Inaccuracies In Kingdom Of Heaven

951 Words4 Pages

In the movie Kingdom of Heaven, there were many inaccuracies throughout the film. Although the movie did follow the lines of the Second Crusade, things throughout the film turned out to be fictional. Some of these inaccuracies are how the love interests played out between Balian and Sibylla, those are not correct for the actual Crusades. Another inaccuracy is how people lived longer than they were supposed to after being wounded. Adding on to how people were wounded, they had medicine in the movie that they did not actually have back then. One of the last inaccuracies I saw in the movie, is the weapons they used, some of them were not created yet at this time. In the movie, there are many fighting scenes, with many different weapons used and not all of those weapons had been created yet.
During the Kingdom of Heaven, there was a love interest that played a big part in the movie. It was the relationship between Balian and Sibylla, which in real life was not true. In real life, they would not of been together because of standards, and …show more content…

There were some portions of the movie that had never happened, but this movie helped me understand the Second Crusade better than I did before. Even with the inaccuracies in the movie, I feel like it portrayed what really happened very well. The love story may not have been real, there was a love story between Sibylla and another character in real life. The injuries that were shown in the movie may not have been realistic, but it helped add to the movie about what was going on with the fighting. The cures for injuries may not have been real, or helped but it helped show what they did have at that time in the Middle Ages. Lastly, the weapons that were used in the movie may not have been created back then, but it helped show the battles that they did have, with the weapons that had been made at that time in the Second

    The story wasn’t told the greatest ever, but it had its strong parts and its weak parts. The director gives scenes like Ender fighting with the other kid and the training games all the kids go through as excitement to keep your attention during the movie. The director changed some big things in the movie. He completely took out some of the games that were played in the book to train them for the war with the space buggers. I think this takes away from the movie quite a bit because they could have made it even more interesting and exciting if they would have put more of these scenes in the movie.

    A more fact based inaccuracy was the cannonballs. Cannonballs in that time period did not blow up, they simply "mowed" through rows of enemies. Also the French helped much more than the movie shows. They stopped the British from sending fresh troops and supplies to America. The most inaccurate thing in it is when Mel Gibson and his two 10 year old sons wipe out about 25 redcoats without suffering a single scratch.

    The word “critical” often conjures the incorrect image of negativity. If the Four Gospels are to be analysed critically would this study find loopholes only? This need not be the case, as the Four Gospels, and the Bible as a whole, has withstood the test of time. As a stand-alone text, the Bible has proven its accuracy in its portrayal of events, its authorship, and its date of writing. Though scholars have tried to use both textual and literary criticism to discredit the Four Gospels, there are an equal number of scholars, using these same tools, who have proved that the Four Gospels have an accurate portrayal of events.
