>Balian, please marry my sister, Sibylla (played by Eva Green) and breed her so the kingdom may have heirs.
>I'm begging you, Balian. Get her pregnant and reign as protector of the realm so that Jerusalem does not fall to the Muslims.
Why didn't Balian just do it?
Because she was married and they were going to kill her husband to facilitate the marriage.
He didnt want that on his soul, so he did the right thing and stood his ground and saved his soul and ended up with the girl fairly
He'd already committed adultery and murdered for far less
Why not to save the kingdom?
Hecwas trying to atone for those sins not compound them
How was condemning tens of thousands to death atoning for those sins?
He knew if Guy became king he'd go to war. And that's exactly what happened.
Sounds more logical to agree that Guy is guilty of the crimes we all know he committed and let him be executed like the Templars at the beginning of the movie, and then "atone" for that common sense deed.
Besides, he was still lusting for a married woman so there was no atoning. He was sinning even as he tried to pretend to be virtuous.
Faith isn’t about logic
all the corrupt and everyone that followed the corrupt got btfo and the slate was cleaned, even though balian was a sinner and moron he was an honest moron.
nothing was wiped clean, the cycle continued because he stewed in his sin and refused to do good
she only wanted him around to help herself, he was correct to distrust that c**t.
Hadn’t her husband committed crimes warranting execution? IIRC he’d murdered pilgrims.
So why tie his death to Balian marrying her?
Just kill him if there is cause.
Balian defends him, even though it makes no sense and everyone in the room knows it. Poor script, I guess.
Not what the Bible says
Guy had committed treason against his King, and could be legally and morally executed for said treason.
You should only watch the director's cut.
And check this out, it has the best Edward Norton role.
>B but he is not in it
He is the masketta king!
>He is the masketta king!
BALDWIN IV?
Zooms might miss it.
TELL ME ABOUT BALDWIN! WHY DOES HE WEAR THE MASK?!
A LOT OF LOYALTY FOR A BYZANTINE
>Godfrey de Ibelin, I'm Knights Templar
Balian could have just dueled the french guy to the death
Glory be to Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn, may he be granted Jannatul Firdaus for his deeds and devotion to Allah(swt).
CUTE!
CUTE
kino edit. I like that nasheed. Saved the original for my ever growing collection of Islamic nasheeds. That is 117 on my playlist now.
100% The only way to watch.
Yes, didn't you know that was Norton?
Now look who controls it
Goys keeep seething
It's like Rhodesia if they had to fight real armies.
>araps
>real armies
not since 1100, now theyre all fat slops who cant fight
Worth remembering the Israeli's were using top of the line American personal weapons and vehicles and using British aircraft and did effective preemptive air attacks alongside great communications networks.
The arabs were using literal German and Russian WW2 equipment for the most part except for Egypt which was using modern soviet equipment for its time and had very little communications with each other.
M60 vs Panzer IV's and T-34's is clearly one sided
Kind like how 70k Russians have utterly destroyed a NATO puppet army numbering over 600k in the Ukraine.
>russia
>winning
they get cucked by churkas and central asians and are the aids, hiv, abortion, degeneracy capital of europe/ they cant even take the far east
Was Saladin really as great as this movie makes him out to be?
Yes. He was renowned for his fairness. His Catholic enemies greatly respected him and he became a famous man, Richard the Lionheart saw him as the greatest Muslim leader and deemed him a brother in God and that under different situations in life would have been great friends and Saladin himself wrote that he viewed Richard the same way. They never met face to face which is quite ironic considering how we view them almost nine centuries later, yet they would communicate and send gifts to each other regularly for the couple years after the crusade until his death in 1193
His tomb is in Damascus.
Kaiser Wilhelm restored a marble tomb that the Ottomans originally had commissioned to hold his body in the late 1800's but they politely refused to use it stating Saladin was a humble man, so instead it now sits empty next to his wooden tomb at the Saladin mausoleum next door to Umayyad Mosque.
Fun fact: Saladin in the years prior to the Jerusalem campaign attacked the fortress of Masyaf, home to the Assassin Order and an assassin threatened him in his tent at night while besieging it. Saladin woke up after hearing footsteps in his tent, his lamps were out and items in the symbol of the assassins were laid on his table next to a poisoned dagger and a note telling him to leave immediately. That siege ended very mysteriously, to this day, no one knows the true outcome. His guards didn't detect a thing and the chain link perimeter around his tent was never touched to alert his guards to the presence of assassins.
Saladin claims it was the "Old Man of the Mountain", a man called Sinan the leader of the Syrian assassins that was in his tent that night. They previously attempted to kill him twice, which is why he was so paranoid with security.
The campaign against them was a disaster, he lost many important men to the assassins and not a single fortress was taken. Ultimately the campaign ended in a treaty.
interesting shit bro
>Why didn't Balian just do it?
Because he was gay. Same reason his wife killed herself.
