What is the biggest feeling after watching "The Kingdom of Heaven"?
—— Not that the story is slow and the protagonist is pedantic
— Not that the knight is chic and the queen is romantic
— Not that the war is magnificent and the battle is tragic,
it is precisely that the film confessed the origin of 9.11, which I admire. Such a subject deserves to be Slavish.
As in his "Black Hawk Down", although he still doesn't treat Africans as human beings, bloody battles and deaths and obvious anti-war sentiments are enough to make me firm in my anti-war beliefs. So although "Heaven" is not faithful to (or close to) history, after all, a "Hollywood blockbuster" unbiasedly reveals the feud between the Islamic world and the Christian world.
Jerusalem, the Holy Land of the Three Religions, is endless.
What "Heavenly Kingdom" intercepts is a story from a religious war between Christianity and Islam-the famous "Crusade". The Christians established a small kingdom in Jerusalem, temporarily maintaining a fragile peace with the surrounding Muslims, but the fanatical (or bloodthirsty) crusaders and nobles continued to provoke them, and eventually attracted a ruthless counterattack from the Muslims, and the Christian state of Jerusalem fell. It is also worth mentioning that the Muslims in the film are not at all evil and frantic like most American films, but they are faithful, righteous, and upright. It is precisely the war mongers among the Christians who have inferior character and deserve their sins.
You don’t need to study history, and you don’t need to verify how many "Eastern Expeditions" happened in the story (although the British Lionheart’s expedition at the end of the film is a very convenient clue). In short, Jerusalem has always been like this and is worshipped by thousands of people. Longing to fight and destroy.
The hatred of Islamic fundamentalism towards the Western Christian world started from this. 9.11 is naturally complex and abnormal. The conflict between Bin Laden’s generation and the United States is not only a religious issue, but also "imperialism VS people's resistance" must also account for a large part (this is why we are happy to see the collapse of the WTO-those The so-called Chinese who feel the same pain as the Americans, I directly suspect that they are hypocritical). But it must be said that the religious/cultural conflicts between the Christian world and the Islamic world that have spanned thousands of years (religious, even those mixed with wars of predation and aggression, mixed with colonial and anti-colonial wars) are the roots.
Take a look at the history of a pot of porridge in the Middle East: the savage European Christian Crusaders attacked pagan Muslims and robbed the holy Christian site of Jerusalem. The non-vegetarian Muslims rose up and regained the holy Islamic site of Jerusalem. The Jewish nation was frightened by Hitler's brutality and set the capital of Jerusalem, the holy place of Judaism, and spawned three more Middle East wars, reaping the deadlock between Israel and Palestine, and the entire Arab world, as well as the deep-seated hatred of Islamic fundamentalism against the Western world.
What is to blame? religion?
(I started to step into the minefield) Religion is actually a relatively unfamiliar field to the Chinese. In its bones, it is the pragmatism of Confucius who respects ghosts and gods away from him. He has never had the qualifications to believe. Today I will burn incense in the Lama Temple. Tomorrow, I will ask the Taoist priests to do things. (Well, really, looking at the close cooperation between the monk and the Taoist priest at the Chinese funeral, we can see how lack of piety we are). Buddhism and Taoism have never really become the spiritual pillars of the Chinese people (it is a religion, but it may be said that it is a culture. The believers are only members of a certain salon or guild or gang), not to mention Christianity, and it is not a climate of worshipping foreigners Just one example.
However, it must be said that religious immunity is really a blessing for the Chinese. Although the five thousand years of political wars and political struggles have been extremely tragic, after all, avoiding religious wars and avoiding what bin Laden said is a good thing. So, let's overthrow religion at all? ——It's a pity that things in the world are not so simple (Where to put Western civilization?), and it should be decapitated if it says so.
So my digression ends here first. Ugh……
