untimely

A few months ago, I heard that "Kingdom of Heaven" failed at the box office, so I prepared in advance that it might be a "Troy" or "King Arthur"-level work, which is too big for nothing. It turns out I was wrong.
Movies are great. The key is that after watching it, the more you think about it, the better. Like bitter tea, it needs to be tasted slowly.
The result of the aftertaste is now considering that there is time to watch it again. Of course, you have to look through the encyclopedia first, and go through several crusades and the past of Saladin and Balian.
In the movie, whether it is Balian or Saladin, they are full of humanistic thoughts of compassion, not to mention in the era of the Crusades, in the post-9/11 America, and in today's holy city. To be stoned.
If we shoot "Robin Hood" again today, we must not design a Moor starring Morgan Freeman.
How can today's Americans accept that the Middle Easterners in the movie are not terrorists, but enlightened monarchs full of wisdom, troops forced to defend themselves, and Christians who are fighting against greed, cruelty, and unbelief.
Come on, Bush just defeated Iraq in a crusade manner. Today's America is stronger than the Roman Empire back then, and "Gladiator" and "Project Black Hawk" are like exposing the scars of the Roman Empire and the New Roman Empire, but they must not hide their flaws. To beautify the Middle Eastern people as a positive image is somewhat unbearable and unbearable.
Bitter tea is not everyone's favorite drink, so the box office is not good.
But over time, more and more people will find that bitter tea is delicious.
The film is technically impeccable, dealing with cold weapon combat scenes only Peter Jackson can compare with Ridley Scott, and Spielberg and Scott are the first choice for Modern Warfare. No matter what kind of war is filmed, the old man should take the top three spots.
This year is a big match. This film has more big matches than "Batman". Edward Norton can act with his eyes alone (reminds me of Tony Leung's acting with the blue veins on the back of his neck in Angkor Wat), and the slender old man who plays Saladin With just a few words, the show stick has become the person who grabs the most drama. If this year's Oscars don't give him a Best Supporting Actor or at least a nomination, I will go to "Art Life" to officially announce that I will be withdrawing from all selections by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts.

    Balian of Ibelin: Before I lose it, I will burn it to the ground. Your holy places - ours. Every last thing in Jerusalem that drives men mad.
