"I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing, Roman Cavalry choirs are singsing." - "Viva La Vida"

.


Two days ago, I took another look at "Kingdom of Heaven". Saladin's army of 200,000 people had not yet set out on the expedition, and the little blacksmith had not had time to meet the King of Jerusalem. Just watched the beginning of the video. Only then did I realize that the lonely standing cross under the deep sky was so emotional.

It has to go back to the year I won the first server mining for Wrath of the Lich King. Two years after this expansion was released globally, I was fortunate enough to take a boat north from the port of Stormwind City, landed in Howling Fjord, north to Grizzly Hills, traveled westward with the sound of Scottish bagpipes, crossed the Dragonblight and crossed the north. Wind Tundra, and finally to the Solaza Ring Basin, where I got my first server first.

Two years later, also in the sky of Stormwind City Port, take the alliance sky ship to south Pandaria. The sky carrier had just arrived, and before it was parked in mid-air, I jumped down and landed first. Fortunately, my ancestors fooled me, a corpse was lying on the ground, and the famous elbow was in front of me, oh no, Podong Village, of course, I was not attracted for too long by the barrels and the barrel-shaped aborigines. Fangyuan, finally in a mine near Tianchanyuan, I won the first place in server mining again. Now I think if I was at work when the third expansion pack was released... I


went to the North Pole.


The matter has to be traced back to a year, since I installed the same network cable as lo mein, I will silently right-click whenever I see something I am interested in.

In the first year, it was even worse. I was like a follower dog. I could even eat a green pepper seed. This movie is one of them.

Once the student council president and guild vice president called me to say that he had bought a new mobile phone, which was high-tech and smooth as silk. It's okay to watch the next movie, such as this director's cut of "Kingdom of Heaven". I said that I just downloaded this film, but I haven't watched it. It seems that we are all in the same boat. He is talking nonsense. Isn't it possible for people in the road to call you without any problems? You are so cool, you are absolutely amazing.

I didn't stand up to his flickering a few times, and when I swiped, the whole world went black.

The phone could not be turned on directly, and then that night, I used all kinds of blind swiping, line swiping, and card swiping.

In fact, the student council president and vice president of the guild were not by my side, otherwise he would be the one with these skills.

Of course, it can't be compared now, all kinds of one-key brushing ROOT or something, take care of the black screen.


Off topic again.


In fact, what I want to say is that in that year, I had the director's cut of "Reign of Heaven" on my hard disk. The hard disk was broken once by my broken disk, and after several twists and turns, I took it back again, about Three years later.

Many people have sisters who grew up with them on their hard drives. I also have many old movies lying on my hard drives. This is one of them.


When the blacksmiths of Ibelin first entered the holy city of Jerusalem, I had a feeling of déjà vu.

I followed Auditore to Istanbul, which was then called Constantinople.

Both cities are religious holy places, with mosques and cathedrals all over them, and the Crusades and Muslim holy wars also affected the two cities.

The Temple Mount and Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, every monument, every temple, Saladin once answered how much Jerusalem was worth when he broke down the city, and why the world fought for it.


Nothing but a city.

The supreme value, the hometown of the soul.


The Crusaders carried out a total of nine crusades for it in two hundred years.

The Muslims also stubbornly resisted, and under the leadership of the chivalrous King Saladin, they captured it.


Although the film takes the elf prince on the defensive side as the protagonist, the director does not hesitate to reflect the king's benevolence and righteousness in every scene where Saladin appears.

Saladin brought 200,000 troops to avenge the caravan, and met the king of Jerusalem on the battlefield. Seeing that the leper could not be frightened, he promised to let his rejuvenating imperial doctor keep him for diagnosis and treatment.

The city of Jerusalem will be destroyed, which is different from the slaughter of Christians. Saladin promises that as long as he gains the city, he will not kill anyone. Queen of Jerusalem, your daughter-in-law will also keep it for you. I am Saladin.

In another scene, after Saladin entered the city, he walked around the cross on the ground without stepping on it.

"Before you see the enemy, your virtue will spread among them." Saladin's teachings appear repeatedly in the film.


The King of Jerusalem, who rivals this legendary figure, is certainly not to be underestimated. Baldwin IV, played by Edward Norton, is gentle and far-sighted. Following human nature, he likes his kingdom to be peaceful and prosperous, and the coexistence of various ethnic beliefs is also the title of the film. The meaning of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The King of Jerusalem, who was ill from childhood but disabled, did not force others in the film. It was because he did not force his sturdy sister to marry others, which led to the exposure of tens of thousands of Templars afterward. The wilderness, the fall of the holy city, and the third and fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, and ninth expeditions of Richard the Lionheart after that.

Although Edward Norton did not appear in the whole film, and the King of Jerusalem never took off his mask when he was alive, the intimidating attitude of the king was very obvious. One word summed up the domineering side.

Like V played by Hugo Weaving, what's good about a good actor, even if he only shows his heel, he can play the role alive.


Finally, let's introduce the starring, Elf Prince Legolas and his father Liam Neeson.

"Kneel down, be fearless in the face of a strong enemy. Be loyal, brave, benevolent, and worthy of God. Speak upright and honest, rather die than lie. Defend the weak and become perfect. This is your oath. Slam! Remember it in your heart.

" Knight."


Finally, let's talk about the director. Director Rayleigh was born in the United Kingdom in 1937. As the deputy head of the Roger Pirates, he is over seventy-seven years old. , "Blade Runner", "Madonna", the famous "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down" and later "Stickman" and not long ago "Prometheus" are all from this master under the guide tube.

The old master is not only good at the visual effects of vast and magnificent scenes, but also adds profound ideological connotations to his works. He is not only good at shooting epic war movies, but also adept at horror sci-fi and emotional comedy. There is also news that the sequel "Prometheus 2" about the bloody case caused by a cup of Xiang has been prepared, and it is expected to be released in the next year or in the near future.

Looking at nearly 80, the old master is still tinkering with the alien and its immediate family, and the combat effectiveness is evident.


The Ibelin blacksmith who went to the east to redeem himself, the iron-masked monarch who retreated 200,000 by himself, and the king of Saracens who was full of chivalry.

The Templar Knights who returned home with all their souls, the fire and rain outside Jerusalem, the stories of knights have been passed down to this day, and the dream of a dynasty belonging to the kingdom of heaven seems far away.


The opening lyrics are not translated according to the original meaning, and it is easy to read.

In addition, the creative director of the sixth expansion piece of "World of Warcraft" is Flor of Iranian descent. Based on this, the strength of the Paladins after 6.0 can be analyzed.

    [The strong enemy is currently fearless. Dare to be loyal and worthy of God. Geng Zheng said frankly, he would rather die than blame. Protecting the weak is not against the laws of nature. Knights of Jerusalem, this is your oath. 】Orlando is as handsome as a god in this film, and absolutely pure men.
