Watching this film 10 years ago, I felt very high and excited, the scene was big, and the play was cool.

When I watched this film again 5 years ago, I felt that Norton's acting skills were too good, and the Syrian actor who played Saladin was particularly handsome.

I watched this film again yesterday, and I felt that the screenwriter was full of nonsense. How could there be such a "pure" male protagonist, acting like a holy boy, then don't commit adultery, and I can't blame Orlando's poor acting skills, well, Orlando His acting skills are indeed average, but the screenwriter's lines for Orlando are full of half-hearted words, creating a muscular and simple-minded rough man, can it make people not nauseated?

Of course, there are so-called "the purpose is not pure, the result will not be pure", or "do not do evil for small things", or "can not sacrifice a person", such typical dogmatism, yes, people are contradictory, but When one person's decision will change the fate of countless people, the criterion should be pragmatism. Sacrifice the ego to benefit the public, that is, great virtue and great goodness. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? At the juncture of right and wrong, blindly pursuing moral cleanliness and clinging to the archway of morality, in the end, only an inconspicuous footnote can be left in the corner of the big stage of history, perhaps not at all.

Usually this kind of person is also pushed to a table that should not be on the table by accident.

"Hey, Orlando (Barian), don't you have no political ambitions? Why did you just go back and kill Muslims? Don't you want your moral archway?!" The

screenwriter ruined the whole play.

    It feels too emotional, but the visual effects are not bad

    On 7/10, after "Gladiator", Ridley Scott returned to the epic theme again. The director's cut of "Kingdom of the Kingdom" has a well-crafted, masterful storytelling, meticulous detailing, and a plethora of believable characters that, unsurprisingly, combine to make this epic masterpiece. However, like Scott's previous works, this film also has a slight problem of over-typing, and occasionally some scenes that should be implicitly dealt with are shown outright. In addition, Scott's ability to schedule large-scale war scenes is not very good, coupled with his undisguised intention to use war scenes to preach, resulting in several major war scenes in the film appear neat and uninteresting. The most moving scene is the fierce battle in the woods at the beginning, which is a relatively obvious flaw for a typical epic film like this. Kingdom of Heaven was greatly cut by the film crew when it was released in theaters, and the theater version suffered from both word-of-mouth and box-office failures. However, Scott's director's cut version released at the end of the same year successfully won back some praise for the film. Scott himself Announced that it would not recognize the theatrical version as his work.
