Jerusalem is the holy city, the birthplace of Judaism, and the holy city of Christianity and Islam. Abrahamic religions were born here, and the world will end here at the end of the day, so Jerusalem is also a city of death, pilgrims died in Jerusalem and were buried around the Temple Mount in preparation for the resurrection at the end of the day. Go to Jerusalem, so the city is surrounded by and built on a cemetery.
There are too many legends in history about the struggle for the city of Jerusalem. The film "Kingdom of Heaven" integrates the stories of many people into one person, Belion. It tells a very romantic legend. It may not conform to the historical facts, but it also focuses on the overall feeling of the Middle Ages, showing the deeds of a series of heroes such as Belion, Baldwin IV, and Saladin in that era. , and also showed many customs of that era. It is worth noting that the film treats different religions with considerable respect. Whether it is Catholicism or Islam, there are heroes he admires and general characters he portrays. Just thinking back, what exactly was Scott trying to say? Bellion came to Jerusalem to atone for the sins of himself and his wife. At that time, he believed in dogma and was disheartened. He felt that his wife and himself were both going to hell, but because some priests said that Jerusalem could remove him sin, so he came with this belief to redeem himself and his wife, but when he came to Jerusalem to pray but got no answer, he began to become a little confused, didn't know his true direction, and lost His own beliefs, but the hospital knight told him that the real beliefs lie in what he thinks and does every day, so in the end he understands that the so-called rules do not represent the whole of beliefs, beliefs should be personal That is, put it into practice in your heart, instead of putting it into your mouth to become a tool of moral kidnapping or robbery. Only in this way can you be different from those who shout the slogans of justice and are cowardly when they die, because They are not actually true believers.
In fact, the same is true of Saladin and Baldwin IV portrayed in the movie. Baldwin IV did not confess to the bishop before his death. He said that he would confess to God alone, and Saladin had no fanatical pressure to go to war against Jerusalem. , he understands that military strength, water sources, and fighter planes are the keys to victory, and it is such a personal belief that the director appreciates. There is a bridge in the film. Bellion said that the thorns caught fire was just a chemical reaction, but then another thorn also caught fire, and the hospital knight disappeared without a trace. The film did not completely deny miracles and beliefs. existence, let us find a true place of faith in life in such stories.
