However, let me say a few words, making such a film is bound to fail. It is not necessarily better than "Red Cliff". It is much more difficult than making "The Lord of the Rings", because it is history and characters. The severity is not good. The characters must not have their own characteristics, and the characters must not be too prominent. The heroism will be scolded, and the protagonist will be scolded even if the protagonist does not shine. I want to say that there are extra shots. Scott is courting his own death, hehe.
Don't look at it in vain, copy some historical background, let's take a look.
Background reading 1: Knights
Templar The Knights Templar are the most
aggressive knights in white robes and red crosses It is also the most elite army of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. From the siege of Damascus in 1129 to the fall of Akko in 1291, the Knights Templar participated in almost all battles in the Holy Land. In combat, each knight in the knights has dozens of people as support, so they can focus on their own combat goals, some people think that they are the predecessors of the elite special forces in the modern professional army. Generally, there are not many knights dispatched by the Knights Templar in the battle, and a few hundred people are a large force, but compared with the Arab army at that time, its actual combat capability far exceeds the figure itself.

The record of the leper king
In the battle of Montgisard, King Boduan IV of Jerusalem led 500 cavalry, 80 Templars and infantry to attack Saladin's 30,000-strong army. As a result, Saladin's most elite horse The Mullyuk cavalry was almost wiped out, with a total casualty of 20,000 men, and in the end less than a tenth of the troops escaped back to Egypt. You must know that Saladin is a master of soldiers, so such a fiasco cannot be explained by the level of commanding ability. It is precisely because of such a brave and skilled army that in the later Battle of Hardin, Guy, Gerard and others would leave the water source to attack Saladin's army without fear. Of course, this also led to the final fiasco.
Background reading 3:
Balian's defense of Jerusalem
The Battle of Jerusalem was a consequence of the Battle of Harding, which had a profound impact on the history of the Knights Templar, the history of Christianity, and even the history of the entire world. The Knights Templar also played an important role in this battle, but unfortunately A very sad character. Before the Battle of Hardin, the Kingdom of Jerusalem had serious disagreements over the succession to the throne. The noble faction headed by Raymond III of the Counties of Tripoli and the court faction supported by Gerard, the great leader of the Knights Templar, almost fought each other. Guy, who was backed by Gerard, came to power. Although this disagreement was reconciled by the arrival of Saladin's army, the seeds of distrust had already been planted. In early July 1187, Saladin personally led an elite force to attack Tiberias, and the main force was ambushed in the mountains near Tiberias. Raymond's wife was in Tiberias at that time. Tiberias, which had few defenses, was quickly captured, but Raymond's wife and men still held a fort and called for help from the Jerusalem army stationed in Avriliya. Raymond believed that this was Saladin's trick to lure the enemy. He wanted to lure the Jerusalem army away from Avuria, where there was a water source. Therefore, he suggested not to go to the rescue. He waited for Saladin's army in Avuria, and Saladin would never dispatch a large army. Probably just for a little Tiberias. But Gerard, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, dismissed Raymond's opinion as a traitor's treachery (Raymond had previously made a pact with Saladin, who helped Raymond seize the throne of Jerusalem, and later because of Cresen The war was abolished), and the main force was marching into Tiberias. Gerard had an old grudge with Raymond. He used to be a knight under Raymond. Raymond promised to help him marry a wealthy heiress, but in the end he broke his promise. Gerard thought he was being fooled and went to the temple instead. The Knights, all the way to the sky, were finally elected as the grand leader. Many believe that Gerrard's opposition to Raymond this time was just a personal grudge, and his emotional approach led to the final defeat. Guy, who was supported by Gerard on the stage, obeyed Gerard's advice and decided to lead the army to Tiberias to relieve the siege. Although many knights knew that it was dangerous to do so, they still went with the army to Tiberias out of loyalty. From Amphuria to Tiberias, we had to cross a barren and dry plateau, with the constant harassment of Saracen hussars along the way. Raymond's troops soon served as the vanguard, Guy as the center, and the rear guard. The Templar forces were disjointed, and due to thirst and the harassment of the Arab horse archers, Guy and Gerard's forces had difficulty moving forward, when they reached Mariscalcia, halfway between Amphuria and Tiberias . Gerard made another wrong choice at this time. He advised Guy to stop the main force and repair and repair it here. Wait for the rear guard to follow. Raymond, who was in front of him, sent a letter asking Guy to move quickly no matter what, and get to a place with a water source before dark. This time Guy followed Gerard's advice and stopped the main force at Mariscalcia. After this stop they could no longer go, and Saladin's main force came to surround them, and lit the weeds, the smoke and ashes made the thirst of Jerusalem's army more unbearable, while the surrounding Saladin's army sang praises loudly The hymn of Allah, psychologically disturbs the army of Jerusalem. After dawn, Guy organized the Jerusalem army to charge in an attempt to break through the siege, but due to extreme thirst and fatigue, the Jerusalem army had no fighting strength at all. It was not so much a battle as a cat playing with the palm of his hand. mouse. Finally Guy organized a phalanx to resist with the True Cross as the center. Many of the remaining knights could have broken through the siege with fast horses and heavy armor, but in order to protect the True Cross, they all fought to the death until Saladin ordered the slaughter to stop. The army in Jerusalem was almost annihilated, and the Christian holy cross was also taken by the Arabs. The most elite Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller were either killed in battle or executed by Saladin, but it is interesting that Saladin actually put After Gerard, the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar, perhaps thanks to him for bringing victory. As Jerusalem lost almost all of its army, it was quickly captured by Saladin. After the news of the fall of the Holy City reached the Holy See, Pope Urban III died on the spot due to extreme grief. After that, the third crusade began, but this is a digression, so I won't say more. The team was almost wiped out, and the Christian holy cross was also taken away by the Arabs. The most elite Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller were either killed in battle or executed by Saladin, but the interesting thing is that Saladin let it go. Gerard, the Grand Commander of the Knights Templar, perhaps thanked him for bringing victory. As Jerusalem lost almost all of its army, it was quickly captured by Saladin.

The last sentence, that kid is not as good as Saladin, just like Guo Jing in the Battle of Xiangyang, a commoner hero who has nothing to do with it. The attitude of making everyone a knight is proof. Datong in the world, come quickly. It's been 1,000 years, and it hasn't come yet. No wonder everyone says that the elf Orlando can't play this role. I feel pretty good.
