I dispelled the prejudice against the orange blossoms, and the whole film is down. To be fair, the oranges have completed their performance tasks-blame the stale plots. Moreover, I agree with Xiao Snake's opinion, although I am against Paul. Betteny didn't have a deep impression, but if he really played the protagonist, the play would be much better, at least, his appearance would not be a good one. Especially when the supporting characters are giving me the feeling of a medieval knight, suddenly, oranges are too handsome and unsuitable for the face, and the plot that doesn't match the whole-it breaks this atmosphere. If it were Paul Betteny, this atmosphere would not be so badly damaged.
By the way, I don't think "Gladiator" is such a great film. In some places, "Kings of Heaven" is more epic and historical than it. And if "The Kingdom of Heaven" really had the courage to turn this movie into a crusade story, I guess I would be extremely admired.
What a pity, the director was able to successfully create such a heroic charm for Saladin and Baudouin IV, but he did not dare to break away from the Hollywood model and make a real historical film with enough boldness. So when the audience is watching this movie, they have to endure the tragic life of the beautiful boy, and endure his inexplicable and meaningless love, endure some unreasonable super-fast progress, endure that he took the heroes away. The play.
But having said that, Orange has unreasonably learned superb martial arts from an obscure little blacksmith, learned how to rectify the castle, and learn how to line up troops. Is it possible to use the most authentic old-school knight novels to answer questions: because he was originally. It's a noble blood, and it's natural to have the ability.
If Orange is just a spectator, even if there are as many scenes as Banderas in "Thirteen Warriors", at least, in the final battle, I will be very excited-without feeling a little regretful.
The supporting roles were performed quite well, indeed they were wonderful. Saladin’s actors fit the description of Saladin in the history books: frowning (no, actually "thinking"). In fact, the movie didn’t give a good result. Saladin's true positive image, and because he didn't sincerely give him a positive image, it was a bit exaggerated.
And Edward Norton, who has been screaming in nympho since he hadn't watched the movie, turned out to have only so many scenes-too unexpected. What's even more surprising is that even though he did only have a few scenes, plus a glimpse of disfigurement at the end, I also followed the nymphomaniac. But I yelled at those: Norton’s acting skills are too strong, even wearing a mask can’t hinder his acting. Yunyun’s words are a bit disapproving. This character is so brilliant, partly because of Norton’s acting skills, and partly because of his incomparable beauty. The mask, coupled with exquisite costumes, especially when confronted with Saladin, one black and one white, the contrast is too sharp and brilliant, there is a suspicion that he was so handsome that it alarmed the Party Central Committee, not to mention that he died young.
This movie will definitely match costumes. Saladin’s costumes are also very beautiful, and the romantic princess, in fact, does not look beautiful, but with the opening outfit, the makeup is also very exquisite, so it feels amazing.
Summarize the comparison between the main characters in the movie and historical facts.
First, Bellian, played by Orange Blossom, should be in her 50s and married the widow of Baudouin IV played by Edward Norton. She has nothing to do with the blacksmith and has no wife who committed suicide.
Second, the younger sister (or older sister) of Baudouin IV, the princess Sibiye, who is also a widow, was seduced by the handsome boy Guy, who is younger than her, who is the next king of Jerusalem in the movie, to death. Want to marry him. Baudouin disagreed at first, because the child left by Sibiye’s ex-husband would be the future king of Jerusalem, but it is still unknown whether Gay is like this. However, he finally agreed to the marriage after he became seriously ill-and then found out that Guy was really stupid and very arrogant.
Third, the director is more ruthless than the Knights. The most regents are the directors. The director directly killed Baudouin V and gave the power to Guy without showing his face.
Fourth, the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospital, where the owner of the Knights Hospital is Raymond played by Jeremy Irons. The owner of the Knights Templar is the fat Renault with half-blonde and half-red hair that was finally killed by Saladin. Guy seduceed with Renault because Raymond opposed his marriage.
Fifth, Guy did not attack Saladin as aggressively as shown in the movie. He only wanted to defend and defend, but Renault caused trouble for him, as shown in the movie, robbed the Muslim caravan and then gave him Pressure, so he was forced to send troops, Baudouin IV stopped Saladin before he died, but after his death, Guy—was killed.
Sixth, Renault’s method of death is at least true in the legend, but Guy is not as arrogant as in the movie. He did not transfer the water Saladin handed over to Renault without drinking, but after drinking it. To Renault. According to tradition, the same person who eats and drinks is a friend, and Saladin is not ready to forgive Renault-Renault has been treacherous more than once. Saladin killed Renault.
Seventh, after the death of Baudouin IV, there was also Baudouin V. Baudouin IV skipped Guy, but gave the power of the country and the young master to Raymond III. He deprived Guy of his inheritance rights and wanted He was interrogated and his property confiscated, but Guy stubbornly survived until Baudouin's death, and made himself king without telling Raymond III. Raymond III avoided fighting and acquiesced. But since then, there are no more friends in Jerusalem.
Eighth, here I want to talk about the director's hypocrisy for Saladin because of his lack of sincerity. He gave Saladin a lot of beautification, but it was not realistic enough. To give just one example, at the end of the film, when Belian and Saladin negotiated, the fact is that Belian asked for reconciliation, but Saladin resolutely refused. Frank's number of treachery and the cruelty of the first capture of Jerusalem made him unable to forgive the Franks. So Belian played a rogue. He threatened Saladin. If he did not agree to a settlement, he would kill everyone in the city, including Franks and Muslims, and then destroy the mosque. Saladin agreed to a settlement and demanded that they pay a ransom. Both Belian and Saladin paid some poor people a ransom. Saladin did not sack Jerusalem, and many people stayed in relative peace. In fact, Saladin doesn't have to be disgustingly generous to be true. For a leader, all the early evil deeds of the Franks made him unable to maintain the initial tolerance. He was able to do not massacre and still maintain the Franks’ respect for the faith, which is enough to show greatness. Paying the ransom is justified. matter. The reconciliation in this way in the movie shows on the surface Saladin's magnanimity, but in fact it is still bragging for Bellian.
Moreover, using the common people's point of view to define the appropriateness of a great man's behavior is basically tantamount to joking. Just as Belian refused the princess's request to remarry, it seemed like a very heroic act. If history is true, he would be a fool and an idiot at all.
However, in any case, the director still emphasizes the chivalry style, which is still very good.
Saladin's tolerance can be better reflected in one point. He allowed the Franks to pay the ransom and then leave with his personal belongings. When the Franks left, they ransacked the Holy Sepulchre, reaching hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Saladin's subordinates wanted to stop, and Saladin's answer now seems to be far-sighted: if our request cannot be beneficial to them, they will say that we are not keeping our promises, and others do not know what is going on. So let them take it away and let others know our tolerance.
The Arabs at that time, both materially and spiritually, did have an absolute advantage. They know tolerance and demeanor better than some countries in the Western world, so they can be said to be more cavalier. Judging from the literature in the past, both Franks and Arabs still have a respectful attitude towards each other.
