The filmmaker Ridley Scott in his film the Kingdom of Heavens introduced a historical drama. This movie is considered as a Crusade epic. The film saw a lot of criticism and mockery from historians and the critics. The filmmaker portrayed Crusaders in the 12th century and the filming was done in Morocco. The film actually is a fictional version of the life of Balian of Ibelin (ca. 1143-93). The aim of the filmmaker here is to highlight the Crusaders in that time through the character of Balian. He was a blacksmith who travels to Jerusalem, where religious wars were at peak (Scott, 2005). The movie depicts his transformation into a warrior who comes forward to defend the people of Jerusalem. The movie portrays a common man’s adventure in the wars. He became the warrior in a new land for new people. The place and the people, both were strange for him. The movie further portrays the forbidden love of a common man with a queen that later becomes a knight.
