Kingdom of Heaven

I’m slowly getting back to my routine, it’s really great to finally get some rest.

We watched Kingdom of Heaven the other night – I liked it. I don’t know if having just been to Jerusalem had anything to do with it. I definitely appreciated the geography in the movie and trying to compare it to what we saw during the pilgrimage.

THe story was not bad too. Simple and tells a story mostly fiction I guess. But nonetheless I appreciated that the Muslims were portrayed as the more decent people. Fiction or not, the movie at least reminded me not to generalize a whole belief system simply because I disagree with them. I guess it all boils down to “time” and “situation.”

I also liked how the movie reminds people that Religion, which teaches love, peace and justice – is also one of the leading causes of death to date hehehe. How’s that for an irony?

Is it just me, or does Orlando Bloom have only one facial expression?
