I shall tell your father what I've seen you become. From the masterful director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven, one of the all time great historical epics.
Pretty sure hypothetical God doesnt need to be told what Balian has become, cause hes supposed to be omniscient and omnipresent. Also Hospitaller being ranking member of catholic military order would know that. So, no, he doesnt mean God. He just means Godfrey.
@@hermaeusmora2945 The Hospitaller is a figure, an ideal knight. "All death is certain" means - whatever will be, will be - a stoic statement from someone who fought in many meaning(less) wars and is not afraid to die, for death is only certain thing he knows. (so why fear it?)
I am not a Christian. Far from it. But i love this movie. Every single thing in this movie. In my list this is one of the top 5 perfect movies(Director's cut obviously)
“Well yeah, but this seems particularly certain….and kinda foolish, really. Might as well throw yourself from the battlements and call it a ballad.” -Dolorous Edd, if he had served in the Crusades.
Isn’t he part of a knightly order? Imagine your best friends and coworkers and family all rolled into one, and they have to go. What is left for you if you stay behind? Plus we only know its 100% certain because of hindsight.
@@DmoneyS44 That’s why you don’t go joining knightly orders. Or cults. Or armies that don’t have limited tours. One should have a life outside of that.
@@garcalej What a silly thing for you to say. First of all, this has nothing to do with me, but that's precisely why I have a life outside of my "group". Also, it's not like people in the middle ages had the multitudes of options that we enjoy today. For a lot of people during that time, their options were very limited. Only the wealthy or the nobility could "have a life" as we would think of it today. For example study at a far away university, travel to a different continent, or participate in a variety of activities.
@@hermaeusmora2945 Because he still follows his leader, even tho he knows he will die in the upcoming battle, he doesnt flee, he fulfills his duty as a crusader Knight and accepts his death.
@@hermaeusmora2945 No, being a soldier and especially a crusader, you have to face death without fear and top of that, every single day, the appropriate word is sacrificial because he is selflessly doing his duty to follow his superior to battle, trying to prevent an army to attack a city full of civilians, suicidal would be someone who is selfish and wants to prevent his own suffering without thinking of the consequences, basically someone forsaking his duty to his fellow men.

He is not actually a man in this movie. He is an angel. The director/writers create the character as ambiguous. Leaving the viewer to question is this a human or an angel. It’s well done and not actually that subtle. Much easier to recognize if you watch a DVD version because you can rewind back to the scenes between these two.
sadly not.. this actor is named David Thewlis... Alan Rickman who played (Hans Gruber) died in 2016.. but still I will admit they do look very similar from a distance.. still both great actors.
A Knight hospitaller, who had travelled with the father of Orlando Blooms character (who is dead, ergo his conversation with his father would be in heaven).
I agree. "Kingdom of Heaven" contains historically innacurracies (as with other Ridley Scott's films like Napoleon, American Gangster, and 1492: Conquest of Paradise). The killing of Saladin's sister never happened in real life, Saladin was equally brutal and known for raiding the pilgrims of Holy Land, both sides were fanatics. But you can't deny that Ridley Scott's has good cinematography style. For the Crusade history though, it's better to watch "Arn: The Knight Templar"
@@MrProsat Kingdom of Heaven, as with any Ridley Scott's films, is enjoyable because of the cinematography & script. But as with most Scott's films.. it took too much liberties that it is way too historically inaccurate to be taken seriously. Ridley Scott's Napoleon is recently under criticized because of that formula
I love that when he says “Your Father” he means both Godfrey and God.
I love this. Thank you for pointing this out.
Pretty sure hypothetical God doesnt need to be told what Balian has become, cause hes supposed to be omniscient and omnipresent. Also Hospitaller being ranking member of catholic military order would know that. So, no, he doesnt mean God. He just means Godfrey.
@abalayn22 Pretty sure you're being a pedantic smartass.
Why he would say "your", if he would talk about god? Isn't his god different with christian god?
@@abalayn22 He doesn't NEED anything from us ever, but we still participate in Him and His creation because that is what he designed us for.
A good and brave man, and a simple and profound statement.
Some would say he is more than a man. Some sort of angelic or even Christ-like spirit, especially in the director's cut.
@@Opinwood but Balian saw his dead body, so he was mortal.
How exactly is following bad leaders to a certain death, with no chance of victory..."brave"?
@@Zvenygora I mean, his physical body definitely died for sure. Not disputing that.

This is exactly how I feel as well. This movie and gangs of New York
A lovely scene.
everybody gonna die sometimes red
Yeah but it doesn't have to be today normally unless you do some shit that makes it that way.
@@aluisious It could be a joke about the words "die" and "dye", not sure.

Most poignant moment
That sounded like Lupin.
Remus Lupin from HP? that's indeed him
Apart from the dirt, poverty, sickness, leprosy and illneses. This had to be hell of a life.
No social media, internet, fast food, modern medicine. And war. Yea. You can say that.
@@MrProsat Yes. Sounds awesome

What's angelic about him? It never seemed to me when watching this movie
It’s much more clear he’s an angel in the directors cut, when he appears to Balian in the middle of nowhere next to the burning bush
Nah he is a werewolf
Is it an anagram?
Cries one manly tear 😢🫡
What movie?
Read the description
Kingdom of Heaven
Hans Gruber!?
sadly not.. this actor is named David Thewlis... Alan Rickman who played (Hans Gruber) died in 2016.. but still I will admit they do look very similar from a distance.. still both great actors.
Who was he?
A Knight hospitaller, who had travelled with the father of Orlando Blooms character (who is dead, ergo his conversation with his father would be in heaven).
Shitass movie but some banger scenes
The theatrical version is garbage but the Director's Cut is a masterpiece.
That movie was special.
Kingdom of Heaven sucked ass

stay on the internet long enough eventually you'll see garbage takes from 2 follower losers like this
@@Cyan_Nightingale I did enjoy Arn, but this wasn't that bad of a movie...

I’d argue that the directors cut is an entirely different film and better then the theatrical version
