Love how Saladin trusted Balwin's promise without second thought, like its certainly will happen because he said so, when a promise of a leader was so valuable and trustworthy. Later on Saladin greatest insulted to Guy de Lusignan: "Were you not close enough to a great king to learn by his example?"

[@K_Balu]

Yep, Baldwin was arguably the best Christian king at that time in the middle-east, he was just and good natured, respected and by his allies and enemies alike and loved by his people, only his mother, brother and the caretaker they bring with them were evil and Baldwin was dying and become way to tired to do anything against them. Learned all this in a book called Misteries of the Knights Templar

[@sonatine3266]

Glad you wrote that! It's insane: While the Cinema / TV cut seems to not even be a good movie, the Director's Cut is one of the best movies I've ever seen (even if it's historically not THAT correct). That shows so much how a longer movie with the complete story told makes a huge, huge difference. Also the reason why I think that the final Netflix cut of "Outlaw King" with it's 117 minutes could have been much better due to the fact that the original movie was a lot longer, but Mackenzie cut it a lot more than initially planned - a last time for another 20 minutes, after he showed it in Toronto at the Film Festival. His first cut was more than 4 hours (240 minutes) long and since they released some of the deleted scenes, you get an idea how much better the movie with all that scenes would have been. I'd love if nowadays directors like Mackenzie would later just release a Director's Cut or Extended Cut like it used to be 15-40 years ago (f.e. "Kingdom of Heaven").

[@paulkirby2761]

Great scene. King Baldwin is portrayed as a fair, honorable and likable King that was respected by all sides. I think this is shown in this scene the way Saladin doesn't have any aggression nor accusations towards him. Saladin calmly and politely requests "I pray you pull back your cavalry and leave this matter to me" so Saladin clearly thinks highly of King Baldwin enough to not even consider the possibility that perhaps King Baldwin ordered these attacks. They just speak very calming and respectfully to each other even though it's a very serious encounter between two very powerful armies on the brink of all out war. King Baldwin is visually dying here, weary, suffering and yet shows his true worth to compose himself enough to respectfully greet Saladin and issue him a very short and simple ultimatum "He will be punished I swear it. Withdraw or we will all die here. Do we have terms?" Saladin is wise enough to understand the situation, can see that King Baldwin is close to death so he's not bluffing and clearly doesn't have any gripes about dying a little bit sooner than he's going to anyway. It's non-negotiable" terms" and Saladin wisely withdraws to fight another day when things are more favorable.

[@mohamadsellami5096]

نعم تحليلك صحيح

[@Omar-kw5ui]

Actually I think Saladin is simply strictly applying Quranic rules of engagement here. If the enemy sues for peace, then we are ordered to accept peace Quran 8:61. During Prophet Mohammed's life, he accepted terms of peace with his enemies even though it was clearly unfavourable for him and his companions and very favourable for his enemies (treaty of hudiaybiyyah). But, peace is peace.

Excellent, excellent analysis and you're absolutely right. Later in the film he states his reasoning for withdrawing was for strategic purposes, which is likely true. But on a deeper level he understood fully that the king before him has no qualms whatsoever with dying, considering he was already mostly dead. Baldwin the IV and Salah ad-Dinn by all account were such men, who likely have shown each other similarl courtesies.

Probably because Ridley Scott had as usual he does make deep dive into his films(have twists or second meanings not flat with first watch noticed) and hire arab/muslim historians who helped him. btw I have questions: does often cristian and muslim army leaders marched with they armies not ready to fight? and what really interests me: does musulmanians often sad this to cristian army leaders? if you don't know for sure you can tell your opinion if you have strong believe in truth. You noticed it right but I can say why Saladin did what he did. He know that they armies was equal in strength and he respected cristian general as he was equal to him and even defeated Saladin in his young ages . So why to fight good leader when can wait and win fool leader(spoler)? Maybe this even made him send his doctors (of course mostly for good). And I really believe that Saladin was on adrenaline rush and anger after defeating cavalry attack to start besiege and deal with Rene'd Shateljon when saw cristians, thats why he was furious and made his horse do these 360*, but his fast thinking saved his man lives and what made him great and allowed to conquer Jerusalem. what Ridley and actor nicely showed.

[@riyadmaherz2608]

@@Handconnonierr Salah al-Din's mistake was not to exterminate you when he liberated Jerusalem

[@Handconnonierr]

@@riyadmaherz2608 cristians didn't want to fight for it as it was not cost effective to send thousands to fight on equal with thousands who live there(better armor vs humans who live there+ horse/camel archery) . Too far away and too less to have, and because what we see in movie there was good terms to withrow(safe escape with honor and free to enter city to pray, questinable but possible) His goal was the city so he took it with little blood instead of famous battle where cristians probably should send another armies as they were defeated (but instead it was more like peace treaty walk away). So why it was a mistake? to besiege city and have stronger version of ''attempt to conquer or Malta''. Remember Ottoman Empire had apprehend on water to several countries; where I doubt that Saladin had anything even close (and you can even pick one, when they all could send they fleets) to Venece, Jenova(Jenove war ships sighted in Age of Empires 2). So you think very short handed and if you would Saladin you woudn't hold Jerusalem (as its kinda easy to take champion cup, but its much harder to hold). Real Saladin conquered and holded it. Think about this.

[@Ahadun_ahd]

This might be a reason in a movie. But in real life, Muslims are not allowed to say Salaam to non muslims/disbelievers. Greeting a non-Muslim first is haraam and is not permitted, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not initiate the greeting with the Jews and Christians, and if you meet them in the street push them towards the narrowest part of it.” But if they greet us we have to respond to them, because of the general meaning of the verse in which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “When you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than it, or (at least) return it equally” [al-Nisa’ 4:86] The Jews used to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) by saying, “Al-saam ‘alaykum ya Muhammad (Death be upon you, O Muhammad),” praying that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would die. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Jews say ‘al-saam ‘alaykum (death be upon you),’ so if they greet you, then say, ‘Wa ‘alaykum (and also upon you).’” If a non-Muslim greets a Muslim by saying “al-saamu ‘alaykum,” then we should respond by saying “wa ‘alaykum (and also upon you).” The fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said “wa ‘alaykum” indicates that if they were saying “al-salaamu ‘alaykum (peace be upon you),” then peace will also be upon them, i.e., whatever they say to us, we say to them. Hence some of the scholars said that if a Jew, Christian or other non-Muslim clearly says “al-salaamu ‘alaykum,” it is permissible for us to say “ ‘alaykum al-salaam (upon you be peace).” Similarly it is not permissible to initiate a greeting such as Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome) and the like, because that is a kind of honouring them. But if they say something like that to us, then we should say something similar to them, because the greeting should be returned in like manner and each person should be given his due. It is well known that the Muslims are higher in status before Allaah, so they should not humiliate themselves in front of non-Muslims by greeting them first. So, in conclusion, it is not permissible for us to greet non-Muslims first, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade that, and because this is a humiliation for the Muslim when he starts to honour a non-Muslim. The Muslim is higher in status before Allaah, so he should not humiliate himself in this manner. But if we are greeted then we should return the greeting in similar terms. Similarly it is not permissible for us to greet them first with words such as Ahlan wa sahlan (welcome), Marhaban (hello) and so on, because that is a kind of honouring them, so it is like initiating the greeting of salaams with them. Majmoo’ al-Fataawa, 3/33. If there is a need to greet a kaafir first, there is no sin in that, but it should be something other than the greeting of salaam, such as saying Ahlan wa sahlan or How are you, etc. In that case the greeting is for a reason, not to honour him. See al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah, 25/168. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (2/424), concerning greeting a kaafir first: A group of scholars said: It is permissible to greet him first if that serves a purpose, or for fear of his harm, or because of blood ties, or for a reason that requires that. And Allaah knows best.

I recall it received tepid reviews and didn't do well at the box office in the U.S. I personally thought it was magnificent, one of the best films in recent memory. The scale, scope, and production values were unreal. I found Orlando Bloom's character in "Troy" a year earlier to be nauseating. His role in "Kingdom of Heaven" on the other hand was superbly acted. The subsequent re-edits and extended versions of this film added a great deal more context to an already long and expansive story. This is a must see film for anyone with an interest in the crusades.

I think the movie suffered from an "Orly" hangover of sorts, to your point. Audiences had seen him four years running in more or less the same role (LoTR, Troy).

[@alkispiskas3580]

Edward Norton is not even mentioned in the cast of that film in IMDb! And his performance, even with his face covered, is captivating! One of the most underrated actor, among the best of all time!

[@DavidTjahyadi]

best scene ever imo, the gravity that Edward norton brought and the charisma of Saladin with his Saracen. Respect and Honor from both leaders for each other is tremendous, the gravity of their veiled but subtle threats and they have terms

[@definitelynosebreather]

Saladin command respect of a true king, and he doesn't need to do anything.

[@markdurl8341]

saladin was a rare case of a leader being truly noble. he gave away pretty much all his wealth to his subjects, so mush so that when he died, there was nothing to cover his funeral.

[@Kinderlieder-Kindergeschichte]

his inspiration was prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who gave all his wealth to the poor and died without having a single gold coin in his posession. also he forgave most of his enemies who tortured him and his people when he returned to Mekka with 10.000 men.

@@Kinderlieder-Kindergeschichte much like a muslim family whom i used to live just round the corner from, the father was a very generous sort of bloke. i was out for a walk one afternoon, walked past his house, he was doing some gardening, we got talking. one thing i learned very quickly, dont mention ISIS in front of him, they made him extremely angry.

[@ranja5962]

Babbling of middle easterners praising their leaders , you know there is something called al-dawla al-ayubia (the ayyubid nation) inherited to saladin's sons by him

@@wiszak9370, if Islam is a religion of peace then why Muslim countries do not allow churches, other religions temples to exist in Islam countries?

[@wiszak9370]

@@m5184jhd 1-Islam is a religion of mercy, while logically seeking peace. Blindly pacifist religions don't exist (or will not survive). 2-Churches and synagogues always existed and prospered in the Muslim world. At the same time Christians were genociding each other, and oppressing jews. In most europe, Muslims were allowed to have mosques only since 19th century, while you can find churches in Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Palestine...etc built during all Islamic eras.

I am just going to throw this out there, Baldwin had to learn to ride his horse with his knees. He leans back a lot while riding which may seem intimidating, but in all reality he is so weak he can barely hold himself up on the saddle.

[@AysarAburrub]

Our family has a document from the time of the ottoman empire that supposedly tracks our family tree all the way to the times of the Crusades and even further back. According to that document, the man whom our family descends from was a soldier of Kurdish and Arab descent of Salahuddin's army. He came from Iraq into Palestine to fight the Crusaders and he stayed there afterwards. Idk how truthful this document is, but if that's true, then it's friggin badass to know that my ancestor fought side by side with Salahuddin.

[@owend4894]

As an American whose family comes from a whole bunch of different parts of the world, it’s crazy to me that you could trace your family as far back as the time of Saladin. If true, that’s certainly something to be proud of.
