Kingdom of Heaven
Kingdom of Heaven is one of those movies that a person should see -a true story, a movie displaying the raw history of our civilization and an image of how noble men can be, how tolerant people can get, how mutual understanding is key for the peace and how deception and greed are the roots of war. A truelly brilliant movie by the director of ’The Gladiator’, this is a must-see masterpiece with the meaning of our existance embodied in it. It takes us from Britian, to property in Fethiye, then on to the Holy Lands, and displays the true nature of humanity and love all the way through.
The plot of the movie is centred around the Crusades in the Middle Ages aiming to gain control over Jerusalem and to strike back the Muslems from the Holy Lands of the christians. Being temporarily ruled by a fatally sick king, Jerusalem maintains with efforts the truce with the noble Muslem king who opposes the actions of some of the crusaders who came to the Holy lands looking for fortune, for glory and to war and not to maintain the main moral strongholds of their relligion.
In these complicated political circumstances the son of a noble christian Lord would take his father’s place among the rulers of the holy land to protect the interests neither of christians nor of muslems but these of people as a whole. Seeing the outrageous actions of some of the crusaders, estimating the inevitability of war and being a witness to the death of thousand of christian warriors, he leads the defence of Jerusalem against the approachin muslems. With pride, honour and love this young man will protect the lives of those who wanted no war, the orinary people and the real soldiers who wanted Jerusalem to be a better place. The young man will understand the muslems are noble and proud people who also know the price of the the human life and the value of peace.
A trueky inflential story, Kingdom of heaven presents a true image of our history displaying all the characteristics of men and mixing them with the real events that still interest many scholars and politicians.
