They don’t make movies like this anymore an absolute masterpiece

The fact that Saladin acknowledged his rival's declining health and offered to send physicians speaks volumes about his character. Stuff of true legends.

"Your quality will be known among your enemies." That is a legend's ultimate goal.

I'm a Muslim. This video perfectly shows us the comradeship between us and Christians. Truly we are cut from the same cloth.

i remmeber qwatching this as a kid and being dissapointed the armies didnt fight here, but as an adult I truly appreciate the respect the leaders had for each other and the lives of their soldiers

As a Christian, a lot of love to my Christian and Muslim friends!

The mutual respect that Saladin and Baldwin had for each other was Amazing. True leaders.

The actor who played King Baldwin was fantastic. With only his body gestures, he shows more than many actors do while completely unhindered.

“Withdraw, or we all will die here”….the words of a king, a leader, a man who was tired of death and wanted nothing more than peace

"That I would rather live with men than kill them is certainly why YOU are alive." BRUTAL! One of my favorite quotes in any movie!

The respect that Saladin and Baldwin had for each other is awesome. Two great men indeed.

'I will send my physicians' it speaks so highly of this noble profession.

*"I'm not those men, I am Salahuddin, Salahuddin"* - A quote we never forget who he was

Kingdom of Heaven... A masterpiece... so sad there's no more movies like this.. a portrayal of history..

What I love most about this movie, is that it doesn't say that one side is right, or the other is wrong. It just shows what men are willing to do, for an idea, the idea of Jerusalem.

This is a very well shot scene. Two ancient cultures with all their heraldry and dignity marching at each other upon the field. Both armies look absolutely stunning and inspiring. They were both prepared to die for their God and Lord and it just makes for an absolutely stunning scene. I have much respect for the filmmaker. Mainly because he didn’t pull a 300 and make the eastern empires seem like barbarians who had no independent thought other than what the king told them to do. I’m still shocked that Christendom was able to capture Jerusalem in 1195. It’s the tail end of the dark ages or middle ages as modern scholars now call it. These civilizations did not have the power of the Roman empire so the fact that they were able to conquer Jerusalem is just astounding. They weren’t able to hold it for an incredibly long time of course because when the whole east is united with purpose they are a force to be reckoned with. The Romans certainly had their share of problems with the empires od the east. There isn’t one now but in the past they’re almost always was a huge multi ethnic Eastern empire operating in west Asia. Persians, Parthians, Sassanid and so on.

The scene of the negotiations is so haunting and significant, also for what was left unsaid between the two. The two of them fight and decide the war right there without drawing swords. Baldwin says, withdraw all we die here (compared to the option of withdrawal, where only I die, soon). Saladin immediately realizes that he doesn't need to fight today, just wait Baldwin out. He also has a certain regard for him, and seeing him as an equal, doesn't want to tarnish Baldwin's legacy. Baldwin will now be the king who never lost, and successfully negotiated peace. The final pause is almost Baldwin saying, yes, it will be soon. And Saladin then realizes that he should send his physicians, not to treat him, but possibly to make his passing easier and reduce his pain. And of course to assess how long he has to live, and Saladin to plan the next attack.

Baldwin defeated Saladin in battle twice therefore Saladin had a great respect for him and the two also had somewhat of a friendship with each other and because of that were able to speak with one another and come to "Terms". A powerful movie and one of my favorites.

You know a man is truly great when his enemies refer to him with respect.

When that cross appeared over the hill the first time I watched this I had immediate shivers and still do! One of my all time favorite movies

That scene when he said Jerusalem has come,damn it makes me goosebumps!!

Even their mounts are adequate. A spirited stallion for a powerful muslim sultan at the height of his strenght, and a soft walking, mature beast for a wise king at the end of his life. This movie deserves more credit.

I know that this is just a movie but this scene makes me so hopeful that one day we may all live in peace through respect for the beliefs and creeds of anyone. No matter how you pray, if your pray, or by what name you call your god or gods. You are a human being who can carry the love and dignity of our species with you.

"Assemble the army." That was one of the most powerful words Baldwin ever spoke. He knew that he was facing perhaps the most powerful force in the world at that time, yet he didn't hesitate to personal ride to meet it head on.

The actor who portrayed Salahadin is magnificient..

That look Eva gives him at 3:19 - it tells us so much. Her knowledge of what he is about to do. Her admiration for a knight who can immediately decide to protect the weak. Her love for him as an equal.

Literally never get bored of watching this film, specifically for Saladin, a truly great medieval ruler, “I will send you my physicians” and the look on his face is exactly how I’ve always imagined him.

I always get goosebumps on 9:32. just the feeling of so many man coming towards each other.

I'm a Muslim myself. While I support Saladin fully, I also respect the bravery demonstrated by baleon here. Good people on both sides in every war ever fought

One of my favorite movies of all time! The respect and honor Baldwin and Saladin showed each other is inspiring...even more so in our current world of cruelty, egomania and stupidity.

the director's cut of this movie is a freaking masterpiece.

Never gets old. Not one scene drags on, even in the director's cut. A masterpiece 👏👏👏

Imagine that Saladin had lost a battle to Baldwin before, and he still respected him enough to make peace with him and even send his doctors to heal him. That's true leadership, ofc shown by both sides.

A very strong sequence with a even stronger ending. As audience, we will always respect the respect shown and be moved by it. Bailian's high charisma is out classed by both King Baldwin and Sultan Salaheddin

"Assemble the Army" One of the Best lines of all time. Especially in that Tone.

" I AM JERUSALEM " STILL REAMINS ONE OF THE BEST LINE 💪💪

Neither side wanted big losses . The film is hung loosely around the Battle of Hattin and accompanying skirmishes . As an ex History teacher ,films like this give students the reality of history and so much more inspirational than dry figures in text books.

"Withdraw or we will all die here"... Such a powerful line coming from a King whose teetering on the brink of death. It's like he's saying he got nothing to loose. lol

Knights turning and following baldwin to Kerak. Saladin's army retiring without spilling blood. Queen Sibylla of Jerusalem smiling knowing her family's heritage is still safe. That music behind. This has to be one of the best scene produced in cinema history. What a movie it was.

The battle scene is so intense. It’s like the only strategy can be made before charging. After the impact between both armies, it’s pretty much chaotic ‘fight or die’. I hear complaints about actors taking off their helmets during the battles, saying no knight or soldier would weaken themselves like that, but if it’s truly as chaotic as depicted, I don’t doubt soldiers might have ripped off their helmets in fury, panic and frustration just to get some better strikes on the enemy, even if it lead to their own death.

This scene always gave me chills seeing that golden cross shimmer behind his shoulder then the shock on the mans face as he realizes what that means such a good movie

9:24 to 9:38 always gives me shivers. The cross emblazoned on the horizon, zooming in to Baldwin at the head of the army clearly struggling. The music swells. God damn this movie is so much better than it is given credit for.

The director's cut turns this movie into one of the best historical dramas of all time.

The respect between Saladin and Baldwin is just amazing, their interaction is so interesting to watch

Jerusalem Has come , One of the most iconic dialogues in movie history

Salahaddin Al Ayyubi RA🖤 may allah grant him the highest ranks in jannah 🤲🏼

La mejor película que se ha hecho con el trasfondo del tema de las Cruzadas, todos los valores humanos representados en las personajes de Saladin y Balian... realmente una obra de arte, incluida la banda sonora. Cada vez que la veo me gusta más.

If there was still honor in this world like there was back then we would all be living in peace

the thing that always gave me the chills was in this scene. It's the smile or the expression of the knight when Balian asks him: are you with me? as they prepare themselves to ultimate sacrifice.

I wish history was filled with more events like this (even if this never actually happened). Good people, on opposite sides of a conflict, finding common ground. Our world could be a paradise if we just had the strength of will to build it.

What an epic movie!Goosbumps and deep emotions,truly classic masterpiece!!!

No doubt... a masterpiece!!!!

That "Salamu alaikum", then "Wa'alaikumsalam" is ghosebumps!

“I will send my Physician to you” what a respect each other

Pure masterpiece.

As a Christian Muslim is like a brother and sister to me we are same humanity loving The religion is like brothers too Respect to all Muslim

Masterful on so many levels: acting, diplomacy, passion, real argument. My favorite scene is the moment when the Muslim commander says, "My master has come" and you see the golden cross over Balian's shoulder. Indeed, his master has also come.

When Baldwin said "withdraw or we will all die here", it had such a different weight because it was coming from a man doomed to die. He uttered it like saying "we'll have tea at six o' clock, yes?". He meant every word and it was chilling to the bone to hear it. I'm sure Saladin also felt the gravity of it!

Can we take a moment to appreciate Harry Gregsson William’s magnificent score. I think this and the first Narnia is his best score.

When you have wise kings,despite the difference,there will be an understanding.

This is an outstanding film. One of my favorites and never get tired of watching.

An excellent story, well told, well acted. One of my favorites.

No one send his own physicians to treat the enemy but Salah uddin made it what a soldier what commander what a ruler million times salute to his bravery and humanity and kindness the world will remember you salahuddin even your enemies too

“Withdraw we will all die here”. It took a man willing to give that ultimatum and a wise man who understood it wasn’t a bluff to reach a somewhat peaceful outcome.

Two great kings and such respect for each other.

5:49 Even though they are outnumbered, each of Balians knights knows that there is another man next to him who has his back, that must give you a lot of motivation to take on your opponent, you are fighting for the man beside you, the bond of brotherhood.

This is truly one of the greatest films ever made.. I have watched this particular video dozens of times..

This movie has already gone down in history as one of the best medieval movies out there that speaks of true events and how every character amazingle portrayed himself.

Ridley Scott’s attention to detail is phenomenal. As King Baldwin rides in, he is leaning in the saddle as an experienced horseman who was unwell.would. His horse is docile and well educated, by contrast, the Arabian’s horses are hot and seemingly barely controlled by their riders, tails swishing, circling, stamping.

Respect even among enemies. Respect is a powerful thing!!

I've seen this movie at least 50 times and I love it each and each every time

A masterpiece of moviemaking! Amazing work by everyone!!

Have already watched so many times!❤

Courage to lay your life on the line in the face of certain death for your fellow man, that is the sign of a true knight. I think the men at arms gained the ultimate respect for their new lord in this moment and would follow him into the very gates of hell.

Yes, Salahuddin was a leader who truly complied with the qualities of our Prophet Muhammad, because he studied the approach of our Prophet Muhammad and followed in his footsteps. We love Muslims, we love justice, and we are not enemies with Christians. We only have a slogan that whoever opposes us, we will oppose him.

as a christian i would like to extend a hand of friendship and prosperity to my muslim brothers, we live in an uncertain world and we need to work together

9:22 All the green screens and CGI in the world can't do what the act of amassing a large number of people in a well directed and designed sequence can do, in terms of looking absoloutely stunning. This film has so many wonderful shots.

This is only for 3 minutes and I already felt goosebump. Now imagine the conference between North Vietnam, South Vietnam Liberation Front vs the United States in Paris Peace Conference in 1973 to ceased to withdraw US troops from Vietnam. That conference lasted for nearly 5 years and was the longest diplomatic negotiation in the world

the word assalamualaikum , we Muslim say to each other that is a prayer that says " may god blesses you gives you peace and prosper and a better life " i couldn't describe it perfectly here cause arabic language works different than any other languages in the world , one change can give a different meanings.

Probably one of the most brilliantly made films about history I’ve ever seen, well done.

Awesome, this is so well made. The only few things I know about Reynald de Chatillone, Saladin and the Saracens are thanks to the campaign of AoE2, so I instantly got immersed as soon as I started watching

For both sides seeing them appear through the haze of dessert heat really sends chills.

The hearts of any man to charge into battle knowing full well their death is sealed is a feeling with so much emotion blanketed with pure bravery and belief of doing the right thing. That is a good way to die, it's a pure death worthy of respect from all sides.

“Imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn’t that be a sight”

masterpiece ❤❤

Thanks to the cameramen for recording this historical event for us

back when there was honor, even among enemies.

The learnings that can be found in the dialog of this movie are pointed and priceless. "You reap what you sow."

To ride towards certain death, ( all death is certain), and live for honor, with courage and integrity. our actions here on earth echo in eternity (Gladiator and Kingdom of heaven), it doesn't get any better.

One of the the most well made movies I have ever watched with a fantastic cast!

One of the best movies I've watched. I give it a go every couple of years, the actors, the setting the accuracy is just amazing.

The best non-battle battle scene ever!

🌟Undoubtedly Professor Ghassan Massoud stands as an unrivaled paragon of excellence. To merely label him a brilliant actor would be an understatement, for he personifies an extraordinary artistic phenomenon that demands the utmost reverence and meticulous scrutiny. His performances transcend the boundaries of conventional talent, captivating audiences with an awe-inspiring display of skill, depth, and authenticity. As a devotee of his craft, I have had the privilege of witnessing his artistic journey unfold across a vast tapestry of roles. From ancient historical dramas to contemporary narratives, Massoud's command of his craft is nothing short of remarkable. He possesses an innate ability to breathe life into his characters, seamlessly blending spoken word with the language of the body to create a truly captivating experience. Fluency and precision mark his mastery of Arabic, allowing him to convey the subtle nuances of his characters' emotions, thoughts, and historical context with astonishing accuracy. The depth of his portrayal is a testament to his unwavering dedication, as he leaves no stone unturned in his pursuit of authenticity. His commitment to thorough research and meticulous preparation is evident in every subtle gesture, every heartfelt line delivered. Beyond his acting prowess, Massoud's influence extends to realms beyond the stage and screen. He serves as an inspiration, urging aspiring actors and artists to delve into the depths of their craft, to seek a profound understanding of their characters and the worlds they inhabit. His artistic brilliance becomes a guiding light, illuminating the path to greatness for those fortunate enough to witness his performances. In conclusion, Ghassan Massoud transcends the boundaries of ordinary acting. He embodies an exceptional artistic phenomenon that demands reverence and invites careful study. His contributions to the world of acting are profound, leaving an indelible mark on both the craft itself and those fortunate enough to witness his transformative performances. 🌟 As an avid Arab viewer who has closely followed the entire body of work by Professor Ghassan Massoud, I am compelled to assert unequivocally that he unequivocally stands at the pinnacle of the most extraordinary actors worldwide. Since ancient times, I have faithfully traced his enthralling journey through a myriad of Arab historical series. With his command of ancient Arabic that is both fluent and precise, he effortlessly embodies the very essence of his characters, deftly conveying the profound nuances of their time and intricate psychological states. A paragon of professionalism, his body language exudes confidence, serving as a testament to his unwavering dedication to his craft. As a scholar of ancient history, he delves deeply into the intricate intricacies of the roles he undertakes, leaving no stone unturned. The sheer brilliance of his performances resurrects historical personas, infusing life into the past and unearthing truth before our very eyes. The character of Salah El-Din represents merely a fraction of the profound depth possessed by this exceptional actor, providing Western viewers with a tantalizing glimpse into his boundless creativity. However, it is worth noting that his only imperfection lies in his English fluency, which regrettably does not match the remarkable command he exhibits in Arabic.

As Orthodox Christian I admire Salahadeen Al Ayubi as true muslim and true leader .

Amazing movie. Love the part where Jerusalem arrives with King Baldwin

The entrance of These armies is so epic it looks so real and feels like it too

This was a really good movie to watch and to cover such an important subject in history

bro says asalammualaikum and the other guy who said waalaikumsalam left the match... what a legend.

Who else misses this era of good movies

This film is an absolute Masterpiece ----------and I will never understand why it was not recognized as such. the Syrian actor who portrayed Saladin deserved an Oscar Nomination for Best Supporting Actor. he was awesome. ---------MJL< 75 y/o
