Kingdom Of Heaven 2005 Code Of Conduct
That is your oath.” Then Godfrey gives him a slap, like the symbolic blow to the cheek bishops used to give recipients of confirmation: “That’s so you remember it.”Balian struggles with loss of faith, fearing that he has fallen from grace and is beyond redemption. Ultimately, Balian negotiated the city’s surrender in exchange for a promise of mercy that the Crusaders had not shown the Muslims a century earlier.Subsequent crusades to reestablish Christian control in the Middle East failed and led to many unhappy consequences, perhaps the darkest of which was the sack of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade.In this highly fictionalized retelling, Balian is the illegitimate peasant son of the fictional Godfrey, working as a blacksmith until tragedy, heartbreak, and eventually guilt impel him to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the hope of atoning for his sins and those of his late wife, a suicide.From his father Balian learns a code of conduct for a knight to live and die by: “Be brave and upright that God may love thee speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. Christian forces had already been decimated at the Battle of Hattin, but Jerusalem’s Christian population remained well defended under the leadership of Balian of Ibelin.Balian held Saladin’s forces at bay, ultimately threatening to destroy the entire city — and, in a detail the film omits, kill all the Muslims in the city — rather than let the Christian population fall into Saladin’s hands. A decentralized campaign comprising regular armies and knights as well as peasant hordes, the Crusaders succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in 1099, but proceeded to slaughter all the city’s Muslim inhabitants, including women, children, and the elderly.The First Crusade established the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, which lasted until 1187, when the Muslim leader Saladin captured the city. Then in 1070, a new Muslim faction, the Seljuk Turks, seized control of Jerusalem, threatening the Christian presence throughout the Middle East and even into Europe.In 1095, European Christians, long preoccupied with internal conflicts, finally struck back, mounting the first Crusade against Muslim occupation in the Holy Land with the blessing of Pope Urban II. At no time, the film.It is over half a millennium since Muslim dominance first came to Jerusalem in 638 when the army of Caliph Omar conquered the Holy City, ending Christian control of Jerusalem for the next four and a half centuries.Throughout most of this era of Muslim control, Byzantine Christians and Western pilgrims had access to their holy sites in the city and throughout the Holy Land.
There are no depictions of Muslim clerics, good or bad. Saladin himself is essentially the only Muslim who emerges as a real character. This, he says, would be to sell his soul and he’s unmoved by the girl’s objection, “The day will come when you will wish you had done a little evil to do a great good.” (On the other hand, he does commit adultery with her at least once.)Despite mention of “fanatics” on both sides, Scott devotes far less time to developing the Muslim side of things. Beyond the clerics, there are also other good Christian characters, especially Jeremy Iron’s noble knight Tiberias, who supports Baldwin’s peace against Templar war-mongering.There’s also Balian himself, who refuses to murder a haughty rival even to potentially save the kingdom and get the girl (Eva Green), who is inconveniently married to the rival.
The rest of the cast — Norton, Irons, Massoud, Green, Neeson — is excellent.Unfortunately, first-time screenwriter William Monohan bogs down the obligatory love story in overwrought dialogue. Of course Gladiator had Russell Crowe, and Bloom’s not in his league, but he grows nicely into the role, and his character arc is more interesting. Its hero, Balian, is more engaging than, say, Gladiator’s Maximus, who neither grows nor changes throughout the course of the film. “Thank you, your Eminence, you’ve taught me so much about religion,” Balian sneers after the Jerusalem Patriarch has alternately suggested abandoning the Christian populace of Jerualem to slaughter or converting to Islam and repenting later as a means of saving their necks.In a historical epic genre that lately has been fueled substantially by revenge (Scott’s own Gladiator Troy Braveheart) or even less ( King Arthur Alexander), Kingdom of Heaven aspires to be about something more: conscience, right action, and above all peaceful coexistence. Kingdom of Heaven isn’t anti-God or even necessarily anti-faith, but there’s an element of anti-religious sentiment at work here. Even the Hospitaler, the most positive religious character, is more a spokesman for conscience than for faith per se.
Kingdom of Heaven doesn’t take sides or fault one over the other in the struggle over Jerusalem, but it ultimately leans toward the agnostic conclusion that the world might be better off if there were no temple wall, no mosque, no sepulchre for Christians, Jews, and Muslims to fight over. On the other hand, some of the violence, especially a combat scene set in France, is needlessly brutal and explicit.The climactic battle sequence, though, ends with a striking image: an overhead “God shot” of Christian and Muslim warriors pressing on either side of a breach in the wall, anonymous, indistinguishable, ineffectual. The world always decides.”Epic siege sequences have become so numerous lately ( The Two Towers The Return of the King Troy King Arthur) that I thought I had seen it all, but Scott has some new tricks up his sleeve, and the siege of Jerusalem is more dramatic than it has any right to at this point. Afterwards, she wonders, “What will become of us?” Balian’s profound reply: “The world will decide. Whoops, nothing between them now. “I’m here because here in the east, between one person and another, there is only light.” Before Balian can wonder what precisely that’s supposed to mean, she blows out the candle she’s holding.
