"Tell my lord Saladin that jerusalem has come." A line that goes through my head at least once a day.

Grand observation. 💪
@frederickb74Hollywood bullshit. Movies are waste of time.
@AndrewMartin-w7gI preferred Barbara Windsor's bra flying off in 'Carry On Camping'
@visogThe inhabitants of outremer or the Frankish kingdoms took on a lot of Arab ways including the language- much to the disgust of new arrivals from Europe. Indeed there were numerous occasions were Arab potentiates fought against rival Arab Muslims with Christian allies.
@JPCardingtonThe entire movie is about faith, and the scene just as much.
Without it Baldwin would remain in his bed, unbelieving of his purpose.
War, war, war, The cry of the most wisest fools
@deepjyotidutta8368This wasn’t the best scene in cinema and I can’t believe 7.8 million people watched thinking this was deep
@MynipplesmychoiceThis is one of the few movies that needed a Director's Cut.
@Matt-Ergon-h6tConfuse me, I thought the enemy the one in the black was a Muslim. You said that he was not I’m confused.
@Jino-qh2The pen is mightier than the sword :)
@thefatlosscode365It's also one of the scenes i admire a lot, including the scene where they take over Jerusalem and he picked up the Cross with respect and put it on the table. Those scenes communicate layers of insights that many miss. There is another thing, while it may be implied with respect, it's actually respect, humility and communication. Once can say humility is communicated, but i think calling it out emphasizes it as something that must be a common denominator to both respect and communication. Without humility in respect, communication breaks down. Without humility in communication, respect is a facade. In this scene, both have deep respect and use deep communication to portray humility - a reverence to the other. Recall he said -- we will all die here. That's becuase he knows that he is a graet warrior, and that both sides are actually equall.
@eaojnrNot including the part Jerusalem has arrived is a miss.
@NocturnalpainterIt's so sad that our leaders are cowards and fools
@comire01To stop a war Baldwin also gives his life knowing he will not survive long after this journey. In reality he must have relished the challenge but acknowledged the reality . Great scene if shivalry
@superiorbluereverseosmosis236When The leaders were strong ,honest and humanly!
@metsadi9668there should be a movie on The Battle of Montgisard
@mosesliao1932King balvins religion is Catholic. King balvin provided crusaders to protect Christian civilians so they aren't Christians. Christians don't believe in kings in castle. they only believe Jesus is king.
@MetalsForBrunchI like your perspective, and the scene is powerful. But, unfortunately, all wars of recent few centuries have been created, facilitated, and managed not by the generals and those who fought, but by bankers, cartels, those who own the corporations and politicians of every country. Respect and communication do not work with the evil.
@aranlee7171they never met
@SuperRob1952It's not that deep or great bro but I get you gotta make content or w/e
@petermartin7885Bingo
@DaveSchultzXXLYou folks probably didn't heard of Saladin's nephew Al-Kamil, sultan of Egypt, who exemplified the Islamic laws of war.
@augustlandmesser1520lol gay
@Mike-rb2kkThe whole scene begins with the armies of Jerusalem appearing out of the haze.
@Lenny-x3bOne of the reasons put forward for the earlier victories of the crusaders was that they believed they had found part of the true cross and this was taken into battle with themand so inspired them. Of course it's rubbish, as the cross was a con, and their victories can be put down to other reasons, but it still remains a great explanation.
@colinstafford7846I pray we get leaders like this, going forth and in our present time.
@Caez-2025not quite. strong statement. good movie tho.
@saltybrixI wanna see the king of American fight the king of Iran in a fist fight. That settles who wins. 😂
@assessmenttreatment8445Saladin? You mean Big Boss?
@agtjamesb007do we really need this dumb narration?
@srgmpeI disagree. I believe that Charlie Chaplin is responsible for the best scene in all of cinema.
In the “Great Dictator” ( 1940 ) Chaplin delivers a monologue that is simply sublime and timeless. And he gives the speech while WWII is going on, while he’s looking like Hitler.
The monologue is fantastic and it’s about the opposition to war. That short speech is powerful and is especially relevant today.
And the best part is that Charlie was not reading the words written by someone else. Charlie wrote the script and was granted full creative control in the making of the movie.
I highly suggest that you give the movie a try.

@MiscsDiversityWhat language did they speak together?? It is all fake.
@JohnMichael-b6lIf Trump could only show Respect and Communicate in such a manner as this.
@phillipalben7458All time hell no..layer cake facts of life is the greatest scene ever.
@isam6864It's only a movie in real life men readied into/ UNTO BATTLE IT WAS OUR CALLING. OUR DUTY. OUR DESTINY. MAKE NO MISTAKE .
@kevinsnyder8448you kind of missed that the wind is blowing in impossible directions.
@floppyzedolfinLies. Everything about this entire film is historical propaganda.
The Muslims were much much worse, and the Crusaders were much better.
This is the definition of revisionist history.
💐💐💐One historical fact that is often overlooked: Saladin's personal physician was the Jewish scholar and doctor Moses Maimonides. ✡️📚
This shows that under the Muslim ruler Saladin, Jews could attain some of the highest positions based on their knowledge and abilities. 🤝🏛️ At a time when many Jewish communities faced persecution in parts of Europe, they were able to serve with honor and distinction in the Islamic world. History is more complex than many people realize. 📖🌍

@patriciacarrerasj8315"whoever does not gathers with Me scatters". Nothing is happening without God's will. Human genom is 3 billion sequences. If one should do nothing else but counting, will finish counting 3 billion in 100 years. This is how small the human mind is, only the pride is big.
@MyVictor73This is exactly how Donald Trump is acting!
@Mustafa_Basaran"Tell my lord Saladin, Jerusalem Comes" ii likee thatt
@blackmatca6277This is what happens when leaders actually fight a war. Not thousands of kilometers behind a screen while their soldiers fight and die in the frontlines.
@lemongrape1108I can watch the movie many times. Great! leaders preventing a war! No ego! Just great learders! A vivid illustration of honor and respect!
