Which movie is that extracted from?

I’ve worked in Spain several times: Their bullrings are (sometimes) very impressive, sometimes mere corrals, sometimes elaborate “modern” concrete buildings. They perhaps can best be thought of like American baseball fields.

Sandlots and local teams. Nothing but a fence and (literally) bleachers and a gate. Well-built arenas like high school or college ball fields. Minor league farm team baseball fields (AAA or AA baseball fields.) The modern big-city Major League fields.

Above all of them: The “traditional” 18th and 19th century big-city “We have had a “Tradition” of Bull-Fighting in this plaza since 1750 here” old masonry and stone and pillars and spectacles.

I don’t like bull-fighting (nor the modern WWE “wrestling” and TV-produced “gladiator” fighting that soon will become even more blood and sex shows), but if today’s liberal elites force us to accept the slavery and barbarism of their approved Muslim culture, how can they disapprove of the Spanish bull-fighters?

(Oh yeah. The Spaniards beat the Muslims in 1492. )

I've long suspected that the bullfighting familiar to moderns grew out of the Roman-era cult of Mithras.
