Is it a good movie for a young muslim to watch? I might watch it.
So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.
(Sura Ya-Seen 36:83)
i wouldnt say its important to watch it but a useful supplement in seeing how the potrayal of muslims are today. Im quite curious really some friends have said its a neutral movie but i would like to see what others think and also see it for myself.
just saw this movie last night
kingdom of heaven starring orlando bloom
the movie potrays the muslims very good in this movie for a change.
:loving: potray christian crusaders bad....:loving: in taking over jerusalem
i was very surprised as there usually portray the muslims as terrorist,murderers etc in movies
I think it's quite funny that the muslim community are happy with a film which is neautral (no offence to anyone btw). Historically speaking, the character Orlando Bloom plays (can't remember his name) doesnt exist. The hollywood producers had a problem since the movie looked something like this (if it was to be made accurately): -
Salah-ad-din (Muslim - Very Good/Merciful) VS King Richard II (Christian - Very Bad, Merciless (i.e. killed 3000 prisoners of war etc..)
So, what do they do, they keep the real Salah-ad-din, but put in a fake Christian character, so the movie looks something like this: -
Salah-ad-din (Muslim - Very Good/Merciful) VS Orlando guy (Christian - Very Good, Merciful).
Three-time Academy Award®-winning director-producer Steven Spielberg directs Munich, an historical thriller set in the aftermath of the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. Munich recounts the dramatic story of the secret Israeli squad assigned to track down and assassinate 11 Palestinians believed to have planned the 1972 Munich massacre -- and the personal toll this mission of revenge takes on the team and the man who led it. Eric Bana (Troy) stars as the Mossad agent charged with leading the band of specialists brought together for this operation.

Actually Balian of Ibelin was a real character, at least according to the book 'The Crusades Through Arab Eyes", although he may have been portrayed differently in the movie. Salaam.
