Yesterday i finally bought the Kingdom of Heaven vcd cos only $8, so just bought. Was interested when it was in theatres and bocos is related to the crusaders, knights templars, and especially the knights hospitallers but did not watch it cos the critics did not give good ratings to it. Then now since it was on offer, so just bought it, and i've found that it is very interesting movie. Later found that there is a director's cut version which has an additional 45mins, so surf on the the net to check and found that there was a subplot to the story. Now just wanted to get my hands on the director's cut version.
The movie is based on true events, and these events are some what very familiar then i remembered that i've read all these before in the knowledge of the order of st john. Although the characters are not very accurately portrayed lar, but read on the net that many of the actors have been praise by critics, especially jeremy irons, liam neeson, and edward norton who played the masked king baldwin IV.
Now the sad thing, even though this movie could be useful in the teaching of KOTO, it cannot be screen cos it has a NC16 rating which means those under 16 are not allowed to watch it, haiz...
Anyone who can get ur hands on one do watch it, especially those interested in knights templars, crusaders, knights hospitallers, or about christians during that time.
Ok see you guys nxt time, going to watch the movie a seond time now....cya!
