There are many legends about the Crusades, because in times of trouble, there will always be too many heroic figures scolding Fang Qiu. Jerusalem, the holy city, is naturally a battleground for the military. The founding king is always desirable, but unpaid heroes are more likely to resonate with us, such as Xiang Yu, Jing Ke, and Yue Fei. "A strong man will never return once he's gone", "Thirty years of fame and dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon", for thousands of years, what seven-foot man has not been excited about this?
Therefore, the hero I like is the young king who defeated Saladin at a young age, and the rotten body that was supposed to expand the territory but was devoured by leprosy. There are two famous men in the iron mask in history, both of whom have an indissoluble bond with France.
I have to praise Edward Norton's acting skills here. The whole film does not show his face, but it is not much inferior to the "elf prince". I'm the only one", all of which show the youthful king's former glory. If it weren't for leprosy, maybe he would have built an empire that spanned Asia, Europe and Africa, just like Aristotle's most famous student.
As for the historical view of this film, it is obvious that the director advocates "benevolence". Yes, apart from the war against aggression, how can there be any just war? However, thousands of years later, that land is still in constant wars, and no one, be it Israel or Palestine, is qualified to drive out the people living in that land based on the records written in a book thousands of years ago.
Thousands of years later, Jerusalem is still there, the story of Saladin and the legend of Baldwin IV.
