More than just audiovisual enjoyment

First of all, I'm not a fan of Elf Prince, but I've never missed any big-budget Hollywood production,
especially when the film's producer and director's previous experience
has super entertaining ears like Black Hawk Down and Gladiator. and eyeball films.
The result is quite unexpected. In addition to more than 2 hours of audio-visual enjoyment,
this film rarely provides the audience with another perspective on Christianity and Muslims.
Although it is a Hollywood production through and through,
most of the Christians in the film are greedy, incompetent, and disgusting, while the Muslims on the other side of the conflict are portrayed as more likable.
The Elf Prince has the worst acting skills in the whole film. He can't even read the lines loudly and imposingly.
(It's worse than Pitt in Troy, which is rare.) I
like the line at the end of the film. Balian and Saladin are in As he negotiated the terms to end the war,
Balian looked at the countless casualties and asked; "What is Jerusalem worth?"
Saladin replied, "Nothing," before taking a few steps back and saying, "Everything."

    The sense of history and religion is strong, and music has the finishing touch.

Kingdom of Heaven quotes

  • Godfrey of Ibelin: You are not what you were born, but what you have within yourself to be.

  • Balian of Ibelin: [to the people of Jerusalem] It has fallen to us, to defend Jerusalem, and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims. No Muslim of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offence we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended. What is Jerusalem? Your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down. The Muslim places of worship lie over yours. Which is more holy?

    [pause]

    Balian of Ibelin: The wall? The Mosque? The Sepulchre? Who has claim? No one has claim.

    [raises his voice]

    Balian of Ibelin: All have claim!

    Bishop, Patriarch of Jerusalem: That is blasphemy!

    Almaric: [to the Patriarch] Be quiet.

    Balian of Ibelin: We defend this city, not to protect these stones, but the people living within these walls.
