta. He was captured and arrested during the early days of California's statehood. He was beheaded and his head preserved and put on display in a jar. Which was on display at a museum owned by a private owner and collector in Santa Barbara for over a century. Or I think it was Santa Barbara. The museum shut down. Antonio banderas's character brother Joaquin Murrieta in The Mask of Zorro and his fate in the film is a tribute to the real history of the character that Zorro was based on.

    The best “training an apprentice” sequence since Obi-Wan and Yoda took up the task with Luke.
    Quickly and clearly establishing the master’s mastery without bluster or any need to humiliate the pupil. Correction and positive reinforcement doled out in equal measure and when warranted. Zero self-aggrandizement by the mentor, whether by a drawn-out display of superior skill or droning lectures on how and why the pupil doesn’t get it or isn’t ready. And no “break you down to build you up” bullshit whilst training a singular, skilled combatant, given that those training methods are designed to psychologically condition cannon fodder to hold the line without question in the face of certain death.
    Just a masterful demonstration of mentorship where the mentor is as exacting as he needs to be while allowing his charge to feel pride in his own growth and share in his mentor’s pride as he’s forged into a weapon that can right two generations’ worth of wrongs. A worthy example for any age.

      Don Diego is great teacher to Alejandro. He correctly judges what makes Alejandro tick and uses that to forge him into a weapon and (unintentionally) a better man than he was. Or maybe he wanted to make him a better man than he was and that makes him a weapon. Fighting spirit is already there so all that is needed is skill and discipline to harness it.
