I know this show isn't even airing anymore but I'm watching it now and there is something that just stuck to me and I need to talk about it. I just... Hate what they did to Orduño's character in 1x04(?), and by extension, Jimena and Ruy's plotline.

Like, the first thing we see of Orduño in the series is him mistreating Ruy, if I remember correctly because of his father/lowborn status + him getting too close to Jimena (Ordoño's betrothed). Since then we have many scenes showing that he's constantly trying to get his father's approval or Jimena's affections, is loyal to the just prince who has taken him under his wing no matter what (being Alfonso the only one who actually listens to him), and the only times his efforts are acknowledged are when he is merely useful as a political pawn. Despite his first impression, the path he had been taking is quite easy to relate or sympathize. Damn, I was rooting for him much more than I have ever rooted for Ruy, who is supposed to be the main character (but then again almost everyone is more interesting than Ruy shhhh-)

But then the drunken scene with Jimena happens. There was just so much potential in there! To deepen even more those characters, their relationship and the drama! Imagine, Orduño sees Jimena's handkerchief with Ruy's blood in it and starts to cry, asking out aloud things like "what Ruy has that he doesn't, why nothing he does is ever enough" — in such a display of doubt / sensitivity / vulnerability that he would never allow himself to show in front of his betrothed when sober. I think it would catch Jimena so off guard, it would be very interesting to see how their relationships and characters would develop from this interaction/confession — something that could even, maybe, make Jimena doubt about her own feelings, creating some drama to this storyline, which, to be honest, has been quite bland since the beginning. Three birds with one stone! So simple, cute, and effective!

But no, let's make Orduño assault Jimena, because he's one of the villains, we need to remind the public that he's a bad guy, lest they forget about it!!!! It'll be useful when Ruy supports Sancho, so that people don't root for Alfonso who is supported by this evil man 😴 we can't have ""villain"" figures unless they are plain characters and try to have their way with an innocent good girl at some point after all.

Though there is something else that adds another layer to this problem and makes my blood boil even more. While all of this is happening, Ruy is sleeping with one of the Emir's daughters. Can you see what is being implied here, whether it is accidental or not? Ruy kills people, wins a battle, and is rewarded with a passionate night with a random noble lady who had been showing interest in him because he has the power of being the main character, Jimena not even a second thought. At the same time, however, Jimena tries to prevent her father from abusing her mother, seeks infanta Urraca to protect her friend who is being sexually assaulted, stands loyal to her affections for Ruy, and is being punished for it by none other than her own betrothed! Just how disturbing is that!?

If there is someone out of the two of them who actually could/deserves to have some quality time with a romantic prospect, it is Jimena with Orduño, the couple that in fact has a right to behave romantically towards each other, by society's standards. Ruy is just the crown Prince's squire, normally that noblewoman shouldn't even look his way, no wonder it seems next episode it will generate some problems for them (judging by the synopsis, haven't watched). I don't know, it all just sounds like a cheap isekai harem anime bullshit to me. All the feminist undertone they were trying to create in Urraca's storyline was just thrown in the trash.

Anyway, I'm still enjoying the show, I suppose, despite all of this. They also could have used more Urraca though. Not call this show El Cid, since Ruy is almost a side character in what was supposed to be his own show. Focus on what matters, which is the court intrigue / politics. Stuff like that.

After season 2, am I the only one kind of shipping Ruy and Urraca. Cause since season 1 I’ve felt like there was something there and season 2 definitely confirmed my suspicions and the last scene between them really has me hoping he will come back for her. Also never felt the chemistry between Jimena and him.

La leyenda del Cid en Amazon Prime

Otros nombres: El Cid, The Legend of El Cid

Que tal amig@s!!!

Esta es mi primera crítica en este blog así que por favor toman me con calma… es mi primera vez haciendo esto. (>。<)

La serie es pequeña solo 5 episodios y cada una dura casi una hora. La serie se trata de la leyenda del Cid que es una historia muy famosa en España. Les pido que me disculpen porque no sé muy bien la leyenda del Cid (no crecí en un país hispanohablante ｡ﾟ･(>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡) pero cuando leí el resumen, se me hizo muy interesante. La serie se puede decir que es como una novela historial, aunque no es 100% acertado porque es una serie de cine y es posible que añadieron algunas cositas más. El actor del personaje Ruy, al principio, no me gustó mucho porque se mira bajito de estatura (jaja sorry (￣▽￣*)ゞ) y no tiene la mejor apariencia (igual, discúlpanme este es mi opinión). Pero muy pronto me acostumbre del actor y poco a poco me iba gustando más y más. Ahora, estoy feliz que escogieron a ese actor porque actúa muy bien su papel. Además, el reparto actuó muy bien y cada uno hizo que su personaje tome vida.

La seria si se puso un poco despacio en la mitad, pero rápido se mejoró. Cada episodio fue muy interesante para mí y se terminaba en suspenso así que hizo que siguiera viendo el próximo episodio. Sí tenía algunas escenas explícitas que no me cayó muy bien (jaja {{ (>_<) }} ). Sé que antes la gente… no tema el incesto (hermano y hermana ewww) y también había una escena de adultos que fue innecesariamente muy larga (ahem), so tomen en cuenta eso (rated R!). Aparte de eso, me gustó mucho el personaje de Ruy. Rápido mi ganó el corazón porque es muy fiel y responsable del Rey y su príncipe. Él es el escudero del príncipe Pancho (me hace recordar de Don Quijote y su escudero Pancho jaja) y sabe muy bien que tiene que protégelo y lo hace sin pensar. También me gustó mucho la relación entre Ruy y Pancho. Aunque Ruy es el escudero, se tratan como amigos (por lo general) y si se quieren uno al otro. Me acuerda de Merlin y Arthur de la serie Merlin. ＼(￣▽￣)／ Sólo que Ruy no tiene poderes mágicos, pero sí tiene una facilidad para pelear en guerra.

La escena final de la primera temporada es impresionante y me gustó muchísimo. Te dejan en suspenso y es como si la primera temporada es el prólogo de la historia y el drama actual estar por venir. Estoy esperando la segunda temporada y tengo los dedos cruzados que sea igual o todavía mejor que la primera temporada.

Mi calificación de El Cid:

4/5

¿Lo recomendó?

Si les gustan las novelas de historia y suspenso, y también de los caballeros, reyes, guerreros, y escuderos, ¡si lo recomendó!

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest Queen of them all?

“Elizabeth was 25-years-old and in her youthful prime at the time of her accession. While never a beauty, she was attractive enough and the historian John Hayward (c.1564-1627) described her as being “of stature mean, slender, straight and amiably composed; of such state in her carriage, as every motion of her seemed to bear majesty” She had fair hair “inclined to pale yellow”, with “lively and sweet” eyes and a nose that rose slightly in the middle. Portraits suggest that Elizabeth resembled her mother facially, although she had her father’s colouring. During her brother’s reign, she had sought to present herself as a modest Protestant maiden, refusing to wear the rich clothes and jewels that had been left to her by her father. Throughout this time, she was held up as a model to other young women, making them “ashamed to be dressed and painted like peacocks” as John Aylmer (1521-1594), Bishop and tutor to Lade Jane Grey, put it. Even the sober Lady Jane Grey herself declared that, in matters of dress, she wished to follow “my Lady Elizabeth which followeth God’s word”. Elizabeth began to dress more flamboyantly during her sister’s reign and it is clear that somber black was not her real preference. As queen, Elizabeth loved fine clothes and was proud of her appearance, growing concerned as she began to notice herself ageing. From her 40s and 50s she wore wigs to cover her grey hair and thick layers of makeup to give the illusion of eternal youth. Her clothes also grew increasingly elaborate with large ruffs and huge padded sleeves; she owned around 3,000 costly gowns, many of which were strewn with jewels. She continued to attract suitors into her old age, with young men, such as Walter Raleigh (c.1552-1618) and the Earl of Essex, encouraging her in the belief that time had stood still for her. The personal possessions with which she decorated her palaces were equally splendid. She carried golden clocks around with her from residence to residence, as well as books covered in silver gilt and a bed pane embroidered with silver fabric. An inventory of her possessions with which she decorated her palaces were equally splendid. She carried golden clocks around with her from residence to residence, as well as books covered in silver gilt and a bed pane embroidered with silver fabric. An inventory of her possessions noted that she also owned more exotic items, including a “staff of unicorn’s horn with a cross garnished with silver gilt”. It was topped with a crystal ball.”

So … if there was a match-up of which Disney villain best matched Good Queen Bess, it’s a no brainer that it’d be the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She’s way more brutal in the original fairy tale, though she’s still scary in Disney’s film. Just like Gloriana, no one is allowed to steal her glory. The older Elizabeth I got, she became more vain. With a brand to protect and the symbol she’d become to her people, absolutely nothing could stand in her way. This meant that no one in her court, much less the ladies that were part of her household, could outshine her. There was an incident where some did and Bess took it as a serious offence. On one of these occasions, she broke a woman’s finger. Additionally, of all the potential claimants to the throne, the ones she was most afraid were her female cousins. Pop history is focused on the conflict between Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth. However, from the moment she became England’s new Queen, Elizabeth I her eyes were locked on ALL of her female relatives. Everyone that she viewed as a threat, she used every excuse to disinherit them. With Catherine Grey, because the priest and witness had died at the time her union with Edward Seymour, Eartl of Hertford, her marriage was declared invalid which made her sons (both of which she had while she was imprisoned in the Tower) bastards. She died under house arrest shortly after. As for the youngest of the Grey sisters, Mary Grey, she was first ridiculed by the Spanish ambassador for her stature and apparent hunchback and then the Queen when she found out that she had married without royal permission. Elizabeth I ordered husband and wife be set apart so Mary Grey never enjoyed any marital bliss. Furthermore, Elizabeth I did not like that Mary Grey sided with the more Evangelical Protestants of her court.

In Elizabeth I’s England, there was only room for one woman and that was Elizabeth. During the last decades of her reign, when it became apparent that no manner of heckling and threats could change the course of nature, she became desperate to fool the viewer, including herself, by presenting an image of a nearly perfect, flawless monarch who was the closest thing to the living embodiment of a goddess as her people were ever going to get. It is also around this period that artists and playwrights aided in the promotion of the cult of the Virgin Queen which indirectly sought to replace that of the once popular Virgin Mary, Queen Mother of Heaven.

The best way to describe and (in the case of subjects) to deal with royalty was as one character tells his charge, Rodrigo “Ruy” Dias de Vivar in the Amazon Spanish series EL CID, is to remember that you may share in their joys and comfort them (when needed) but NEVER think that you can be their equal. The Tudors more than any other English dynasty preceding them, always made sure their subjects remembered that. They wove an alternative tale which became embedded in the popular image. Elizabeth I most of all, became a symbol for the masses to admire and fear, one that loved to remind her noble subjects that they could expect favors and good will if they ignored the passage of time and played the game of courtly love with the aging Queen.

Charlton Heston in the battle of ‘Khartoum’ on Amazon Prime

Khartoum (1966) is the sweeping story of the 1880 battle between British General Charles ‘Chinese’ Gordon (post Ben-Hur and El Cid Charlton Heston) and the Madhi (Laurence Olivier behind a thick beard and unfortunate brownface make-up) in the Sudan. It opens with a spectacular desert battle, bringing back echoes of Lawrence of Arabia, but soon shifts to the battle of wits and wiles between two…
