Purchasing discs on AAC's DVD shelf is my old job, and I saw "Madagascar" that day, an equally exciting but obviously insufficient film, and then I saw this gray-blue cover of "Madagascar". Kingdom of Heaven". The first reaction at that time was "Ah~~ I can find it~~ I've been waiting for a thousand years", and then I took 2 discs without any hesitation and paid for it.
What I didn't expect was that after watching "Madagascar" 3 or 4 times with great interest, I threw aside "Kingdom of Heaven" and didn't have the heart to watch it at all, but when I actually put it into the DVD player, It is already the eleventh long holiday after the military training is over.
But after watching it once, I was immediately infected by the plot and atmosphere inside, and I watched it N times out of control. In the end, the unfinished shutdown is full of contempt for "King Arthur", "Alexander the Great", "Troy" and other epic films that cost a lot of money......
There is no comparison, I really don't know the pros and cons. Khan.......
Watching the blacksmith Barry played by dear ORLANDO slowly grow from a murderer and abscond to a knight, and finally became the real king of Jerusalem, and unknowingly, I also followed the warriors in the movie.
When his father died of an arrow wound because of him, and finally forced his body to teach him the last adult class, not only Barry's eyes were touched and grown.
When someone on the dock insulted him, Barry's eyes were still calm and strong.
While the boat was torn to shreds in the surf and rain, Barry got up slowly on the beach and walked to the horses that survived with him. In the golden sand and the dry wind of the desert, there is God's quiet shelter for the future master of his holy city.
When Barry killed the Arab nobles, brought the nobles' slaves to Jerusalem, and finally set the slaves free; when he quietly said "BLUE" to his father's servants; when he walked into the place that belonged to his father and now belongs to him Luxurious houses; when he saw the beautiful princess of the holy city, and finally confronted the nobles who had despised him at the pier at the state banquet, there was only peace in Barry's eyes. He still seems to be just the blacksmith, living quietly in a place where he doesn't know about the war and Jerusalem.
But the brand of the cross on his hand and his fief, his people reminded him all the time that you are a noble, you are a knight, and you have a mission.
I will never forget the warning that Barry's father gave in a trembling voice at the last moment of his life; and the slap in the face that was slapped hard on Barry's face.
"AND THAT IS SO YOU REMEMBER IT."
His father's last words followed Barry until he saw the metal masked king, the real monarch.
Leprosy, regarded as "God's punishment", befalls this wise monarch, and perhaps no one but his sister remembers his once handsome appearance. But that didn't bring him down, and he used his candle-shattering life to set fire to the sky in Jerusalem.
But the fire finally went out.
There is no need to recall the face of the king eroded by leprosy into a monster. He is a god-like figure, as bright as jade and immortal as a star.
The king gave Jerusalem to Barry. And Barry's enemies died, his friends were gone, and he was left alone in Jerusalem to face the overwhelming enemy army.
It was a decisive battle as grand and magnificent as guarding Minas Tirith in The Lord of the Rings III. The ant-like sea of people, the tall siege machines, and the rain-like arrows constitute a stirring battle song on the battlefield.
Barry's wisdom and strategy were revealed at this time. He is a born king.
At the end of the war, some people questioned.
"How can you guard Jerusalem without knights!"
Barry didn't answer, looking at a slender teenager behind him.
"Kneel down."
"All those present who are capable of guarding everyone, kneel down."
Barry slowly uttered the teachings of his father when he died.
"Be with out fear and face ur enemies,
Be brife ,and be bride that the god may love me,
Speak the truth, even it leads to your death,
Safe the guy that helpless,
That is ur own.
…"
Finally, Barry raised his hand and slapped the boy hard in the face.
"AND THAT IS SO YOU REMEMBER IT."
"RAISE A KNIGHT, RAISE A KNIGHT!"
"Who do you think you are! Do you think you can make people a knight? Can you make people a better warrior?"
Barry turned his head and replied calmly.
"YES." There is
no need to say those rhetoric any more. Under the night sky that swept through the city like fireballs, there was a real knight leading the people. Not to defend the city, but to protect the people in the city.
Finally when the peace talks were successful, Barry asked the other king.
"WHAT IS JERUSALEM WORTH?"
"NOTHING."
The man turned around with a smile, then turned back again after a few steps.
"EVERYTHING."
No need to worry about everyone's happy life after leaving Jerusalem, not to mention Barry who responded "I AM A BLACKSMITH." with a smile and finally found a happy princess by Barry's side. Those things are no longer important after that tragic event.
Maybe this is just an epic film that has long been regarded as a box office nightmare by filmmakers, but I have seen real knights, the actions of real knights, the responsibilities of real knights, and the real knights in this movie that can only be described as a classic. dream.
I will never forget this film, and I will never forget it. Because in the dream, there will always be a tragic and beautiful picture of fireballs like meteors piercing the darkness and hitting the city wall, and there will always be Barry's bright smile condensed with blood.
