At first, I just watched the theatrical version for Orlando's face, and I heard that the theatrical version and the full version are not the same movie. Ah, it is recommended to watch the full version directly. At the beginning of the story, the wife of Balian played by Orlando committed suicide. His priest brother tried every means to force him to leave his hometown in order to occupy his property. The canon forbids his suicide wife to be buried in the cemetery and destroy her body. After his brother, Balian came across the sea to the holy city of Jerusalem, looking for redemption and answers, but when he came to Jerusalem, sitting on the hill where Jesus was martyred, pilgrims came and went in the dark night. Like ghosts, he couldn't feel the existence of God, and he still didn't find the answer, "I have lost my faith anyway." Since then, the God that the priests used as a banner no longer exists in his mind. During the defense of the Holy City, when the bishop stopped him from burning the bodies of the dead, he said loudly: "God will forgive, if not, then he is not God, and we don't have to worry about it." When the king of Jerusalem was six years old I got leprosy, and it was also because of this movie that I knew how terrible leprosy was. The goal of his life was to wait for his nephew to grow up and pass the throne to him, but he didn't wait until he died. Sadly, his nephew also got leprosy in the back. This movie has to talk about Saladin, Muslims, Crusades, Charles the Lionheart, you can watch it if you are interested.

    When I mentioned the "Heavenly Kingdom", I thought of our great party-state. .

    1. A strong sense of epic! Not all such historical films are called epic films! 2. There is no delay in the rhythm, so although 3 hours is not long, the content is also very rich. 3. The scenes, props, costumes, and sets are all super detailed and the texture is super! 4. The soundtrack is very rich and impressive. 5. Although many characters have made a lot of aphorisms, they are quite touching on the whole. 6. The director's overall thinking style is very manly.

Kingdom of Heaven quotes

  • Gravedigger: [Sybilla has cut her hair and disguised herself as a common nurse] You are not a sister.

    Sybilla: We are what we do.

    Gravedigger: Then I'm a man who's traveled a long way to die for nothing. What would you say to that?

    [Balian walks by and Sybilla turns away]

    Sybilla: I would say that I'm sorry.

    Gravedigger: And I'm sorry for you... Queen of Jerusalem.

  • English Sergeant: [walking along the waterfront at Messina] When we took the Holy Land, we took the Saracen trading ports. The Italian ships carry silks and spices... and pilgrims, if they have money. And Italy becomes rich, as the Savior intended.

    Balian of Ibelin: [Balian sees a group of men praying on the beach] Who are those men?

    English Sergeant: Muslims. Saracens.

    Balian of Ibelin: And they are allowed their prayers?

    English Sergeant: If they pay the tax. "Subhana Rabbi'l Adhim."

    [he turns to Balian]

    English Sergeant: "Praise be to God. It is proper to praise him."

    Balian of Ibelin: Sounds like our prayers.
