Kingdom Of Heaven
Director Ridley Scott confronts hundreds of years of religious conflict in KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. An epic film set in Europe and the Middle East, the story follows one man's struggle to better himself and the world around him. Orlando Bloom stars as Balian, a French blacksmith who is mourning the deaths of his wife and baby when his estranged nobleman father (Liam Neeson) arrives and asks him to join the Crusades in Jerusalem. Mindful that conducting the Lord's work will help him atone for his sins, Balian agrees, and embarks on the perilous journey. Along the way, he reveals his gifts of inherent goodness and fair treatment of all human beings. Upon reaching Jerusalem, a city where his meagre beginnings no longer matter, Balian earns respect and fealty, while the evil Guy de Lusignan (Marton Csokas) looks down his aristocratic nose at the former labourer. As he did in GLADIATOR, Scott explores the theme of a man who chooses his fate, instead of accepting the fate given to him at birth. Balian comes to life in Jerusalem, protecting the weak and defenceless as his father told him he must, and catching the eye of the beautiful Princess Sibylla (Eva Green), unhappily married to de Lusignan. Scott paints a stirring portrait of the struggle over Jerusalem among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. In doing so, he also shows the passionate fight for religious freedom. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ably handles these delicate issues, effectively treating characters from all factions as individuals and not as stereotypes. By placing a virtuous man at the centre of this conflict, Scott creates a powerful, universal story.

Ridley Scott is a genius
However, this is not one of his best movies. It gets a bit boring and flat in the end and you tend to forget what you are watching. The cast and the photography... read more »

Body of Lies
- 24 Nov 2008
As topical as the next terrorist attack, Ridley Scott’s CIA thriller has all the ingredients of a powerhouse movie, but it takes an awfully long time to cook. Scripted by William Monaghan (who wrote The Departed and Kingdom of Heaven) from a novel by David Ignatius (like Monaghan, a political journalist), the movie aspires to be less James Bond and more Syriana – with a handful of Jason Bourne set pieces thrown in. But while it does have some shrewd things to say about the state of Read more
