Was an ok movie. Have to admit I don't understand certain parts though. I was supposed to be pretty good with my Sirah. But way too long since I left madrasah. Way too long since I picked up an Islamic historical book. And even if I do remember what I learnt, I get too lost with the English equivalent of people and places.
Wish I knew the background better to appreciate the movie better. But it wasn't too bad an experience either. I'm not crazy about Mr Bloom but yeah he looks so pretty even as a blacksmith or covered with blood & grime. It was rather long, but you won't realise the time passing.
And I kinda enjoy war scenes actually. Hehe. Was rather funny when we were buying the tix. Waiting for them to be printed, the ticketing girl suddenly turned to us and said: "It's an NC16 movie, you know... " In a tone that seem to suggest that the movie was unsuitable for viewing, and we must be crazy to be. While pointing to a sign that states:
Kingdom of Heaven (NC16) War scenes and gore
We looked at each other and had to laugh. Suddenly ocurred how silly all this censorship can be.
