Title: Which movie?
Post by: cowabounga on September 13, 2010, 09:21:43
Hi guys!
There's a game we've been playing at on tricornejock.com, it's called "which movie is it?" The idea is quite simple: this is a diorama I made after a movie, you guys have to find out which one it is!
Don't know if you can hide your answer on this forum (no "spoiler" icon?), but it would be nice to others if you could.

Here's the pic:

Any hint???

Kingdom of Heaven? Or am I too quick with the answer? Or is it wrong?

How is he presented?
I hope he is presented in at least a fairly decent image as he was a good man,
Just had different beliefs. :)

(Though some of his tactics were not so nice... Like Hattin.) :hmm:

I thought Salahadin was great too in this movie. But the plot itself wasn´t very good. For example, orphan boy grows up to be a blacksmith. Suddenly a knight dude turns up. I´m your daddy, boy. Come fight with me in the holy land. Orphan boy leaves his good running black smiths shop behind and joins him. And suddenly he can wield a sword very well (after not having years of practice like the other knights). Yeah right.

Great battle scenes though.

Yes the plot was far fetched I agree...But again, although Balian was a real historic figure certainly not like he is presented, how can you make a story interesting for the viewers to see on the big screen?

Use Richard the Lion heart instead! ;D
He was a noble and courageous character, almost like a movie star.
And you don't even need to tweak him. 0)

There is a, could I characterise it as funny, scene at the end of the movie...why Does Richard the Lionheart always appears for a few seconds at the end of such movies?

Maybe Richard Lionheart asked too much to appear longer in the movie?  ;D
The real Balian wasn't some vague offspring to a vague knight. He already lived in the middle east and was king of Tripoli (Lybia), therefore he was a knight and knew how to wield a sword. He was also much older than Orlando Bloom is supposed to be in the movie, around 40 which made him an old knight.
Salahadin does appear magnanimous in the movie, but, the true story is that when he won Jerusalem back, the knights were freed in after paying a ransom, a widely spread habit by that time. . I guess they could afford it.

That's the proper way of doing things. :yup:
