"Your qualities will be known, among your enemies, before ever you meet them." that line has been an integral part in my life since the first time i saw this movie
This is a case where only the Director's Cut is even valid. The theatrical cut is just a dumb action movie with no context or meaning, while the DC is a beautiful historical drama.
When Saladin offers the cup of water (ice) to Guy, its a symbolic gesture; When you drink from it, you become his guest (instead of a prisoner) and you wont have to fear being harmed (the guest-right is taken very serious). Thats why Saladin clarified to Reynald, that he didnt offer the cup to him, after he took it from Guy and drank from it.
Renau that red head guy templer caused that chaos yes, he attacked an unarm pilgrimage to Mecca from Syria...there supposed to be a peace treaty between Saladin and The crusader kingdom so Renaud should not attacked the pilgrims. But he did so Saladin came from Damascus with his army to avenge his people.
In real life though the red guy is a good guy who mostly defended the pilgrims. The muslims are the ones who often raided and actually imprisoned and tortutered the guy for decades after being ransomed back by the King.
Reactions to this underrated epic are extremely rare on YT so thank you, David & Toni for watching this. You should also consider reacting to THE LAST DUEL (another medieval epic also directed by Ridley Scott). Best wishes to you both.
It helps when you have a working understanding of the different eras of Western and Near Eastern history even though this story was far from accurate it gives one a ride back to our shared past in an engrossing storyline. Thanks for sharing your feelings about this movie.
In history, Salahudin's sister wasn't captured. That was added to make Salahudin's reaction less cynical. The actual Balian was Liam Neeson's age. In history, Queen Sybilla stayed with her husband. The last king, bad Guy, outlived them all, as King of Cyprus.
They never kill his sister but they kill his 2 sons. Salahuddin never want revenge, he did this because treaty from Muslim to Christian who live inside Jerusalem. Majority of them are Christian orthodox but crusaders killed them as they saw them as blasphemy What saladin did is give justice to that treaty and you guys can still read it if you guys go to Jerusalem, it's written under second caliph of Muslim name umar ibn Al khattab, one of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) companion.
This is the better version, because elements of the story are restored that are important. Balian's brother is a villain. Balian's character development is the point of the story. There are aspects that are happening in Balian's imagination. Balian's vision regarding his dead wife and of Sybilla, at the end, reflect his emotions. A good action movie, even if you aren't religious.
Yes that was incense, because hygiene was not really in fashion by the Christians. Hygiene was more practiced by Islam and their medical practices were more advanced than in Europe. They also gave us mathematics. Cibelas was also a leper like his uncle the king. It shows more in the director's cut.
i dont know who told you, or what made you choose... but the Directors Cut versus the release version are almost 2 different movies. Glad you choose the right one. It's one of my favourite movies.. Me and my friend always send quotes from this movie to each other. Earned SUB! All the best.
King and his nephew had leprosy. A little bit of penicillin could have saved both of their lives. I am a historian, and this is one of my favorite films. The cinematography is extraordinary. And I love the fact that it portrays the regular people on both sides in a decent light. I love the friendship that ensues from the point the horse tries to be taken by the Islamic Lord, until the other Islamic Lord and his friend gives the horse back. That relationship is dynamic. It's one of the things that makes this film so extraordinary. But they do a good job of capturing the period and what everything was like during that time. And you're right, the average age was somewhere between 30 to 50. The wealthier you were the longer your lifespan. Normally. Even at the time of the American Revolution, it was rare for someone to live as long as Washington and Franklin. Even at the turn of the last century, the late 19th century early 20th century, the average family had eight kids, four of whom made it to adulthood. I can't even imagine the world they lived in where they had to be that comfortable with death. Braveheart is an extraordinary film as well. You'll also like last of the Mohicans with danielis and Madeline Stowe, and of course dances with wolves with Kevin Costner.
Fun Fact: The knight know as the "Hospitaler" (The Black and White Cross good guy) was actually a "angel" of sorts, or a messenger from God. If you go back and pay close attention you will notice how certain lines he speaks as someone who has been in Gods presence......and then how he is a kinda mythical messenger.......and at the very end he says that he will speak with Baylians father and tell him what hes become. Theres a couple videos on youtube that go into it well
Personally, I think this film (Director's Cut) is in his Top 5 from the 21st Century so far along with American Gangster, Black Hawk Down, The Martian, and Gladiator.
WOW🤔I'm Sorry that I've never seen this one before! I'd always heard about it but, IDK, just never thought that it looked like My kind of Movie!🤷♂Thank You-Both for this one tonight: Brilliant Reaction, Perfect Editing, and a whole lot of FUN in the Chat...😉👍
Cutting down the scene where your main character said ''the christian killed every Muslim when they took the city.'' And also cutting Salahuddin's reply. You guys were so much on pain when Salahuddin beheaded his sister's killer.Wow.Nice, nice.In order to protect the namely religion Christianity of your, you are even forgetting to understand what is wrong and right here.Nice. keep this islamophobic attitude and we shall see what's the reward you get from Allah at judgement day for this!!!
In my opinion one of the sadder failings of this movie was killing off the “crew” his father had so soon. That’s a rag tag team if I’ve ever seen one and I’d love to see them all live longer. The German and the one guy who was with him the longest before the ship crash specifically
Easily one of Ridley Scott's greatest films!! 20th Century Fox mutilated an incredible film by cutting it down for the theatrical release!! LONG LIVE THE DIRECTOR'S CUT!!! ⚔️👏👏👏
Salahuddin is real legendary military commander and great warrior...also great good Muslim sultan...who actually respected Christians and jews under his rule in Jerusalem...Baldwin also was a like him ..good guy but other Christian king after actually killed innocent jews,Muslims and even their own Christian people..but under Salahuddin everyone lived happily it is actually recorded by Christian historians...that time leaders of Muslims and Christians kept peace ✝️☪️❤ but NOW islamic rulers and Christian rulers ...= SHAMEFUL!!!
Jerusalem was took prior to this when the crusades slaughtered every Muslim & Jew in the city, which led to salahuddin capturing it back. Also balian is not an actual person, the filmmakers of this has already stated that he was heavily fictionalized, everyone else though is real.
@@CAI2045 Balian is as real as Raynald or Sybila. All the characters in the film existed but all of them are heavily fictionalized, to the point that most of them representes or did the opposite of what they are in the film. The general context, this "crussaders are barbaric troglodytes and muslims are pious strategyst" is ofc horseshit too.
Would like to suggest you guys research the Crusades which will help with understanding the real lives and events of the characters involved in this movie and then if you feel like it watch this again. While it is more fun to go into movies not knowing anything about them there are exceptions this being a major one. After he returned to France Balian joined King Richard I (Richard the Lionheart) on a 3rd Crusade and at the Battle of Jaffa in 1192 Balian defeated Saladin again, he died shortly after. Sybilla did not cheat on Guy that is one of the 452 inaccuracies in this movie.
What surprises me most in this movie is how the character of Saladdin is portrayed. For decades, Hollywood has portrayed Arabs as primitive, lustful, terrorists or tyrants. In addition to the character of Omar Al-Mukhtar, played by the actor Anthony Quinn in "lion of the desert"
The historical accuracy of this movie is about 3/10. Most of the names are correct (although Bailian was at least 20 decades older, and a noble since birth). Most of the costumes are more or less plausible. Some of the historical scenes were correct. But other than that it is a pure fantasy. Basically NONE of the characters act like their historical selves.
The usual Hollywood wrecking of history. Balian was never a blacksmith and never lived in France. He was born and lived in the Holy Land. He was in his 40s at the time of the fall of Jerusalem. His wife wasn't dead, she (widow of Amalric IV iirc) was alive and well at the time of the movie. When Balian was captured at Hattin, he was allowed to return to Jerusalem for one day to retrieve his wife. Balian didn't need to teach his people about irrigation, they'd been doing it for centuries. There was no romance with Sybilla. She was entrenched in the "Frankish" faction her husband belonged to. Balian was in the "Nativist" faction, which believed that they needed to live in peace with their neighbors. Sallah Al-Din wanted Jerusalem because he wanted Jerusalem. He didn't "release" the people of Jerusalem, he ransomed them. Any who couldn't afford the ransom were sold into slavery.
Wrong, salahuddin never sell them as slave, who teach you that obviously lacking knowledge of Islam. Salahuddin want Jerusalem because it's treaty between second caliph of Muslim named umar bin Al khattab with Christian orthodox that Muslim will protect this city and allowed Christian to live as citizen. You can go there to Jerusalem and go read about treaty, it's still the there. Crusaders came and killed Christian orthodox along with Muslim because crusade saw them as blasphemy, go read how crusades ransacked balkan and kill thousands of Christian orthodox when they moved from French to Italy to Greece to syria
Jesus Christ is the way he sacrificed himself for our sins hope you will let Jesus in to your heart and come to him and ask for forgiveness my god bless you ❤️✝️
@stathissdz2125 The one advantage I see in this movie is that it might lead people to research the real events. I think Orlando Bloom was a terrible choice but that is nothing compared to the inaccuracies in the depiction of events. Having said that casting Edward Norton was nothing short of brilliant.
Its sad that this movie is almost complete BS lol The facts were nothing like this. Sybilla really loved Guy and they were close togethet. Balian was a local high lord and not a random bastard from France. He was also married with a very important noble lady. Part of Jerusalem population were enslaved after the fall. Others had to pay ransom to leave. Balian did have fairly good relations with the muslims. He was considered a noble enemy. Guy and Reynald were not cartoon vilains. There were many skirmishes going around between muslims and christians. Saladin was overall building up and wanting to attack. Guy and Reynald were just trying to mess him up as much as possible in order to slow him down. Yes, in the end Guy did a serious blunder leading the army to Hattin. He did not prove to be a good military strategist. But again, he was no cartoon vilain.
@@ReligionIsSilly And its terrible that we constantly allow Hollywood mess up with other people´s history. Just imagine if they would do a serious movie messing up important characters in American history. Imagine an historical epic around the US Civil War and Robert Lee is some random english guy coming from England. This is complete BS! If you want to make a fictional story do it! Change names, create a fictional world which is similar to the real one. Or, even better, write historical fiction around real events but keep the real characters as they were.
Saladin didn't want to attack, he did this because a treaty between Muslim and Christian orthodox who live inside Jerusalem. This what happened when you didn't look back along the history what happened 300++ years earlier. Second caliph of Islam named umar ibn Al khattab manage to rule Jerusalem, when he entered Jerusalem, no bloodshed happened. After he entered and pray solah, he with Christian leader make a treaty that Muslim will rule Jerusalem as long as Muslim protect Christian and give their rights and never destroy religious building nor kill people inside Jerusalem. That treaty is still there in Jerusalem. Majority of crusaders are Catholic, they saw orthodox as blasphemous and want holy land for themself. When crusaders entered Jerusalem, they kill 80K people including Christian orthodox. Saladin want to give that treaty rise again in Jerusalem by kicking out those crusaders because they act like barbarian and didn't respect treaty. Even among Christian scholar said crusaders only using Christian name but what they did is pillaging along from Italy to Jerusalem from money, to jewellery to village just like what ISIS did in middle east
It’s confusing but that was a time when HONOR in battles was a must , the king send his medics to the other king while he ask for not to fight to avoid massive killings , they fight when there is no option, the final : the decided the peoples life is more important than a city, maybe Americans just don’t get it
Dont get me wrong there is no honor here in our today standards. Saladin raided, murdered, and enslaved tens of thousands of people before, during and after the events of this film. But the film showed his best moments.
Man both of you guys especially your wife needs some history lesson... But you have a beautiful soul as wife...your wife have high moral standards...hard to find it in this world
The First Three Crusades were religeous and hardship adventure in foreign lands..and in hundreds of years, the landscape has not changed…nor has the people..and throughout the world..50 years of age was old..60…ancient..65..dead..mostly because of sanitation, unhealthy eating, disease, and poverty…cities were filthy and disease spread..like the Black Plague which killed 60% of Europe from infected rats hitching rides on ships from Asia going to ports in Europe..
@@n8vsarestillhere111 1) the Crusades didn't affect America 2) do you know how complex the events of the Crusades were? We may never know everything that happened between the Knights amd Arab Caliphate.
@@matthewprince9705I'm from india and I know a thing or two about crusades...if you say crusades didn't affect america then it's partially false...christisnity and islam fights every where..even 911 is a continuation of jihaad
Why couldnt they both be single? If you meant getting divorce, christians can not get divorced actually. They were simply following it very well back then. Either way, people used to get married very very young. According to some researches, well, many widows were at their "teens ages" (teen according to today's "standard"). Specially ladies, they were married very young around the age of 10 y.o, even in europe. So, the reality for this movie would be closer by subtracting the ages of the actors by 10-15 years. Perhaps that queen was actually under 20 y.o or even under 15 y.o. In the end of this movie, salahudin said "because im salahudin". But actually, the real quote was "im muslim". I guess hollywood got too much pride for the actual quote.
hey ki kill caraven people for looting thats why saladin try to war plz make understand first before you watching this this movie is not a diffcult one.....
In the time Jerusalem is place where muslim, Kristen and new live together But Kristian people kill many muslim And finally war come But Saladin king of muslim not kill Kristian people because when Islam rule win in the batle every enemy Will safe and get free
I wouldn't go for the director's cut. You can find some good ones and that's not one of them. R. Scott used the movie to make a cultural statement and he went too far with this one.
"Your qualities will be known, among your enemies, before ever you meet them." that line has been an integral part in my life since the first time i saw this movie
The LONG one?
i send this quote to my friend at least once a year
that's such a kool line ...and i love the relationship between those 2 characters in the movie ...
Drastically under rated film.
Nope! Unless the Long one!
Saladin was a respected king, even among his enemies who respected his fortitude and compassion on the battlefield.
Unfortunately he fought for the devil against God,as every muslim does today..repent too Jesus or suffer eternally, the choice is yours alone 😢

❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
This is an amazing film, but only the DC.
Its sad that this movie is almost complete BS lol
The facts were nothing like this.
Sybilla really loved Guy and they were close togethet.
Balian was a local high lord and not a random bastard from France. He was also married with a very important noble lady.
Part of Jerusalem population were enslaved after the fall. Others had to pay ransom to leave.
Balian did have fairly good relations with the muslims. He was considered a noble enemy.
Guy and Reynald were not cartoon vilains. There were many skirmishes going around between muslims and christians.
Saladin was overall building up and wanting to attack. Guy and Reynald were just trying to mess him up as much as possible in order to slow him down.
Yes, in the end Guy did a serious blunder leading the army to Hattin. He did not prove to be a good military strategist.
But again, he was no cartoon vilain.
ummm...it is a Hollywood movie, everyone knows this, it's not a history class.
@@ReligionIsSilly
And its terrible that we constantly allow Hollywood mess up with other people´s history.
Just imagine if they would do a serious movie messing up important characters in American history.
Imagine an historical epic around the US Civil War and Robert Lee is some random english guy coming from England.
This is complete BS!
If you want to make a fictional story do it! Change names, create a fictional world which is similar to the real one.
Or, even better, write historical fiction around real events but keep the real characters as they were.
Saladin didn't want to attack, he did this because a treaty between Muslim and Christian orthodox who live inside Jerusalem. This what happened when you didn't look back along the history what happened 300++ years earlier.
Second caliph of Islam named umar ibn Al khattab manage to rule Jerusalem, when he entered Jerusalem, no bloodshed happened. After he entered and pray solah, he with Christian leader make a treaty that Muslim will rule Jerusalem as long as Muslim protect Christian and give their rights and never destroy religious building nor kill people inside Jerusalem. That treaty is still there in Jerusalem.
Majority of crusaders are Catholic, they saw orthodox as blasphemous and want holy land for themself. When crusaders entered Jerusalem, they kill 80K people including Christian orthodox. Saladin want to give that treaty rise again in Jerusalem by kicking out those crusaders because they act like barbarian and didn't respect treaty. Even among Christian scholar said crusaders only using Christian name but what they did is pillaging along from Italy to Jerusalem from money, to jewellery to village just like what ISIS did in middle east
It’s confusing but that was a time when HONOR in battles was a must , the king send his medics to the other king while he ask for not to fight to avoid massive killings , they fight when there is no option, the final : the decided the peoples life is more important than a city, maybe Americans just don’t get it
Dont get me wrong there is no honor here in our today standards. Saladin raided, murdered, and enslaved tens of thousands of people before, during and after the events of this film. But the film showed his best moments.
@@majorianus8055 seems like your obsessed with Salahudin (May Allah have mercy on him). get that hatred outta your head it's spoiling you
@@iSaud_maybe if you practiced your english instead of inbreeding so much you would make more sense
Man both of you guys especially your wife needs some history lesson...
But you have a beautiful soul as wife...your wife have high moral standards...hard to find it in this world
This historical story should also be seen from the Muslim point of view so that people know why Muslims give importance to this historical event.
are they watching the directors cut
R Scott take liberties with history, but it's a good movie, not the best R S movie but this movie do the job : épic, brutal ...
The First Three Crusades were religeous and hardship adventure in foreign lands..and in hundreds of years, the landscape has not changed…nor has the people..and throughout the world..50 years of age was old..60…ancient..65..dead..mostly because of sanitation, unhealthy eating, disease, and poverty…cities were filthy and disease spread..like the Black Plague which killed 60% of Europe from infected rats hitching rides on ships from Asia going to ports in Europe..
Really classic movie. But not such a bad time to be alive if you're a standup philosopher and too old to conscript into the armies.
Do you know what the Christians did when they took it from the muslims
Man. Your cam footage is too big
LOL
bruh imma not say anything lol
It's all just from the Christianhistory point of view ....
Not from Islamic.....
On the contrary it's doing muslims a favour...it's potraying Christians as the bad guys...
Have your wife open a history book
@@n8vsarestillhere111 1) the Crusades didn't affect America 2) do you know how complex the events of the Crusades were? We may never know everything that happened between the Knights amd Arab Caliphate.
@@matthewprince9705I'm from india and I know a thing or two about crusades...if you say crusades didn't affect america then it's partially false...christisnity and islam fights every where..even 911 is a continuation of jihaad

Dont take this film as historically accurate representation of the times
Why couldnt they both be single? If you meant getting divorce, christians can not get divorced actually. They were simply following it very well back then.
Either way, people used to get married very very young.
According to some researches, well, many widows were at their "teens ages" (teen according to today's "standard").
Specially ladies, they were married very young around the age of 10 y.o, even in europe.
So, the reality for this movie would be closer by subtracting the ages of the actors by 10-15 years.
Perhaps that queen was actually under 20 y.o or even under 15 y.o.
In the end of this movie, salahudin said "because im salahudin".
But actually, the real quote was "im muslim".
I guess hollywood got too much pride for the actual quote.
They are not understanding an English movie wow. 😂 Dumbs
Toni had the look of total cluelessness throughout this entire movie.
😂
hey
ki kill caraven people for looting
thats why saladin try to war
plz make understand first before you watching this
this movie is not a diffcult one.....
In the time Jerusalem is place where muslim, Kristen and new live together
But Kristian people kill many muslim
And finally war come
But Saladin king of muslim not kill Kristian people because when Islam rule win in the batle every enemy Will safe and get free
The Europeans forcefully returned to Jerusalem in 1948 under a different name
Toni's smile is always so sweet and lovely 🙂
@@dlf4542 @popculturallychallenged her green top was very fetching! And she doesn't wear red lipstick 💄 enough!
@@matthewprince9705 What?
Worst reaction
I wouldn't go for the director's cut.
You can find some good ones and that's not one of them. R. Scott used the movie to make a cultural statement and he went too far with this one.
