Its not a strong line, it was the truth, if u knew the circumstances, both army had issues with water in that place, so they would end up dying if they would go to war
This was pretty much the entire point of the film. Moral men propelled by forces outside of their control to do deeds that caused death and suffering. You say Saladin took pity on his enemy, but in truth he never considered Baldwin his enemy in the first place.
King Richard considered Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub the noblest of men, even though they fought each other's forces. When King Richard was unseated and his horse bolted, Salah al-Din send him one of his finest horses as a replacement. Although they corresponded they never actually met.
@@l-me335 Literally what he said. The King of Jerusalem Baldwin IV suffered from Leprosy, that's why he wore the full face mask to hide the deformations. Everyone - including Salah al-Din - was aware of that. Arabian/Muslim physicians were considered the very best at the time, and the personal physicians of the Muslim leader Salah al-Din were probably the very best among them. He offered his personal medical staff to his opponent to - if not cure - at least try to reduce the pain he suffered. A cure would not be developed until the 1940s.
I was just thinking the same thing the thought ran across my mind” the times where a mans word could be trusted. Now and days you cant trust what one says. Tricksters are everywhere
As a Christian I have so much respect for Saladin. He was so honourable and even offered his physicians to an “enemy”. Both were amazing leaders and true men of God ☦️☪️
Saladin was respected because he was shown respect Richard the lionheart was also at war with Saladin and it was not one bit respectful both sides murdered all around them killing millions.
Mutually assured destruction. Salahudin knew Baldwin wouldn't have long left while he has all the time in the world. But seeing him look at kerak and wanting to take his revenge there only to have to turn around is powerful in itself. By the way. I totally recommend going to kerak if you can. It's an amazing castle. Unimaginably huge.
@@jax10xno, you have good and bad in every people. You do not often find leaders like saladin in history. The romans had a few but after their use had passed or their renown became to large, the cowardly and corrupt teamed up to get rid of them. And because of their loyalty to the idea of rome and the ideals and principles they upheld, along with their unwaverinr honor and integrity they often did not see it coming.
Saladin sending his physicians is historically accurate. Muslim physicians at the time were the best in the world so this moment meant a lot to Baldwin.
It was also a sign of great leadership on both sides. Baldwin being fair and not sending thousands to die to save face and having the integrity that even his enemy respected his word. To have such an enemy is a treasure beyond worth, especially in war.

Baldwin was the real, true leader of this Crusade. A man that was functionally already dead but fully alive in mind and spirit. He made all the right moves... and when he died, the game was up.
It depended on the culture. The Mongol conquest of Asia and part of east Europe wasn't "diplomatic" for most Christian and Muslim civilizations of that time.
@@saadbenkirane2711 Mongol as an "insult" is because the use of "Mongoloid" to describe a medical condition. The appearance was considered similar the a person with the syndrome and for that reason the term was used, it wasn't to insult Mongolians, lol.

It's true. To give you a deeper look, He and Richard (the Lionheart) grew to respect one another as military leaders. When Salahuddin Ayyubi heard that Richard had fallen ill in Ascalon, he sent peaches and pears to help restore him to health. He also sent packs of snow from Mount Hermann to cool the King’s fever. At Arsuf, when Richard lost his horse, Salahuddin sent him two replacements. The Jewish philosopher Maimonides was one of Salahuddin Ayyubi’s personal physicians. When Jerusalem was recaptured, Salahuddin invited the Jews, who had been excluded by the Crusaders to come back, in particular the Jews of Ashkelon responded to his request. Salahuddin died of a fever on March 4 1193, at Damascus, not long after Richard’s departure. Since Salahuddin had given most of his money away for charity, when they opened his treasury they found there was not enough money to pay for his funeral.
@@abusubhi311 i studied him from a military point of view but his deeds beyond the battles were the stuff of legends. Not just in the Muslim world but the Christians as well. A protector of all faiths and a man who truely seeked knowledge from all corners of the globe.

@@ethanjensen2027 definitely inaccurate. I am under no illusions about the romanticism. I was just commenting on Saladins character. I'm sure there was some unpleasantness as well.
@@ethanjensen2027 so what would you say about the Crusaders king? They left literally no woman man or child alive when they took Jerusalem? Were they radical Christians or does that only apply to us Muslims?
One who is noble enough to know the true meaning of the words "I swear it". And one who is humble enough to greet another with the words of his faith. True Kings, both.
Salam alaikum is a common greeting in Arabic, regardless of religion. At the time, it would have been common for both Christians and Muslims (if speaking Arabic) to use it.
As a soldier this movie touched me deeply. Knowing that these leaders would be fighting along side there men. Laying there lives down and standing there ground to the bitter end is so inspiring to me. Knowing that these men saw there men as MEN. not pawns or bodies to be thrown to the ever moving machine of war. Truly inspiring.
Mmeehhh, they were mostly untouchable. The great leaders didnt actually fight. They directed their armies and inspired them. But a regular foot soldier wasnt supposed to be trying to koll a man like these 2

He said "we" not "you" all will die here. Meaning he ain't got time to play and I ain't got time to spare. All or nothing or nothing will be left standing for either. This was cold. But the respect from both sides was admirable. Both cared for their men and one cared for the other's health. Honorable.
A cold reality in one sentence. You lose everything in the conquest of war, there is no but's and if's, death is imminent in a battle, hundreds in both side.
Salahadine always respected King Baldwin because Baldwin was the worthiest man between the crussaders men, even being so broken and sick was brave, respectful and defended the free enter of jews and muslins in Jerusalen helping them.

@@Toxic_Dominat810it’s kinda like “peace be with you” and “peace be with you too” it’s mainly a Muslim greeting but it was also used in Christian countries, it originates from the middle east.
Edward Norton, just using his voice, conveys Baldwin perfectly. “Withdraw or we will all die here.” You can hear how he is sad about the situation but still brave and honorable enough to accept the risk of death.
Yes, a time when there existed TRUE leaders. The first man said "withdraw or we will all die here". The second man knew that was the purest truth. Both conveyed to each other as Men, the consequences of their actions. Let's agree to not "die here" RESPECT!!

I would imagine several of us here in the comments are alive today because this battle never took place. Thank you for being respectable, honorable leaders. Today's world misses this kind of humanity.
@Michael Marshall yeah, it's crazy looking at all our ancestors went through. Battles, famines, plagues. Yet we are here which means they beat the odds and we are the fortunate ones to be inheritors of their legacies.
A lot of people praised the “I will send you my physicians”. While it sounds honorable, Saladin just wanted an exact timeline from his own people to how long Baldwin will last so he can prepare to invade Jerusalem.

If you knew who his Physician was it would blow your mind because he is world famous in his own right and it's partially his influence on Jewish scripture that is behind the freedoms and values we have here in the US today. Saladin and this Physician were all of like mind on the subject of religion though one was Jewish, One was a Muslim Kurd( that right neither Saladin nor his Army was Arab) and the other Christian.
@@fightclub2210 He is talking a line from the movie Kingdom of Heaven. Saldin and Baldwin despite being enemies shared a mutual respect and they were both from all accounts very honorable men. Saladin understood that Baldwin had made a great sacrifice by riding all the way to avert a battle that would have killed both many of his own people and Saladins as well. Given his condition he risked his life to save all those people it was an honorable act. Saladin understood and had great respect for him because of his actions even if they were enemies and he decided that he wished to send his Physician to tend to him so he could return home safely and live a bit longer.
@@joshualittle877 Allow me to say here : yes Salah Aldeen was a Kurd man. but no dude, the most of his army was Arab knights specially from nomad “ Bedouins” soldiers and Kurd knights and Arab Moroccan troops, thats why he “Salah Al Deen” rewarded the army specially the Arab Moroccans so he gave them lands inside Jerusalem and also he named one of Aqsa mosque doors after the Moroccans “The Moroccans door” and that name still use till now and our references still mention the big families and clans whom participated in the war. About the physicians they were as you said Jews and Muslims and Christians as well, also our references still mention them. Last think I must say: all these races who became Muslims they became Arabs since they use Arabic as a mother language and shared same values, there is no need to say that Kylian Mbappé is not a French because he is an African, so we still say Salah Aldeen an Arabian man after he make Arabic his mother language and his empire was inside Arab countries and the values and culture are Arabian.
@@mohammedkashkoul388 First If you read what I actually wrote on the subject I never said there were no Arabs in his army. I said it was not an Arab army meaning the bulk of his forces were not Arab and Arabs were in subserviant positions. Saladin acted as an aid to his unlcle who lead an Army known as the Zengrid Army they were Kurdish and Skipjak Turks that served as a sort of a Mercinary Foreign Legion//Shock tropps for the Seljuk( agsin Tukic) Empire. They were sent from their base of operstion in Tikrit in what today Iraq with two primary missions to assist the Shia Fatamid Dynasty that ruled.Egypt, Syria and the Levant in fighting the Crusaders( They were not alles of the Seljuks but it was one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend situstions. The other job was fighting Arab Abasaid Caliphate as they were already at war with one another and this was the first steps of Turkic peoples atrempting to overthrow the Arab Caliphates that la add lasted almost 800 yrs. Part of his forces were the Turkic Zengrid and the other half were a Mamaluk Regiment Mamaluk were slave Mercinaries that were very similar to the later Ottoman Jennissary corps and given their exteme Prowess in battle over just about everyone else they were highly prised soldiers and were probably the inspiration for the later Janissaries. After all between Saladins Ayyubid Dynasty and The Ottoman Empire that ruled the region for 400 years The Mamaluk Empire not only ruled it for 200 years they also defeated the Mongols who had already beaten everyone else including the Abbasids. To be fair the Mongols actually lost and went home partially because their Kahn died. Im getting ahead of my self. So when he left Tikrit to go to Egypt he did not have any Arabs in his army because it was Arabs in part he was going to fight. That however changed slightly. He wound up coming to and agreement with the Arab Abbasaids and overthrowing the Fatamids making himself Sultan of Egypt, Syria and the Levant. and founding the Ayyubid Dynasty. So what or who were the Mamaluk? Well not only were the not Arabs( If you look them up the first line of their bio says NON-ARAB) they were for the most part not Turks either they were Christian slaves converted to Islam and trained as Soldiers just like the Janissaries. Also just like the Jsnissaries later Turkic soldiers voluntarily began joining Mamaluk Regiments because they became wealthy and politically powerfull despite being slaves. Along with Mongols they also defrated by the Ayyubid and Abbasids by this poit though they had become more Turkic and thats why they were called Mamaluk Turks. They were so good in fact the Ottomans after conquering the region in 1516 kept the Mamaluk and allowed them.to cintunue to rule the region under their emoire as a vasal state. It was these Mamaluks that employed and made up the Barbary Pirates that our US Marines fought during the Barbery wars. Thats why if you look at a picture of a Marine Corps Officers Sword its a Schimitar instead of a Saber like the Army. Morraccans and virtually all the peoples of North Africa are the people often labled the Moors and Berbers. Two names for the same people. They never called themselves that. They were called Moors by the Romans and Spanish. Moor was a short form of Morisco the Spanish and Latin name Beber is simply a short form for Barbarian hence the term Barbary Coast later European Colonials like the French used this name. Here is the thing though they were never a single people or even all the same ethnicty. Today they are considered a single people but ethnicly they are a mix of Phonecians( which were an ancient Cananite people and the nationality of Carthage) Greeks, Romans, Jews,Spanish and local African tribes. While today all of their desendants are reckognized as Arabs they were no such thing at the time they were instead conquered by Arabs and forcibly Arabiized over the centuries both learning and adopting the language, Islam and Arab culture but they were and to some extent still are ethnicly and DNA wize very different and in those early days was not a matter of choice. Today there DNA is much more Arab because actual Arabs lived there and mixed with them for about 1400 years. Science, and common sense would heavily disagree that speaking the Arabic language makes you an Arab. Lots of people throughout the world soeak Arabic including many members of my family. I can assure you none are Arabs. There was for example a big difference in how the Arabs conquered Persia and how they conquered North Africa. In Persia while they speak Arabic generally just enough to read Quaran they never adopted Arab culture or language. Dont know why but I suspect the Persians were much more difficult to assimilate as unlike the Berbers/ Moors they were made up of much more singualr and defined ethnic groups they were not as mixed and there for much more cohesive with a strong national identity. Saladin himself was a Kurd who along with his family came from Armenia originally and went to Iraq. He as well as his Sejuk Overlords were not overly fond of Arabs as they and he had been at war with the Abasaids for most of his life. So to recap when he came from Tikrit to Egypt neither any of his Zengrid or Mamaluk forces were Arab. When he arrived they still were not Arab. He arrived in in Egypt in 1164 AD and came to power between 1169 and probably 1173 in stages he was first appointed Vizier and would later sieze the Sultanate as Fatamid power faded. During all of this time he had relatively the same forces he arived with none of which were Arab. It was not until 1187 when he actually set out to conquer Jerusalem that he began to integrate the Arab forces you speak of but they were the fewest in number and lowest in status of all his forces..Not because they were not exceptional warriors he again just wasnt fond of and did not trust Arabs. Here as confirmed by several historical websites was the break down of his forces. He had 12,000 professional Calvalrymen these were entirely composed of Turks, Kurds and Turcomen of the Central Asain Steppe( mod ern Turminostan) nomadic tribes. The Arabs were composed of three groups. They had a small contingent of very good light cavalry and along with Nubians and about 30,000 Volunteers from the former Fatamid that served as Infantry and archers. So yes Arabs did serve in that force used to take Jerusalem and the Battle of Hattin depicted in Kingdom of Heaven. Like the Arabs 800 years later that fought the Soviets in Afghsnistan they fought in their own indeoendant regiments and were never formally part of Saladins Army and didnt hold any command or positions of authority in it. Ethnic identity was a key deciding factor in status within his forces. Most of the Arabs with the exception of the Bedoine werw Shia who he forced to convert back to Sunni Islam and they were almost all Infantry Grunts and Archers. His Heavy Cavalry and Commanders were all Turcomen and they made up the vast majority if not the entirety of his actual army the Arab Light Cavalry and Infantry were almost entirely volunteers recruited because he reckognized that though he didnt care for Arabs he needed the numbers to win and these were now his subjects.
I ABSOLUTELY love this scene, probably one of my favourites of all time, not only for its composition, but for what it represents. A hero of the west and a hero of the middle east meeting, and showing that nobility, leadership and compassion - even to your enemies - are the most admirable traits in any human being.

Saladin sending his physicians is historically accurate. Muslim physicians at the time were the best in the world so this moment meant a lot to Baldwin.
Yup, that's one thing about Islam I love is that we had the longest life spans in the world, double other cultures due to our practices.
@@alihaidar5787Maybe for the rich. The slaves and the peasants did not enjoy those luxuries.
It was also a sign of great leadership on both sides. Baldwin being fair and not sending thousands to die to save face and having the integrity that even his enemy respected his word. To have such an enemy is a treasure beyond worth, especially in war.

It’s not exactly practical to have your Nation’s leader on the front lines of a brutal and unpredictable war or conflict. The fact so many leaders died in battle is WHY these times were so unstable and plagued with civil war and assassination.
@@Doombringer_r its impractical but it will make leaders think twice before waging wars because their life is on the line as well.

Baldwin was the real, true leader of this Crusade. A man that was functionally already dead but fully alive in mind and spirit. He made all the right moves... and when he died, the game was up.
Time when honor and respect wasn't only a sound.
It depended on the culture. The Mongol conquest of Asia and part of east Europe wasn't "diplomatic" for most Christian and Muslim civilizations of that time.
@@lorenzozapaton4031 That's why the term mongol is an insult til this day

It was a great scene. Saladin was said to be of the type of character that the movie portrayed. Died having given most of his wealth to his people.
It's true. To give you a deeper look, He and Richard (the Lionheart) grew to respect one another as military leaders. When Salahuddin Ayyubi heard that Richard had fallen ill in Ascalon, he sent peaches and pears to help restore him to health. He also sent packs of snow from Mount Hermann to cool the King’s fever. At Arsuf, when Richard lost his horse, Salahuddin sent him two replacements. The Jewish philosopher Maimonides was one of Salahuddin Ayyubi’s personal physicians. When Jerusalem was recaptured, Salahuddin invited the Jews, who had been excluded by the Crusaders to come back, in particular the Jews of Ashkelon responded to his request. Salahuddin died of a fever on March 4 1193, at Damascus, not long after Richard’s departure. Since Salahuddin had given most of his money away for charity, when they opened his treasury they found there was not enough money to pay for his funeral.
@@abusubhi311 i studied him from a military point of view but his deeds beyond the battles were the stuff of legends.

Salam alaikum is a common greeting in Arabic, regardless of religion. At the time, it would have been common for both Christians and Muslims (if speaking Arabic) to use it.

You lose everything in the conquest of war, there is no but's and if's, death is imminent in a battle, hundreds in both side.

@@fightclub2210 He is talking a line from the movie Kingdom of Heaven. Saldin and Baldwin despite being enemies shared a mutual respect and they were both from all accounts very honorable men.

Given his condition he risked his life to save all those people it was an honorable act.

@@joshualittle877
Allow me to say here : yes Salah Aldeen was a Kurd man. but no dude, the most of his army was Arab knights specially from nomad “ Bedouins” soldiers and Kurd knights and Arab Moroccan troops, thats why he “Salah Al Deen” rewarded the army specially the Arab Moroccans so he gave them lands inside Jerusalem and also he named one of Aqsa mosque doors after the Moroccans “The Moroccans door” and that name still use till now and our references still mention the big families and clans whom participated in the war.
About the physicians they were as you said Jews and Muslims and Christians as well, also our references still mention them.
Last think I must say: all these races who became Muslims they became Arabs since they use Arabic as a mother language and shared same values, there is no need to say that Kylian Mbappé is not a French because he is an African, so we still say Salah Aldeen an Arabian man after he make Arabic his mother language and his empire was inside Arab countries and the values and culture are Arabian.
@@mohammedkashkoul388 First If you read what I actually wrote on the subject I never said there were no Arabs in his army. I said it was not an Arab army meaning the bulk of his forces were not Arab and Arabs were in subserviant positions. Saladin acted as an aid to his unlcle who lead an Army known as the Zengrid Army they were Kurdish and Skipjak Turks that served as a sort of a Mercinary Foreign Legion//Shock tropps for the Seljuk( agsin Tukic) Empire. They were sent from their base of operstion in Tikrit in what today Iraq with two primary missions to assist the Shia Fatamid Dynasty that ruled.Egypt, Syria and the Levant in fighting the Crusaders( They were not alles of the Seljuks but it was one of those "the enemy of my enemy is my friend situstions. The other job was fighting Arab Abasaid Caliphate as they were already at war with one another and this was the first steps of Turkic peoples atrempting to overthrow the Arab Caliphates that la add lasted almost 800 yrs. Part of his forces were the Turkic Zengrid and the other half were a Mamaluk Regiment Mamaluk were slave Mercinaries that were very similar to the later Ottoman Jennissary corps and given their exteme Prowess in battle over just about everyone else they were highly prised soldiers and were probably the inspiration for the later Janissaries. After all between Saladins Ayyubid Dynasty and The Ottoman Empire that ruled the region for 400 years The Mamaluk Empire not only ruled it for 200 years they also defeated the Mongols who had already beaten everyone else including the Abbasids. To be fair the Mongols actually lost and went home partially because their Kahn died. Im getting ahead of my self. So when he left Tikrit to go to Egypt he did not have any Arabs in his army because it was Arabs in part he was going to fight. That however changed slightly. He wound up coming to and agreement with the Arab Abbasaids and overthrowing the Fatamids making himself Sultan of Egypt, Syria and the Levant. and founding the Ayyubid Dynasty. So what or who were the Mamaluk? Well not only were the not Arabs( If you look them up the first line of their bio says NON-ARAB) they were for the most part not Turks either they were Christian slaves converted to Islam and trained as Soldiers just like the Janissaries. Also just like the Jsnissaries later Turkic soldiers voluntarily began joining Mamaluk Regiments because they became wealthy and politically powerfull despite being slaves. Along with Mongols they also defrated by the Ayyubid and Abbasids by this poit though they had become more Turkic and thats why they were called Mamaluk Turks. They were so good in fact the Ottomans after conquering the region in 1516 kept the Mamaluk and allowed them.to cintunue to rule the region under their emoire as a vasal state. It was these Mamaluks that employed and made up the Barbary Pirates that our US Marines fought during the Barbery wars. Thats why if you look at a picture of a Marine Corps Officers Sword its a Schimitar instead of a Saber like the Army. Morraccans and virtually all the peoples of North Africa are the people often labled the Moors and Berbers. Two names for the same people. They never called themselves that. They were called Moors by the Romans and Spanish. Moor was a short form of Morisco the Spanish and Latin name Beber is simply a short form for Barbarian hence the term Barbary Coast later European Colonials like the French used this name. Here is the thing though they were never a single people or even all the same ethnicty. Today they are considered a single people but ethnicly they are a mix of Phonecians( which were an ancient Cananite people and the nationality of Carthage) Greeks, Romans, Jews,Spanish and local African tribes. While today all of their desendants are reckognized as Arabs they were no such thing at the time they were instead conquered by Arabs and forcibly Arabiized over the centuries both learning and adopting the language, Islam and Arab culture but they were and to some extent still are ethnicly and DNA wize very different and in those early days was not a matter of choice. Today there DNA is much more Arab because actual Arabs lived there and mixed with them for about 1400 years. Science, and common sense would heavily disagree that speaking the Arabic language makes you an Arab. Lots of people throughout the world soeak Arabic including many members of my family. I can assure you none are Arabs. There was for example a big difference in how the Arabs conquered Persia and how they conquered North Africa. In Persia while they speak Arabic generally just enough to read Quaran they never adopted Arab culture or language. Dont know why but I suspect the Persians were much more difficult to assimilate as unlike the Berbers/ Moors they were made up of much more singualr and defined ethnic groups they were not as mixed and there for much more cohesive with a strong national identity.
Saladin himself was a Kurd who along with his family came from Armenia originally and went to Iraq. He as well as his Sejuk Overlords were not overly fond of Arabs as they and he had been at war with the Abasaids for most of his life. So to recap when he came from Tikrit to Egypt neither any of his Zengrid or Mamaluk forces were Arab. When he arrived they still were not Arab. He arrived in in Egypt in 1164 AD and came to power between 1169 and probably 1173 in stages he was first appointed Vizier and would later sieze the Sultanate as Fatamid power faded. During all of this time he had relatively the same forces he arived with none of which were Arab. It was not until 1187 when he actually set out to conquer Jerusalem that he began to integrate the Arab forces you speak of but they were the fewest in number and lowest in status of all his forces..Not because they were not exceptional warriors he again just wasnt fond of and did not trust Arabs. Here as confirmed by several historical websites was the break down of his forces. He had 12,000 professional Calvalrymen these were entirely composed of Turks, Kurds and Turcomen of the Central Asain Steppe( mod ern Turminostan) nomadic tribes. The Arabs were composed of three groups. They had a small contingent of very good light cavalry and along with Nubians and about 30,000 Volunteers from the former Fatamid that served as Infantry and archers. So yes Arabs did serve in that force used to take Jerusalem and the Battle of Hattin depicted in Kingdom of Heaven. Like the Arabs 800 years later that fought the Soviets in Afghsnistan they fought in their own indeoendant regiments and were never formally part of Saladins Army and didnt hold any command or positions of authority in it. Ethnic identity was a key deciding factor in status within his forces. Most of the Arabs with the exception of the Bedoine werw Shia who he forced to convert back to Sunni Islam and they were almost all Infantry Grunts and Archers. His Heavy Cavalry and Commanders were all Turcomen and they made up the vast majority if not the entirety of his actual army the Arab Light Cavalry and Infantry were almost entirely volunteers recruited because he reckognized that though he didnt care for Arabs he needed the numbers to win and these were now his subjects.
I ABSOLUTELY love this scene, probably one of my favourites of all time, not only for its composition, but for what it represents. A hero of the west and a hero of the middle east meeting, and showing that nobility, leadership and compassion - even to your enemies - are the most admirable traits in any human being. Really just beautiful film-making.
So sad what inbreeding and civil wars has done to the Middle East
Even with all their oil so lost
Hero??? Lmao they're evil Muslims, they're villains
@@KCJbomberFTW Poor quality bait.
My favorite is between orlando blooms character and the angel/hospitaler, talking about what god wants is in the heart. Such a good scene.
@@DrRaadM look it up 70% of individuals in the Middle East are inbred
The decline since the 60s in technology culture etc all points to it but nobody says anything
Inbreeding leads to irrational aggression subservience to leadership proclivity for martyrdom
A wise man once said "All religions hold their own truth as they are all man trying to find purpose in virtue." It really shows how both of these men were of God in their own ways and respect each other's path.
King Baldwin was so wise at a young age… so sad he was cursed with leprocy.
What is it you guys? What is it that I love so much about this scene? The subtle faceless performance. The body language and tone of voice, the mutual respect between characters. So much to love in such a short moment.
The fact that both men acted as though they feared a just God. That is the seed of good character.
two lions of God showing mutual respect,🙏 amen 🙏
@@violetsplace524show some respect mate something alot people don't know these days
@@violetsplace524I mean if we're going by Judeo-Christian "rules" there are times God had used nonbelievers to fulfill prophecy, and iirc there are plenty times in the bible that it's mentioned that even when heathen/pagan rulers instated themselves as authority it's done so because God allows it.
I can't say anything about the Muslim religion as I haven't studied it enough to make a comment.
You have to read about islam go watch and listen to ahmed deedat and zakir naik
Remember the other one is younger and more mature.
THOSE KINGS WERE VERY GOOD
BUT LOOK AT YOU PEOPLE
FIGHTING IN THE NAME OF GOD
Nothing beats getting ready for battle, getting to the grounds and not have to fight
King doesn't kill another king
- Salahuddin ayubi 👑
the world needs leaders like this.
Saladin shows Mercy and Wisdom. I'd Respect him immensely and wouldn't want to Fight due to that fact.
he already earned his moniker "Salahuddin the Wise" by the great scholars.
baldwin IV and saladin were actually friends when they were young
saladin english accent is so magnificent , what a charisma and presence
"Your quality will be known amongst your enemies" this movie was full of cool scenes of respect
What movie is this I'm seeing clips everywhere
@@birdhead9943 the name of the movie is in the video title. Kingdom of heaven
I love when the Saracen King tells Guy, "Where you not close enough to a great king to learn by his example?"

If only real people had this kind of maturity and respect.
Saladin Al-Ayoubi is my great grandfather, and I am proud of him as a Kurd and a Muslim. ❤
I'm Turkish and I respect him. He was a brave and strong commander. Greettings From Turkey😊
@@berkant.35 thanks bro, I respect your opinion and your acceptance of the truth. Although we differ in our opinion of our country, and even though we are from Kurdistan, Islam brings us together. Whoever respects us, we respect him.
@@kakoofficial It doesn't matter where you sit. We are all human, we all carry different versions of the same gene. You have 2 arms and 1 heart, me too. Respects.

The silent shot of them across from eachother, then someone farted in a horn lmaooooo that kills me every time
It was happening as I read this comment lol, wouldn’t have noticed without
The old fart horn. 🤣
You know, you just raised this movie to a whole other level!
I thought the editing was a bit off...
After reading your comment i had to check Man i am rolling with laughter 🤣🤣
The physicians Saladin had were probably the best in the world at the time.
Ppl forget when Europe was going through the " dark ages" Syria, Egypt, and many places in the near and far east were thriving
@@jonathancox1231 There was no such thing as the dark ages. This only refers to the fall of the Roman empire and it's lost technology. In reality the middle east had very good astronomers and mathematics. But Europe developed the four wheel cart and way better agriculture. It amazes me that a lot of people seem to think that Europeans were stupid back then. They made paper which lasted longer as papyrus. They had very good ships and their travel equipment was better which shows with the crusades. A lot of these inventions from both sides swapped and today we are living in a world made due to that.
Nooo the paper was chinese
@@kwando472 the chinese created paper
I remember reading in a history book, that an Arab physician healed a French chevalier of plague. Arabs knew, that you had to cut the puss out and put healing herbs and honey(antibacterial and disinfectant) in the incissions. Plenty still died, but it increased your odds of surviving somewhat. Anyway, the fortress was retaken by Christian forces and the priests burned him alive for witchcraft.....
Salad: *Waves* ,Hello, it's me
Bald: *waves back* ,Hello there.
I always appreciate when it's shown how much these Great Leaders Respected one another through small acts of common courtesy and gestures.
The legendary leaders 👑
Fucken underrated movie!!! Love this movie, Edward Norton is just amazing, that voice is so unique.

The cinema version is crap. You need to watch the extended edition.
@@emmanuelrobert208 I was about to say that. The extended edition is just another and much better film altogether. It made such a huge difference watching it. People should just disregard the teatrical version and go straight to the extended. The added 120 minutes are just the best.
Back when leaders like King Richard I , The Lionheart and Salahuddin used their religions to protect the weak and innocent and relinquish poverty. Religious leaders today are an absolute joke compared to these kings. 👑
That's King Baldwin, he and King Richard are related
What are you talking about? Richard supported Guy (the idiot who lost that army in the desert) and opposed Balian because he supported Balwins true successor, Conrad
Salahuddin and Baldwin were great leaders of men that laboured for the good of their people. Salahuddin the merciful, King Baldwin Protector of Jerusalem
Richard lionheart was a war mongering, bloodthirsty tyrant that only sort to subvert the crown and fill his depleted reserves as his nation was broke.
In the name of god, the dumbest reason ever to go to war and whom won't die for you. Both fought in the name of the same god, the god of abraham, that required him to kill his own Son.
Love To All The People Of Our Planet. There Is Nothing More Sacred Than Our Children.
i dont know about Baldwin but Richard is a vile man do your research
@@grantropiha5746 "Whom wouldn't die for you."
JESUS- =/
most army leader when they go to battle : coursing eachother and stuff
but Baldwin and salahudin: peace be upon you
We need this leaders back 💝
