Cosas divertidas

Trivialidades:
One well-known legend about the Cid describes how he acquired his famous war-horse, the white stallion Babieca (Bavieca). According to this story, Rodrigo's godfather, Pedro El Grande, was a monk at a Carthusian monastery. Pedro's coming-of-age gift to El Cid was his pick of a horse from an Andalusian herd. El Cid picked a horse that his godfather thought was a weak, poor choice, causing the monk to exclaim "Babieca!" (stupid!) Hence, it became the name of El Cid's horse. más

A certain scene in 'El Cid', 30 June 2005
9/10
Author: MickRibbons de United Kingdom

I think this is a particularly interesting and entertaining film. Sophia Loren is one of my favourite actresses and Charlton Heston never fails to deliver when he is cast in epic films, El Cid, Ben Hur, Moses.etc. One really moving incident in 'El Cid' never ceases to disturb me and it is after El Cid (Charlton Heston)is exiled and rejected by his future wife, Chimene (Sophia Loren). Travelling through Spain he approaches a well one day where a leper nearby is crying for water. El Cid offers him first drink at the scoop. The leper thanks him and calls him 'El Cid'. When Rodrigo (Charlton Heston)asks the leper how he knew it was him the leper replies that it could only be El Cid who would offer a drink of water to a leper. At that moment, Chimene (Sophia Loren) turns up, leading a pack-horse and accepts that her life can only be complete with El Cid and they ride off into the sunset together. I always feel a lump in my throat and feel my eyes go hot and prickly during this scene!
