Sword, hymn, faith, knight!

Not everyone can be a knight, even if your shield has a noble badge, even if your sword is on the battlefield red with the blood of your enemies, even if your armor is engraved with gorgeous hymns...

194 minutes Movies do not necessarily create a classic, but they create an epic. Maybe, there are too many movies that tell us what a hero is, but never a movie really tells us what a knight is. This name that makes people's blood boil once it is mentioned in Europe seems to be a too fanatical belief in itself. What does the chivalry that once fascinated Don Quixote mean? It is a beautiful honor guard in the horse team. A gorgeous sword on a beautiful belt, or some elegant singing...

Maybe, only when we raise the sword in our hands to defend someone, we can really understand that a knight is to protect What exists, behind the shield and the body, is the hope that makes us fight...

I don't know if everyone is like me, seeing those who are wearing heavy armor on horseback People are full of passion and sentimentality when they are at the last stand, but I can be sure that some spirits can definitely be told to us through film, probably those hymns are sung for a long time, as if they themselves make some things great, some great The things that have become insignificant in the face of a spirit...

ps: 50 minutes kills a classic, I finally saw it...

    It feels too emotional, but the visual effects are not bad

    On 7/10, after "Gladiator", Ridley Scott returned to the epic theme again. The director's cut of "Kingdom of the Kingdom" has a well-crafted, masterful storytelling, meticulous detailing, and a plethora of believable characters that, unsurprisingly, combine to make this epic masterpiece. However, like Scott's previous works, this film also has a slight problem of over-typing, and occasionally some scenes that should be implicitly dealt with are shown outright. In addition, Scott's ability to schedule large-scale war scenes is not very good, coupled with his undisguised intention to use war scenes to preach, resulting in several major war scenes in the film appear neat and uninteresting. The most moving scene is the fierce battle in the woods at the beginning, which is a relatively obvious flaw for a typical epic film like this. Kingdom of Heaven was greatly cut by the film crew when it was released in theaters, and the theater version suffered from both word-of-mouth and box-office failures. However, Scott's director's cut version released at the end of the same year successfully won back some praise for the film. Scott himself Announced that it would not recognize the theatrical version as his work.
