Review: Kingdom of Heaven, 2005 [ENG/ESP]
Dear community, 👋
I recently rewatched a movie: Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven," which for me is one of those films that sparks our curiosity about real historical events.
¡Saludos comunidad! 👋
Recientemente, volvi a ver una película: "El Reino de los Cielos" de Ridley Scott, que para mí es de esas que nos despiertan la curiosidad por los hechos reales.

For those who haven't seen it, it's a historical drama set in the 12th century, during the Crusades, with a medieval setting, featuring knights, epic battles, and that "eternal" conflict between Christians and Muslims for control of Jerusalem.
Para quien no la haya visto, se trata de un drama histórico recreado en el siglo XII, en plenas Cruzadas, ambientación medieval, con caballeros, batallas épicas y ese conflicto "eterno" entre cristianos y musulmanes por el control de Jerusalén.


The protagonist is Balian (Orlando Bloom), a French blacksmith who, after a personal tragedy, decides to follow in his father's footsteps and travel to the Holy Land—a complex world filled with characters of diverse intentions, not just a simple "good vs. evil" narrative. His character represents a quest for genuine faith, beyond religion, remarkably transforming from a blacksmith into a defender of Jerusalem.
El protagonista es Balian (Orlando Bloom), un herrero francés que, tras una tragedia personal, decide seguir los pasos de su padre y viajar a Tierra Santa, un mundo complejo lleno de personajes con intenciones diversas, no solo de "buenos" vs "malos". Su personaje viene a representar como una búsqueda de la fe genuina, más allá de la religión, superándose sobremanera de herrero a defensor de Jerusalén.


The film doesn't just portray war in black and white terms. The plot strives to humanize both sides; there are wise and fanatical leaders on each end, creating a balance, as real-life stories are generally not one-sided. The battle scenes are spectacular, yet not empty, as they carry emotional weight and consequences.
La película no se limita a mostrar la guerra como algo blanco o negro. El argumento se esfuerza por humanizar a ambos bandos, hay líderes sabios y fanáticos en cada lado, como un equilibrio, ya que las historias reales generalmente no son de un solo color. Los combates son espectaculares, más no vacíos por su peso emocional y también consecuencias.


It's a blend of entertainment and reflection, confronting the difficult decisions one sometimes has to make in a divided world.
A big hug to everyone... may historical curiosity be with you! 🏰✨
And peace be with you. 😉
Es una combinación de entretenimiento con reflexión, ante las dificiles decisiones que a veces hay que tomar en un mundo dividido.
Abrazo grande a todos... ¡que la curiosidad histórica los acompañe! 🏰✨
Y que la paz sea con ustedes 😉
