  • 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.

    I am 70 years old and I have seen many movies, but only 3 have marked my life and the 3 are carried out by the same actor, The Ten Commandments, Ben-Hur and El Cid, I do not care about the other opinions, but I always admired Charlton Heston, and he will always be the best actor of all time for me.

    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.

  • @roward48

    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.

      I think it was made in the time of Franco and there was a story he was very keen to push so he more or less loaned a good chunk of the Spanish army. There may be no CGI but even when I saw it originally I thought the ships offshore looked like plywood cut outs in front of rafts but the rest of the stuff was pretty good

I didn't see any expansion of the last scene, it's the same one that's on the DVD or Blu-ray. Since I live in an Anglo centric country (UnitedState), we learned about the defeat of the Spanish Armada by the English in 1588. I am sure the Spanish Army has given the English a black eye, many times. With that being said, God bless and good luck to one and all.

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!

    This is my Dad's favorite film, and he showed me this film when I was very young (probably younger than 10). The film has changed the way I view cinema, and it is among my favorites. 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.

    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.

      Lovely story, Denise. Thanks for sharing that particular memory, speaking as it does to an America within which ordinary normal Americans grew up to learn all about the wider world around them and to savour the different cultural histories. 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.

      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.

Embrace the complexity of today. Like Rodrigo did in his time. He shifted allegiances and allied with anyone who had a common cause. He fought for and with Moors.
