#kingdomofheaven
Still one of my favorite movies. If only medival/fantasy movies today are like this.
Extended edition is ONLY edition. So good!
Plus if you ever played Age of Empire ,this film was manna from the gods
enough good modern medieval movies out there
stuff like The King, Outlaw King, and such was thoroughly enjoyable imo
Too bad it has glaring historic inaccuracies.
@@colloquialsoliloquy6391 M&B Warband. :D
The Director's Cut was WAAAY better than the theatrical version! It filled in so many of the plot holes and enriched the story overall. Too bad Ridley Scott was forced to cut the movie back by the studio execs from being an epic as it was designed to be.
The directors cut is always better than the original movie because they always include more scenes than the original which always get cut in editing
what plotholes exactly?
Do you know, where i can find the directors cut?
I don't think I've seen the Director's cut. I didn't even know there was one 😭
CLASSIC executive uselessness. People that ONLY have business degrees I bet, they ruin everything.
I think one of the things that makes this scene so wonderful is that Balians men follow him without question against insurmountable odds. The only question we have is it due to the strength of character he has already shown or unyielding loyalty to his fathers memory an the shear stature he represented?
Its been a few months since he took over the fief, so I assume personal loyalty to Balian himself
People have forgotten what chivalry was ,it wasn’t fawning over women ,it was courage and determination in battle ,it was as the code of knighthood
You clearly didnt understand "loyality". I worked more then ten years ago with common peoples, students...and lowest of all, homeless, alcoholics...I was a top of them, yet I stayed in same mud, I never asked someone to do something, that I myself cannot do, or willing to do. I treat them like eaquals (and why not...is he dumber than me, or is he homeless...is he bad person for that, I think not), doing most dangerous or difficult work myself, or going to "bad weather conditions". And I do this for seven years, during that time...I worked again with few of them...they just was happy and greets me everytime. Its just a work, yet peoples even older than me respected me as I was his father, even more, because I was one of them and...I go as example, and if there is problem...its my problem, whatewer somebody does something wrong, problem is mine alone...thats "leadership". If I take them to battle...it will be probably poor sight...but...I believe...they will follow me to dire end...If I go first...as example . Thats Loyality and Respect. You can say "I want respect and loyality"...thats bulls***...you will go as example...and respect and loyality follows. That cannot be forced, its earned...its free...and yet it takes time and hard work. And in this moovie there is another great example of loyality, where Balian rise all to be his eaquals as knights...he rises up "nobodys" to his own statute..
One of the things that the Director's Cut especially spends some time on is the idea of "making the world better"... by this point, Balian's men had watched him transform Ibelin from a dustbowl into a place that was full of water, crops and life. Literally creating a better world on that little patch of ground. I think they had fully bought into that vision, that making the world better (in this case, covering the escape of civilians) was worth dying for.
Hate to be the um actually guy but western knight or Franks as they were called could charge nearly any Muslim force. Baldwin famously won a battle against Saladin with only some knight and Templars as the Kingdoms army was off in Syria. Crazy they don’t teach this time period in school. Seriously interesting people lived and died in the 11th century
I saw this movie at least 15 times and it still gives me goosebumps
A shame how many people think this movie sucked because the theatrical version cut important scenes. The director cut is an amazing movie
The sound design when they clash is so good.
2:34 most beautiful scene I've ever seen. literally brought tears to my eyes. music is carrying like 80% of the emotional work ngl
Agreed. Though I would rank it second behind the charge of the Rohirrim.
Have a look at TH-cam vids on the charge of the Australian light horse at Bethsbeba.
Director’s cut of this movie is epic. Cannot stress enough to watch that version only.
I disagree. The director's cut adds good stuff for Balian specifically, but the extra plot around Sybilla's son just draws it out needlessly. IMO, cutting the son and everything around him was a good idea.
Back when Ridley made excellent movies. Fantasy, yes but absolutelly stunning fantasy.
I don't understand why this movie failed.
This movie isn't a fantasy.
@@theunknowncommenter725 yes it is, it just has historical chacters a refrence material. what happens in the movie is nowhere similar to real life and this has a supernatural elment in it as well in directors cut
@@theunknowncommenter725 And this, ladies and gentlement is the sole reason why historical movies MUST BE historically accurate.
@@matteo1ize It's historical fiction at best.
Amazing movie and one of the most memorable scenes.
Brotherhood. You fight for the man next to you.
The Teutonic Knights motto was:
"Vir, virum legit!
Every man chooses his man.
Man, Riddley Scott used to do DAMN GOOD movies
The score is what makes this battle so epic!
This makes me wanna play Bannerlord 2 later
One of my all time favorite movies
At the Battle of Montgisard, The King of Jerusalem lead a charge against much superior numbers that split the Saracens in two defeated them. Basically what Balen did. The standard defense against a Western charge was to open up the middle and surround the attackers, which is what happened in this scene. The difference during the Battle of Montgisard is that the Saracens were caught unprepared and not fully formed up, unlike the Saracens in the scene. Also, several Saracen leaders were killed early in the clash.
İslam always win
@@cihatkoc9494 nobody wins in a war, my friend.
@@cihatkoc9494😂😂😂 no, it doesn't
@cihatkoc9494 its not winning in palestine 😂
Quite a contrast between Baldwin at Montgisard and Guy at Hattin and then Richard at Arsuf
I can say with such courage that Kingdom of Heaven (2005) is my Ridley Scott film.
The same for the director's cut
One of the masterpiece of Riedly Scott.
You missplay and your early Vlandian army gets caught by Unquid near Garontor Castle.
Hahaha fking brilliant.
I'm too straight to understand any of these words.
The Vlandians is the Knight Faction in bannerlord 2, very strong and knightly looking... Well... knights. Banner Knights are some of the most high Tier Units they has.
Then you gotta reload on last save 😂

The music here is legendary
If they only make movie like this again 😭
Gladiator II is fantastic.
Sacrifice pays a high price for a better tomorrow.
Masterpiece
I will add that how can the man who directed this masterpiece also of directed napoleon?
He got old and he never was as good as people think, just lucky. Kingdom of Heaven also benefits from using a lesser historical figure for the protagonist thus not a lot of people would be furious about his ahistorical portrayal becouse, surprise, Balian in the movie is both completely ahistorical and a shitty character. It's the historically portrayed side characters that shine through, that being Baldwin and Salluhadin.
Similiar thing with Gladiator with the exception of Maximus being an actually well-written character.
@@deci2723 "It's the historically portrayed side characters that shine through"
Which are also completely ahistorical. They're great characters, but complete and utter bullshit through and through.
The movie's great fun, but it's far too on the nose with its "bad people are bad, religion isn't inherently evil" message. The magnanimity of Saladin and Baldwin, and the band-of-every-race at the start is cool, but it's so ridiculous. It'd be like making Napoleon so forward-thinking that he's developed his own Samsung products which he uses to plot out his battles...
@@lysandersensale2792 Both Baldwin and Saladin are quite well portrayed as far as historical sources go. Sure, a lot of side characters are absolute shite like Guidon de Lusignian or Sibilla. Still, yeah the movie is absolutely ahistorical, who knew.
He's still a really good director, gladiator and kingdom were amazing.. no other movies like them! Napoleon was influenced way too much by Joaquin phoenix who probably should just stick to acting, because thats what he's good at. look at joker 2...
Napoleon was butchered for the theatrical release. The director’s cut is over an hour longer and far better. Just like this movie.
Por cierto, Legolas debería haber cargado con sus jinetes en formación mucho más cerrada, espuela con espuela y hombro con hombro, no con una distancia tan grande entre ellos. La carga medieval de caballería se fundamenta en cargar todos a la vez y muy juntos, sin apenas separación, como un puño.
Эх, времена! Эх, нравы! За веру без компромиссов.
Saw this movie in cinemas when i was 9 and yes i know it was the mediocre theatrical cut but i will always 3:31 as such an incredible piece of visual storytelling. At first I wasn't sure why they thought they would die and then we see that final wideshot before they clash...
This movie is quite good. Too bad so many people take it as a serious historical treatise.
It's not real?
@@deidresableMaybe 50% real, 50% fiction
Your quality will be none amongst your enemies before you even meet them
Not to be too critical but that was an unfortunate mistake in your quote, changes the point quite a bit. 'Will be known'
This is accurate crusader armor
Well actually there are count of some under whelming crusader force looking very similar to the Muslims only having European helmets to differentiate such as the defenders of Jerusalem.
However they wear mail coif in a wrong way. It should cover face very tightly. There should be no gaps between chin and neck. It was matter of life and death.
@@wojciechm.5737 might just be a costuming/ budget issue
@wojciechm.5737 if u notice it is very tight him taking it off was stupid
@@wojciechm.5737 look at the thumbnail
Beyond The Martian ,Ridley Scott hasn't made a great film since Kingdom of Heaven.
The Last Duel was quite good, but you're right, most of his films in the last decade have been more disappointments.
He definitely seems to have lost the plot in recent years. Napoleon? A joke of a movie.
@@mrquirky3626 The Last Duel was the other one I considered, but then I realized I've seen The Martian maybe 5 times and enjoyed all 5 ,whereas I don't think I'll watch The Last Duel again ,it all builds to the duel ,yet the most interesting characters ,Damon's ,was both underused and terribly miscast ,Damon just does not suit Medieval films.
@@MS-sb9ov I had a feeling Napoleon would turn out as it did , disjointed set pieces dragged further down by a love story no one went to see ,be like having a film about Patton and only 10% of it being about WW2.
Was Romulus good?
Robin Hood was good. Littler fairy taley but good.
wtf Legolas thinks he's some knight of Gondor?
They should make a movie of Roger of Sicily. He actually did these sorts of battles and would win
This is my favorite sequence in the film. There's so much build up in the proper ways.
When Balian and company are on screen, they're advancing from left to right, with a faint angelic singing in the background. They know this is a one-way mission. Yet, they continue to follow their duty-to protect the civilians.
Cuts to Saracen cavalry advance from right to left with a loud percussive banging. The heavy banging conveys their overwhelming strength. They charge forward in formation and with confidence to follow their duty-engage the enemy.
At the last moment the music abruptly cuts. There's a distant shot showing Balian's cavalry charging into the center of a crescent moon, one of Islam's symbols, representing the start of a new month. Having no sound makes the moment of impact much more powerful. They put up a brief, but furious fight, lasting fewer than three minutes on screen, yet it distracted the enemy cavalry.
Both sides have fulfilled their mission-Balian protected the civilians while Saladin's men engaged and defeated their foe.
@charlessaint7926 And earned the respect of the Saracen commander.
Those poor horses 😞
Todo iba bien hasta que Legolas se quita el casco en mitad de la batalla, cayendo espadazos a diestra y siniestra. En fin, las cosas de Jolivu.
Уильям Тернер как всегда всех спас..!!
The guys who followed Balian are true loyal fierce warriors.
I like this movie but I wish the depictions of combat were more realistic. Why can't directors talk to a historian?
This is exactly how it happened. I was there
Same I remember you brother
It was like During the war on Enemy Forces
The one and only Knights and Honour movie ever made.
The cavalry formation changes during the charge in this clip make absolutely no sense to me.
What he's trying to do is "grab" the Saracen force, he splits his men to cover the flanks and make sure the cavalry cannot outflank them and target the villagers he's trying to protect, making sure his smaller force engages and occupies the entire line of Saracen cavalry
@@sherrifjack1938 but the christian cavalry was already line abreast at the start of the charge, what advantage does going into line astern, then back to line abreast give them?
@@madcapmagician3130 so when they divide, they can wheel right or left depending on their column more easily without horses coming in the way,
@@madcapmagician3130fooling the saracens, letting the guess about the formation
@@madcapmagician3130 I think it's like this:
1) Pre-battle: Single line formation so his force looks big and ready, making the Saracens halt and consider their attack for a moment
2) Column as "travel formation"
3) Fan out into battle formation, i. e. two triangles (one led by Balian & one led by his lieutnant)
A good Knight.
I know it’s a movie (a good one too!) and I know “they” do it for hero identification for the audience, but it really grips my sh*t when warriors remove their helmets and maille during or before a battle! No warrior or even the lowest fighter would ever do something so utterly stupid.
A castle in the desert. Where is the grass for the horses? Crops for the people?
I would love to get the director cut can't locate it

@@postpwnmalone Please someone answer this question, are you all joking???
Proud Christian here! Merry Christmas All
I'm sorry but long spears will beat drawn swords in a cavalry charge every single time.
I don't really understand the purpose of the maneuver. First, they ride in a line. Then they collapse into a column. Then they fan out from the center into two crescents. To what end?
Die. None of it matters. It's important to the plot, but on it's own he's only wasting his own men. And for what, 10 minutes extra?
no idea but it broke the enemy into having changing movement/caused confusion
Just for cinematic epicness for normal viewers they look cool
Charging head on in a line vs line against superior number probably is doomed to fail. Also horses will not charge into something solid unless they have been purposely trained and have their eyes partially covered so they don’t know they are charging into solid mass. By changing into a column, it reduced area of impact and give more momentum to the charge to carry through. The Saracen calvary would also change formation to counter that. Fanning out into 2 crescent at the end is probably to counter the counter and also help to prevent from being double flanked so quickly. Also center tends to have best troops with best armour. The double crescent means those center troops are themselves flanked on both sides too.
Most likely it is just to look cool.
Como se llama la pelicula ???
Kingdom of Heaven.

@@aaronjaeger1791 It was a witticism, but thanks for the advice. Cheers, D.
I mean. You didn't have to actually fight them there, I feel like. By the time Orlando Bloom was unconscious on the ground, all the civilians appear to have been in the fortress.
ON the one hand, these are trained Western Knights fighting men-at-arms, and there's no archers involved, so however well they can fight in melee combat determines if they survive and if they can hold off the saracen army long enough. ON THE OTHER HAND, they didn't actually need to buy as much time for the civilians as they did... they could've just advanced, split off and rode towards the flanks, and then rode away to distract them, maybe harassing them from the flanks if they could do that. ON THE THIRD HAND, (yes, in this case there is a third time) they're knights/crusaders in the holy land, and at that time in that place, most of the knights would be so fervently religious they wouldn't take any issue with sacrificing their lives in hopeless battle if it would save hundreds of civilians, so I guess charging the enemy cavalry makes some sense. ON THE FOURTH HAND, that was some real Faramir-hours shit lmao.
Bear in mind that we as the audience see mutch moore and better than them... I mean, we have aerial shots, shots from the castle, shots from Valian's point of view.... Valian has a mutch moore limited view of the situation; he doesn't know how long will take the sarracens to reach how many villlagers are in route, if Reinhald will close the doors... if he charges; he will give time to the villagers; that is the only cretaintty...
...and YES. Tactically makes NO SENSE to risk the lives of 20-30 knigths/men at arms to save a bunch on peasants... the Kerak will need the figthers moore... BUT the orders Valian have are to deffend the civilians. That's his duty as a knigth and the orer he received from the king as Lord of Ivelin. We konw that he believes that fullfilling his bows are the way to save his soul an the soulof his late wife... so he is not been tacticall here. The movie preciselly makes a good point that if every men in Jerusalem TRIED to uphold their bows, everything migth be better.
I mean... it just an epic scene of heroism and self sacrifice. Yes, the smart move would be to distract the Saracens but the again, I wonder if crusaders would be able to avoid them since they probably have slower horses and heavier armor anyway. Depends really.
and if u Know the History Saladins army wasnt going to kill Civilians
Knights were brutal and egotistical (Usually because they're highborn), some really believe they couldn't be defeated due to years of brainwashing by the church. Knights aren't some noble warriors that you read about in books, they were about as noble as the Vikings. Not saying they were all shithouses but the majority were exactly like gee in the movie.
@@SpectuIf you know history crusade is the good guys
TIL swords cut through mail
He should have brought Gimli
he lost because he didnt have a bow
Imagine you send 200,000 muslim saracen in front off 74,000 Crusader
We do same too you good luck
So be it !
Don’t care if a man dies but draw the line on a defenceless animal . I know its a movie and a good one
Honestly watching it again I'm not really sure this stand was warranted. Especially since we learn shortly after this that the enemy cavalry is led by the voice of reason character on the saracen side. Would they really have killed the peasants trying to flee into the fortress? or would they just have stopped anyone from trying to leave?
That looked like a dumb plan..... *sigh*
Salahuddin al-Ayyubi
03:26...What the purpose of this tactic?
So apparently the heavily outnumbered Templar try to breakthrough Crescentshaped formation of Saladin Vanguard, buying time I guess
It looks cool
It’s to buy time. By compressing his line, it forces the Saracen forces to focus on the center. Then splitting in to two different directions now the Saracen forces have to try to envelope two forces, and the ones that were in the center have to circle back… You cant maintain a forward pressure with enemies behind you. Suicidal tactic, you’ll never “win” a battle like that, but the battle was to buy time for the civilians. So… mission accomplished.
Destroy enemies' formation
+
Problem with the film is moving that many troops would require more water than they could carry doubt full. better do have a team well fed disrupting the mass
Look up battle Of Hattin, that's how Saladin defeated Guy, lured them away from their encampment with water
"The Muslims positioned themselves between the Frankish army and the water so that the Franks were forced to pitch camp overnight on the arid plateau near the village of Meskenah. The Muslims surrounded the camp so closely that "a cat could not have escaped". According to Ibn al Athir, the Franks were "despondent, tormented by thirst" whilst Saladin's men were jubilant in anticipation of their victory.
Throughout the night, the Muslims further demoralized the crusaders by praying, singing, beating drums, showing symbols, and chanting. They set fire to the dry grass, making the crusaders' throats even drier. The Crusaders were thirsty, demoralized and exhausted. The Muslim army, by contrast, had a caravan of camels bring goatskins of water up from Lake Tiberias (now known as the Sea of Galilee)."
Balian and his men better represents what the Templars were like, rather than how the film depicts them to be.
❤❤😊
Nice movie 🎉
What's with the knight charge splitting into 2 when already outnumbered heavily? Shouldn't they stick together more? :D
they're not trying to win, they're trying to buy as much time as possible for the actual army to show up. they are charging in with the expectation of dying
A suicide can't be called a battle , they charge and all die directly😂
You mean that when my tribe fought a thousand men against Louis IX's campaign in Tunisia, they all died in front of only 100 knights, followed by these films for you locations and we have a reality.
...so why did they do a cavalry charge agains a numerically superior force? They have a literal fortress made of stone behind them. Ridley Scott's take on history and military tactics is like that of a child playing with plastic toy soldiers. Which is weird because his dad was actually an army officer. It would actually be challenging, in tactical terms, to be more stupid that this. I mean for the first you have a massive stone fortress and there's absolutely no reason to waste your entire cavalry because they weren't even fighting a counter retreat. Everything about this is stupid.
Goog movie but Orlando Bloom should of been recast.
....not as good a Lord of the Rings battle
Civiliant run away from poeple that come to save them then run with templars thst kill them ?
Do I remenber this scene wrongfully or was this fight extremely unneccessary?
While I love this movie and this scene from a tactical standpoint what they did during the charge was utter stupidity. They are not only outnumbered 5-1 they split up their charge into two areas making it even easier for the enemy to surround and take them out even faster lol. The smart thing to do would have been to stay in a tight cluster and fight back to back nullifying the enemies numerical advantage. But hey Hollywood gonna Hollywood since most of the time the people writing these movies have no military experience and have no idea how real soldiers would act in a situation such as this. GOT charge anyone....lol
I have to disagree somewhat. They are mounted knights, facing enemy cavalry, they cant fight in a circle, they cant charge like that and they cant stand still or they would get charged against them. They wouldn't dismount, that would make the enemy charge all the worse and you would need to remove a quarter of your men to take the horses. You could argue that they could try and slow the Saracens down but they dont have any horse archers, and they are probably slower moving with heavier armour. The way they charged was maybe not the right way, but I expect that Crusaders often fought this way. They were probably bigger men, on larger horses, and often probably tried to batter their way over their enemy even if they were outnumbered.
They even told each other that this was a hopeless task. But their orders were to slow down the enemies advance until the people were safe and the main army arrived
They have created hero’s from a violent crazy group.
Nothing. Everything!
They don’t make them like they used too
A Knight ........ His Men
Arab civilians fleeing here is actually a perhaps unintended but brilliant detail. The Crusader States were made up of both muslim and christian peoples, and often the muslims preferred Frankish rule over Saracen rule (If memory serves it had to do with taxes). They were treated less than kindly by Saladin in the places he retook.
Not really the reason why the crusade didn't work is because they treat everyone jew, christian and muslim local horrible, the civilian you see running probably serf and slaves
gives me riders of rohan chills !!!!! DEATH !!!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Scott missed the mark on this one. Was expecting something as epic as Gladiator or Braveheart, and it wasn’t even close.
