It took me a second time to watch it to realize that it took place in the 1940's and in Spain.I also just realize that it was made in 2008 .I thought it just released. Adrian Brody,with his handsome hawk nose and sad eye brows, portrays an English speaking Spanish bull fighter.He just dropped his old girl friend whom he was almost going to shoot.This movie portrays the life of a bull fighter and the danger that they live because of this sports.He meets the very exotic Penelope Cruze, who's an actress or a model.They start to have a affair with each other.Then as usual in these films she start to worry about him dying in the bull ring and tries to get him to quit.This story is almost like blood and sand.He later learns that she was a communist and was married to a communist in the military.He takes her out of jail under his custody.His managers does not like him having an a affair with her cause it's not good for a bull fighter to care.This was quite a good story. Ironically none of this was shot in Mexico.The costumes and hairdo's fit the period of the time 1945 to 46 to?Like blood and Sand this bull fighter ends up getting killed because of his distraction cause by his love for Penelope Cruze. What a mistake. Available at Red box Rentals.08/21/12
