      Faith is life

      Accidentally, I watched another three-hour movie.

      At first, I thought it was a movie similar to Braveheart. Just to learn more about some Jerusalem bite the bullet and read on.

      It turned out that it gave me a question worth thinking about at the end.

      When Balian surrendered, he vowed to fight to the end, and when the other party told him that he would not slaughter the city, he readily agreed to surrender. After Balian promised to surrender, the soldiers in the...

      Kingdom of Heaven

      After watching this film, I immediately became interested in the Crusades and Jerusalem.
       In my impression, the Crusades are so legendary, heroic and admirable. In fact, in the name of religion, they become slaves of power and money. Islam is not a crazy religion, it also loves peace, faith and benevolence in essence.
       Jerusalem, as the holy city of the three major denominations, is riddled with holes and stands still, and it is sacred and incomprehensible.
       This film gives us a...

      Iron-clad Jerusalem, king of flowing waters

      These are Balian's words to cheer him up before the battle against Saladin -

      It is fallen to us to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslim, of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offense we did not give against those who were not alive to be offended.
      What is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that Romans pulled down....

      Exodus from Jerusalem

      In the title: Kingdom of Heaven Tucao record
       
      is like Moses leading the Hebrews out of Egypt, I think of this title, it feels very appropriate.



      //Why does the heroine always have an unbearable virtue as long as Orlando Bloom is starring?
      (I have a lot of slaves that I'd like to work with...)

      The director's guts can't support his ambition

      I finally picked up a pen to write a movie review, and re-reviewed so many movies I’ve seen in the past—it’s not an easy job to evaluate.
      This film fails and excels in the same way, which is that it is too rich in content. Kingdom of Heaven is pretty much the pinnacle of epic. "Gladiator" is just a story about the revenge of modern people with the background of the Roman era, and it will be no problem in any other era, so it is a pseudo-epic film. "King Arthur" is a historical restoration...

      How to turn a good movie into a superficial bad movie? The answer is to cut 50 minutes from the release, cut all key scenes to reduce viewing time and increase the number of screenings, and cut out all religious plots to ensure superficiality. No wonder Eva Green refused to promote the release. So, I recommend the extended version of this...

      I read the comments in advance, so I watched the 192-minute director's version directly. I have never been interested in heavy medieval armor and crumbling earth, wooden sheds, and fires. Just watched it for ed. The male protagonist played by Orlando, alas, is short-sighted in heroism, and really regrets "not paying a little evil for the great good". I cried when the mask king was dying, ed's performance was really perfect! It really is "a talent that a mask can't cover...

      It's a bit far-fetched to reject the king's there. . . So caring for the people must be entrusted to the hands of others, including their own women. . . In the end, I folded it back and took it, why bother? ? ? When you become a king, is it contrary to your own beliefs? don't like it very...

    The shooting process of the heavenly dynasty

    Ridley chose Spain and Morocco as filming locations. In addition to framing local scenic spots, he also built many large buildings.
    In addition to the construction of the holy city, all the landscapes and props in the city are also meticulously done. A team of 80 technicians exhibited their talents, including various leather goods, furniture and ironware, and even an 11th century horseshoe found in London was also used.
    Among the many...

    Evaluation action

    In the two-hour-long film, there is one battle after another, and these battles are mixed together. Except for the shabby and old clothes and long and dirty hair, the audience should not expect to get anything else in the movie. (Competition report) 
    "The Kings of the Heavens" was well shot. Ridley Scott's method of describing personal hero perspectives is still sophisticated, the actors' performances have also contributed a lot, and...
