can you react to Arn The Knight Templar next?

@lynnedelacy2841

I love this film Eva Green looks fabulous and the male actors great eye candy plus I love the history of the Crusades

@peterjannen6012

If all his movies had a quick disclaimer I think it would solve my issue.

@J.S.A.

Historical accuracy aside, this is probably the last Ridley Scott film that I found to be a good watch. You can get away with inaccuracies if it’s good cinema, sadly that can’t be said for most of his work over last 15 years.

@tasty_ai

You could added that offering cup of water scene, that's just so famous and awesome

@mjc8281

What is really odd is that Balian's real story sounds much more interesting than the story in the movie.

@withershin

there is literally no chance using basic math that this dude has even the slightest clue. YouTube… please stop sending me fantasy videos. Yeah dude in 2024 totally has any connection to a movie from 20 iah years ago. All media on this subject is historically accurate. Medieval Historian is a joke on its own. So you read some books and paid for a degree on this one? cool cool

@chriscoy-jq2gp

Whatever the inaccuracies i still love this movie. Thank you though for the history. History is the only way we can see the future.
We can not see out to far nor can we see in too deep, but when was that ever bar to any watch we keep
