Kingdom and heaven are both big words. It's time to take a good look at the history of the West, otherwise you'll always be lost in the turmoil of the Crusades without your own judgment.

Orlando Bloom 10 years ago was not as good-looking as the Elf Prince, and at first glance he didn't look like a male protagonist. Although the character is almost perfect, he plays with some caution. From a blacksmith of dubious origin to a warrior who made the greatest achievement or the greatest sacrifice, his change was too sudden. Edward Norton Edward Norton always hides behind the mask. Only an actor like him can create an inexplicable aura solely by his lines and body shape.

Several Arabs who have a high number of appearances in Hollywood have come out, with Priest played by Michael Sheen, Hospitaler played by David Thewlis, Tiberias played by Jeremy Irons (his Running away, it makes people unbelievable) These gold medals and green leaves compete for attention together. There are many arguments about the story of this film, but the pictures of the war and the strength of the actors are really beyond reproach. I love Aladdin's "what is Jerusalem worth" line in response to Balian's question and everything he says back, his accent is peculiar but it sounds regal. He was the victor of this war, but three years later he had struck a rare balance with the Lionheart, who was besieging the city. The holy city of Jerusalem, as long as the faith of mankind exists, is destined to have stories going on all the time.

    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.

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

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

    Balian of Ibelin: Sounds like our prayers.
