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.
