the value of a city

A film that was notorious, but became an epic classic when it was released on DVD as a director's cut. Watching this film again is really different from before. Although it is not an absolute classic, it is also worthy of the word epic. But there is a flaw in the film, that is, Berrian, played by Orlando Bloom, is obviously childish, and the acting of the Elf Prince is not enough to cope with this great hero. About the Crusades, there are too many stories of good and evil, politicians who started wars in the name of religion, crusaders with justice in their hearts who were used, and even careerists in the crusades. The Eastern Crusade accelerated the conflict between Eastern and Western values and the war between the Muslim world and the Christian world continues to this day. The Eastern Expedition has brought endless suffering to the people of Europe and West Asia, but it has brought Europe out of the dark age and embarked on the road of the Renaissance and the commercial civilization of the modern middle class. The war has brought pain to contemporary human beings, but it has promoted the pace of human progress... .. The little blacksmith Berrian was just about to turn around after successfully negotiating in Jerusalem, but stopped again and asked Saladin,
"What is the value of this Jerusalem, which is called the Holy City?"
Saladin turned around and asked. He said one word: "Nothing."
After a while, he turned around again, and Saladin smiled:
"Everything."

Imad: [a Saracen knight yells at Balian in Arabic] He says, that is his horse.
Balian of Ibelin: Why would it be his horse?
Imad: Because it is on his land.
Balian of Ibelin: I took this horse from the sea.
Imad: [Imad translates, the knight yells again] He says you are a great liar and he will fight you because you are a liar.
Balian of Ibelin: I have no desire to fight.
Imad: Then you must give him the horse.
