intriguing
13 December 2004
I just checked out this film and am intrigued to see that voice-dubbing was used for Jaime Bravo's handful of lines. Was Jaime's accent a little too strong for US audiences? For those of you who do not know, Jaime Bravo is the matador who is seen training the Americans in the film. An incredibly talented and exhilarating matador, his life was cut short in a February, 1970, car accident. The two most obvious vestiges of his talents are a wonderful black and white film, "Story Of A Matador", and his surviving apprentice, Eloy Cavazos, who is one of the world's current great matadors. If a viewer would like to experience an accurate, truthful account of a matador's preparation for a bullfight, then "Story Of A Matador" is an excellent resource.
