i just watched the movie yest with ly. i'm not a huge fan of orlando bloom (i prefer aragorn compared to legolas) nor am i a fanatic christian. and i do have my reservations about the crusade. with all that, i watched the movie with not much expectations and well, i was just trying to enjoy the movie. i do like these 'epic' movies.
so how was the movie? i actually find it pretty good and mainly because for me, it has a deeper value than just a movie. wat the movie portrayed was so true... wat is jerusalem anyway? after all the bloodshed, can it remain a holy land? do god really want us to slaughter each other under his holy name?
come to think of it, the situation hasn't changed much these days. the only difference - swords are replaced with guns and technology has made all the killings easier and with greater impact. and they say history lessons are for us to learn our past mistakes so that we do not repeat those mistakes.
i would like to continue blogging about my opinion on this matter but there's something telling me i shouldn't. after what happen to a close friend of mine, i decided that the 'freedom of speech' crap is just that - crap. and i wouldn't challenge that although i want to. see, this is what you should do with history lessons... LEARN...
