  • 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.

      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!

    A sequência final de El Cid assombrou a minha infância, assombrou a minha vida inteira. O cavaleiro estático e imaculado recebe uma luz, um reflexo do sol do crepúsculo, e o órgão (o meu instrumento favorito) irrompe grandiosamente, com a solenidade de uma epifania. O último take projeta o cavaleiro, o homem, que atravessa todo o screen, passa da vida de sofrimento finalmente para a lenda. Jamais encontrei outro momento que me marcasse tanto.

    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.

    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.

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. Big thanks again.

      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.

    History is key:.
    “ El Cid found work fighting for the Muslim rulers of Zaragoza, whom he defended from its traditional enemy, Aragon. While in exile, he regained his reputation as a strategist and formidable military leader. He was repeatedly victorious in battle against the Muslim rulers of Lérida and their Christian allies, as well as against a large Christian army under King Sancho Ramírez of Aragon. In 1086, an expeditionary army of North African Almoravids inflicted a severe defeat to Castile, compelling Alfonso to overcome the resentment he harboured against El Cid. The terms for El Cid's return to Christian service must have been attractive enough since Rodrigo soon found himself fighting for his former lord. Over the next several years, however, El Cid set his sights on the kingdom-city of Valencia, operating more or less independently of Alfonso, while politically supporting the Banu Hud and other Muslim dynasties opposed to the Almoravids. He gradually increased his control over Valencia; the Islamic ruler, Yahya al-Qadir [es], became his tributary in 1092. When the Almoravids instigated an uprising that resulted in the death of Al-Cádir, El Cid responded by laying siege to the city. Valencia finally fell in 1094, and El Cid established an independent principality on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. He ruled over a pluralistic society with the popular support of Christians and Muslims alike.”

Unbeliever or not I admired the medieval purity of the feeling this scene conveyed. I note that for years I've misremembered the last line. I thought it was "...The most perfect knight of Christendom." I was also wowed by "Ben Hur" which came out at about the same time. In the decades (and dozens of movies, and two tours in the Vietnam War, and the right wing attack on the American people) since 1961 I had plenty of time to get tired of Charlton Heston's swaggering foolishness.

    El Cid came from the Arabic word Al-Sayyed or assayed, which means (sir, master).
    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.

    Remarkable score by Miklos Rozsa--and a remarkable horse, never throwing a dead rider off! As wildly unbelievable as the ending is, it fits the "legendary" character played so well by Heston. One quibble--couldn't they have taken the poor man off his horse after the battle?

      As a Cuban American, which my grandparents from both sides of the family; are transplanted Spaniards. I am proud of my Spanish ancestry. Que viva Espana ! 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.

    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.
