Every day AlloCiné recommends watching a movie on TV (again). Tonight: Orlando Bloom sank during the Crusades …
Ridley Scott and screenwriter William Monahan are fascinated by the long and unprecedented truce that the three major monotheistic religions practiced freely in Jerusalem during the Crusades, while developing a project called Tripoli. Five years after Gladiator, the famous film director again connected with the historical fresco heavenly kingdomWhich this time takes place in the Middle Ages.
The film, which was unjustly avoided upon its release, was a rather limited commercial success and brought in $ 211 million (twice less than the budget) at the global box office. In France it reached 1,270,000 admissions. At the time, Ridley Scott accused Twentieth Century Fox’s marketing teams of misleading the audience by selling an adventure film mixed with exoticism and romance rather than carefully studying bloody conflict during the Crusades.
Brilliantly written and solidly documented (despite some historical freedom), heavenly kingdom Never forget to watch and watch (especially for fights). After Black Hawk Down, Ridley Scott again leads Orlando Bloom as Balian, a blacksmith who defends Jerusalem against the mighty Muslim warrior Saladin. The supporting roles are not distinctive, starting with the unusual Gasson Masoud, but also Liam Neeson as a proven warrior, Edward Norton as a charismatic king (whose face, however, we will never see), without forgetting the thrilling Eva Green.
On AlloCine, heavenly kingdom Has an average viewer rating of 3.5 out of 5. His broadcast this evening on NRJ12 is an opportunity to appreciate Ridley Scott’s undoubted mastery of great epics.
