My Vision for a Crusades Movie

[@dbo514]

Hey Jay Stephen, I must say I love all your videos and even though I'm not always 100% in tune with your perspective, I truly admire your emphasis on historical grounding. I read your book last week and I was so sad once I finished it because you really brought Baldwin II, Melisende and all the other characters to life and I was longing for more. Despite its heavy shortcomings, Kingdom of Heaven had its moments (i.e. the King death scene) I still see Edward Norton's performance as the fictionalized version of Baldwin IV as one of the best of all time. I've thought about what an ideal movie of the crusades would include and there is so much to tell. I love your idea of a 1st crusade trilogy! Another good idea I think, would be the fall of Acre (1291). It would obviously be a dark movie, a la Downfall (which was spellbinding). I've actually written a bit of script, nothing extensive but I think there's an incredible story to be told there. By the way, if you could do a few videos on Baibars, that'd be great! All in all, I really hope you succeed in making this movie. -David

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Thanks so much Dbo, that means a lot. I really strove to bring those historical figures to life, and it sounds like for you that was effective. That really makes me happy, thanks my friend! Since you got that experience from the book, please go to the Amazon page and leave those thoughts in a review, it would really help me out. Thanks again, and stay in touch. www.amazon.com/Why-Does-Heathen-Rage-Crusades-ebook/dp/B01F9CGX54

Kingdom of heaven is atrocious cuz it's historically inaccurate

@Erick I think everybody in this community knows that. What I said was that despite the fact it often made no sense on a historical basis, there were a few great cinematic moments in Kingdom of Heaven.

But maybe turn this song into an instrumental, and use it to accompany a highly-stylized, dissociative-themed marching scene, perhaps culminating in a series of violent depictions of the hardships endured by one or more central characters, shown in the form of a montage of the historical brutality of Warfare, as experienced by those living in that Era of history...!!

I would love to see a crusade movie. But sadly the western worlds are too PC and they'll call this offensive to Muslims. They'll probably demand they all hug it out and have black crusaders in the end.

Awesome idea!

[@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449]

Keep pursuing your dreams and goals! Love this channel. I think my ideal Crusades movie would involve accurately portraying human personalities. What I mean by that is there are financially motivated people, villains, devout religious followers and etc in every military movement with a political/religious foundation. Portray the good and the bad on both sides. It’s like if you took the German miniseries Generation War and combined it with Band of Brothers you get both sides of an intense and complex story. A move that portrays historical honesty that deals with both sides from the glory to the more shameful acts of that makes sense. I’m not a fan of the movies that typically portray the Crusades as “evil” or overly “righteous” I want the honest gritty depiction of human nature if that makes sense? What are your thoughts? And it would be awesome if the movie was made based off of primary sources from both sides. That would be incredible.

[@viorp6982]

I'm 100% for that, trough a manga would be better. There are tons of ridicously good historical manga out there set in medieval/early renessaince europe. A lot of them take a lot of creative liberty with history, but are still much better researched than half of the stuff Holywood puts out there.

[@atomichobbit7358]

I could see the First Crusade as a series like Game of Thrones, as you would be able to have more time and are able to cover more.

[@constantinediomedes6277]

If I am being honest, I would pledge around a hundred dollars to this myself, I really love the crusades and its a damn shame there aren't too many good medieval movies, far fewer about the crusades. In regards to anime style, I would be okay with it since there have been many adaptions of western media into short anime style animated movies, especially if it was similar to medieval style anime like berserk. If I had more money I would fund the hell out of this project

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Thanks for the support!

[@TheBuckeyeHistoryGuy1776]

How about a showtime/netflix style series in which it would focus on crusades 1 through 3. 1 is this great adventure that ends with a proud ending, season 2 shows the troubles and losses that lead to a cliffhanger style finale and the series finale series ends a a perfect ending/ draw as saw in the 3rd crusade.... richard makes gains, but saladin still has jerusalem perfect series idea

Get the Knights of Columbus to help fund! There you go...done.

[@kingbaldwiniv5409]

Why!?! I don't think that question ever crossed my mind I a serious way. The Crusades are great! The movie selections thus far are entirely balls! Even if I rarely don't EXACTLY agree on a couple of points (Barbarosa and maybe nothing else), I truly hope that you can help craft something that embraces what truly motivated these people. We need a non-modernist, accurate, non-agenda-driven, truth piece. You can do that! You guys are equipped for that! When you were reading knight accounts of King St. Louis IX, priceless! That is something that NO HOLLYWOOD GROUP would do. Please don't give up on this! I have wanted something like this forever but wrote off the possability. The 1st Crusade idea of a trilogy is cool. Baldwin IV aproves of your selection of Montgissard! A Richard piece would be epic! You could get the Knights, Cypress, Saladin, sweet.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

You would love reading the Berserk manga books (Japanese Comics) it has fantasy, witchcraft, the main character wears full black platemail and tears things in half with a big bastard sword, and theres even an arc where it deals with the inquisitions and the church. In Berserk there was also an arc based on Arabian mythology and the djinn.

[@pag-op7wi]

When the day comes, you can guarantee on my support my friend. Anything with your name attached to it will result in a historically accurate and fulfilling experience. The Crusades are a very undersaturated market that needs a film that will bring the Crusades justice. Can't wait to continue to read and watch your work in the future.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Thanks so much Peter!

[@kvjqxzz5905]

how about AD732, Martel the Hammer?

[@FiveLiver]

Initially, rather than go for one of the offensive Crusades with all the pitfalls of assumed aggression, I suggest the defence of Rhodes in 1480, as subject matter - it has a victorious ending, but could start with a backdrop of the disaster of Constantinople 27 years earlier. The Knights Hospitallers 'star' (so no rabbit holes for Templar oddities). I knew of this event in the early 1970s and imagined it as a movie vehicle for Charlton Heston as Grand Master Pierre d'Aubusson. It would provide a reminder that the struggle continued long after the archetypal Crusader Richard I's era, and be a nod to the fact that the enemy is still intent on invasion to this day.

[@Pyrrhus399]

I would like to see a graphic novel or illustrated short story about the crusades. I would really enjoy to be appart of something like that.

[@Pyrrhus399]

It could be a first step towards something like this, as a testing ground for a story.

[@Pyrrhus399]

I think a story of the 1st crusade, but create a character for the author of the gesta francorum following the experience of a unit of norman knights. the other is one I've messed around in my head around the time of the fall of Edessa and the second crusade, with a boy and a son of an important knight of the city and an armenian mother who escapes the sack of Edessa, who ultimately either comes into the service of some noble or joins the templars and his ultimate goal is to find and rescue his mother and sister who where taken as slaves from edessa and at some point has to fight his twin brother who was also taken as a slave but was raised as a mamluk. the last one is kind of incoherent but would be a very human small scale story within the whirlwind of the second crusade.

[@city_of_coompton6832]

I would totally buy a graphic novel from this channel

[@baldrickthedungspreader3107]

I think an animation would be the right way to go because you could go for a lot of historical accuracy in regards to the weapons armour outfits and fighting styles without being limited financially

[@cynicaloptimist970]

Nice to hear that someone else can see the potential in animated features. Another part of the crusades that I personally think would make for an interesting subject in both a movie and a book would be the life-story of Raymond III of Tripoli.

Hey Jan Stephen, I think this would be better explored as a series of movies exploring several key characters. Or perhaps a Netflix type tv series.

[@ThomFoolery12]

On your comment regarding Saladins biographer, I was under the impression that Baha al-Din held that position, although I’m sure you’re better informed than me. Great ideas, if you’ve ever seen the animated Beowulf I see that as a could option for animation style.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Ibn Shaddad is Baha ad-Din. Thanks!

[@michaelmccabe3079]

There could also be a 4-hour movie about each of the Crusades, much like Gettysburg/Waterloo. Keeping it practical through models and practical special effects would be great, and medieval armies were a lot smaller than we imagine them to be. Hundreds of cavalry is more common than thousands of infantry. You ever read Hans Delbruek?

[@finrodbrs]

One other movie trilogy along these lines could focus on the Knights of Malta. First movie covers the fall of Rhodes in 1521, Second movie covers the Siege of Malta 1565 and ends with the fall of Fort St. Elmo, and the third movie ends with the Knights triumph over the Ottomans. I'd call the trilogy "The Last Crusaders."

[@joequim8249]

Try the story of the kingdom of Portugal or El Cid, you will have another crusade different and with strange alliance's Mours and Christian's

[@sandijay4]

Very good idea. I enjoyed "Kingdom of Heaven" but was frustrated by its historical inaccuracies.

[@apexinvestments5602]

I have to say that I really like this idea and would invest if you want to do a movie on the Crusades. Personally, I think the early history of the Crusades are my favorite. From the calling of the crusades, through Constantinople and the challenging journey to the Holy Land. You could also focus on the personal dynamics between different crusaders. I think it would be great to end with the great campaigns of Baldwin I to establish the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

[@patrickbuckley7259]

Best Idea for a Crusades movie is to create a movie where the Crusaders are depicted as flawed heroes, fighting to defend their way of life from the Muslims, who are depicted as complex villains, who genuinely believe that what they are doing (Conquering the Christian world, oppressing, and murdering all who do not convert) as a good thing. Make it a real Liberty VS. Order battle, except flip the script from pretty much every movie ever made about the Crusades, where it is Islam that represents a Tyrannical force, and the Crusaders who represent the scrappy freedom fighters who are willing to commit heinous act's to defend their ideals and way of life, from said invading tyranny. Rather than focus on the Crusades as a inherently bad thing, giving a more complete pictures of the heroism and atrocity of the era, to ask whether or not they where justified, without giving a yes or no answer. Also I love Arn!

The guys doing the anime warhammer 40k about this inquisitor might be interrested. From my experience 40k fans well into grey knights and inquisition stuff tend to be right wing. Of course they are super busy now but they have a visual style that would fit a crusade setting.

[@AlecFortescue]

I do think animation would be amazing. A lot of adults are nostalgic for Disney animated films, actually. But I would honestly love something along the lines of Ralph Bakshi's or even Disney (although with less "sweetness") style rather than anime or cgi-like animation. I do miss traditional animation films.

[@yehudasam]

Loved the trilogy idea for the 1st crusade. Help: I am a crusades enthusiant from Israel, I have a Ba degree in history. I would love to contribute in the future with anything related to geographical accuracy, since I live in the holy land and visited multiple crusader sights here.

I wish there would be a crusader movie with accurate accounts like what your channel stands for. Although I’d like to see some forbidden romance added to the movie between a Crusader and a Saracen lady. And I would totally donate for such a movie 😍

[@MaitlandJones]

It would be nice to have a movie about the middle ages that actually depicts Europe positively instead of the usual "Look at how stupid, uneducated, uncleanly are ancestors were." Sometimes it feels like the media is trying to make us ashamed of who we were and where we come from. I currently live in China, they are not ashamed of their history, there are so many great movies, depicting characters from the past. Like the cunning tactician Zhuge Liang or the warlord Cao Cao. I absolutely love this channel and point it out to friends who might be interested. It's nice to be able to see my history come alive so untarnished with defamation. I am a history nerd, so it is good to be able to be connected to the heritage of my past. Thank you for your wonderful work, God bless and Deus Vult! PS: If you do an anime, I'd say the story of Robert I of Sicily and his conquest of Sicily would fit perfectly. His personality almost screams archetypal hot headed shonen protagonist to me. Though I think this would be better as a series than a movie.

[@mweibleii]

As I understand, professional anime is charged per second. Fighting scenes can run $8,000 to $25,000 [edit: and are costed] per second depending on what is required. $250K should be enough to make a 20 min anime. So I've read.

[@RealCrusadesHistory]

Ōkami-san that’s way more than what I’ve found through my research

[@mweibleii]

Real Crusades History This is in reference to Japanese anime. A typical episode runs $100K to $300K USD and is usually around 20 min. The costs increase dramatically with fight scenes. Because you dedcribed what sounded like epic battles and knights I thought $250K was reasonable. My family is Japanese and we also have a moderately successful channel and I looked into the cost a year ago. It surprised us as well. I'm not sure what it would cost in other countries or anime made in Korea. Low end anime may be cheaper. We investigated a quality on par with Naruto (commercial quality).

[@mweibleii]

[@josephposavac3767]

Sounds like a pretty sweeping project. Best of luck with it. There are so many stories in the history of Christianity and Christendom that would make good entertainment. The Reconquista in Spain, for instance. A few years ago there were plans for an independent movie about the Council of Nicaea and its surrounding events, which would have served as an antidote to the historical fallacies of The Da Vinci Code. There was even a trailer for it, which is still available on KZbin. I donated $50 of my own to the project. Unfortunately it appears to have been abandoned. Finding an audience might prove to be a challenge.

[@kingbaldwiniv5409]

Bolchevik duck, I am working on it, I don't know why not either. Montgissard had to be at least one miracle!

[@darken2417]

The Church recognizes saints. It does not make saints. Those who without a doubt died in a state of grace and are most definitely in heaven are those that are recognized as saints. The reason he isn't is because one of the things used as evidence is miracles that are in relation to him after his life. If a few people claimed a miracle that has something to do with him and the miracles are deemed credible by the Church then they may see fit to look into the possibility of him being a saint and the possibility of recognizing him as such. There are far more saints than are confirmed to be saints because to confirm takes investigations, research, miracles, and loads of information especially regarding a person's death.

[@kingbaldwiniv5409]

Nobody disagreed with that. There has to be instigation however to investigate the matter. The Church is not an institution of unlimited resources. In addition, some people are allergic to what could be seen as an impolitic time to recognize the sainthood of a devoted enemy of the Saracens. This could be particularly impolitic considering Pope Francis' public statements as to the disposition of Islam. Pope Pius XII merits serious consideration, but we do not know the disposition of the process for him either, at least I do not know. As he was an enemy of a number of worldly evils, such a recognition could act as a beacon of strength to the faithful, provided that it was a licit recognition.

[@elcidcampeador9629]

The siege of Malta would be great subject matter as well. It could start by following La Vallete through the defeat at Rhodes and into his slavery aboard muslim galley's and into the establishment of the Knights of St.John on Malta. It could climax into the siege itself and the eventual defeat of the Mohammedan fleet.

[@thomaskole9881]

John Hayward Depends on the director, studio, style and script. Theoretically it could work, if they stick to source material and put effort in historical accuracy. But medieval European warrior? If anything a work of fiction about the crusades should not be used to glorify one side while demonizing the other (this goes for both sides). The muslims could be brutal or reasonable, same goes for the crusaders; overall the medieval world was a much harsher and more violent environment then the world we live in.

The third Crusade would be a good one as the Lion Heart is such a hero type character, but the first crusade will always be the most glorious and interesting. I like the anime idea as its far more achievable in my opinion compared to a live-action film which is near pointless unless you have a Hollywood budget. I would look into getting a script/business plan and take it to Funimation when like you said you have given the channel more time to grow and have a better grasp on the idea/story its self. PS you could start the film series in Sicily with the two Norman brothers Roger and Robert they would be great main characters and you could have the films follow their journey all the way to Jerusalem. although that would be more like 4 movies...... :) Please watch the anime movies for the "Berserk" series that is the type of animation level you would need for this to work! Goodluck.

[@Acesahn]

They never mention how Muslims bricked off the Eastern gate, or created a cemetery right over the top of Jesus's tomb, cuz holy men cant cross defiled ground, so they say in their Arab beliefs... show that in your movie, the contempt they show us Christians.
