"I will send you my physicians." Man, I can hear the sympathy in his voice. What an actor.
You have to wonder how different a world it might have been had Baldwin been healthy and ruled over Jerusalem for 20, 30, 40+ years and not just the 11 years of his actual reign. The man spent his entire reign walking a tightrope with no harness over a nest of vipers while a disease was literally eating him alive. He defended his land, his people, and his faith until the day he died. One of history's great characters.
The thing is, we dont know how baldwin would be like if he wasnt afflicted with the condition, it probably made him who he is, and if he didn't die, saladin would have to either attack Jerusalem anyway or find a way for Muslims to accept permanent peace.
@@J040PL7year you are completely right
It was the disease that gave him such character.
The fact is saladin never win a single battle against the leper king.
Exactly. Baldwin's strength and virtues are a big lesson for all of us. He lived in such a chaotic scenario and still managed to show kindness and greatness in his actions. He was a leader like very few men have ever been and his story is just fascinating. God bless his beautiful sou 🙏❤️
I miss the early 2000's: Gladiator, LotR trilogy, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven. I love massive ancient/medieval battles. Braveheart started it.

@@ccatch_ doesn't matter
Salahudin had an army the size we cannot comprehend fighting in muslim territory for Allah in order to avenge infidel attacks on peaceful muslims. Baldwin had an army of proven knights fighting under the true cross (supposedly the same cross Jesus was crucified on) in mostly hostile territory looking to save christian men from being murdered by blasphemers. Had it been real, they all would have died. Every man would have died. Every man in that fight would have thrown themselves into the inferno, because if they had survived they would be treated as traitors and deserters and would meet a much harsher end than they could possibly think.

He did the same to Richard the Lionheart. As soon as Salahudin heard that Richard fell ill, he sent bags of fresh fruit aswell as a pile of ice to him. And when Richards Horse died, he sent him a new one. All while still being at war with him. Some people are born to be men.

@@wolfrogamer6116 Kingdom of heavens
In an open-pitch no-trickery battle christian heavy cavalry would beat muslim forces. So odds are actually with Baldwin here.
"I pray you return unharmed to Damascus or we will all die here" with this sentence alone King Baldwin implies the battle would not have a decided winner thus giving Saladin the respect he deserves as a warrior and King while also being humble at the same time. Clearly Saladin admired this and immediately agreed to his terms while showing him respect in return and offering his help with Baldwin's health... Astounding leaders from both parties.

I noticed how uptil 2:43 baldwin is suffering and doing his best to stay strong and potray himself as such by holding his head up high until the terms are made, after which he can finally let go and looks down breathing heavily in agony. This didn't go unnoticed by saladin who took pity and realised how bad his condition had become. His tone in turn becomes soft and compassionate.
Thank you for that piece of information.
Considering Baldwin rode out with the army knowing he would die, he did it just to maintain the peace, it could only be him, Saladin was happy to help him. Baldwin literally sacrificed himself to keep the peace.
What Saladin did notice was a threat and a man willing to die. Thats why he agreed to the terms.
you read in too much
@@freddymax100 no not really, Saladin would’ve won if they fought anyway, but he kept the peace because peace is the best thing in the world
I like the way Saladin said "We have terms." Not very often do we get to see a conflict being resolved so decisively and (to a certain level) amicably.
Saladin did utilise a lot of Diplomacy during his rule. Understandably alot of the conflicts during his time were resolved through war, he was one of the few who would take diplomacy if he could.
@@Saicofake he did because he knew the other side wanted to be diplomatic, unlike the previous era's of various leaders of Islam.

@@subliminalfalllenangel2108 mate all our leaders have surrendered to the west already, forget islamic glory, its gone, it will return only for a few years, then islam will disappear, its the future, and its how it always will be.
@@subliminalfalllenangel2108 The problem is that the leaders are way TOO diplomatic in the current world. Too much bureaucracy on either side leads to delayed intervention in a time of need. Take the UN for example. Countries outside of their sphere are left to fend while the voting passes (which can often go for longer than a month) and prevents any progress. Plus, in a medieval era, very little resources were allocated in the scale it is now. And even then, most of the imported resources were luxury, there was little need for goods not needed for basic survival. An embargo on the country's resources weren't too much of a threat (aside from neighboring countries, take for example the pyrrhic war where the sea was an important point in trade). In the modern world banana republic states that rely on export of maybe 1 or 2 resources as their main source of income, manpower isn't the main weapon, it's the threat of cutting out essential strategic and civilian goods. And often even in a state of diplomatic impasse, both sides won't back down, which leads to more negotiating jargon which, in turn, stagnates the situation until appropriate ammount of votes are passed through several channels (another process that slows down things). The people, hell, the entire state is left on it's own with zero command outside of their own forces, while the leaders babble away at their large gatherings while innocents and soldiers die... Next time try to sounds less like a pompous prick and read a book for once.

Such a great scene between Baldwin and Saladin. King Baldwin was a fascinating character and despite wearing a mask Nortons portrayal and his acting capturing the Kings pain and discomfort especially here is extraordinary. There are very performances that you cant take your eyes off and this is one of them.
The only flaw in the movie is that it portrays Balian as a brave knight for the sake of the movie's fun. Balian was a skilled diplomat who was fluent in many foreign languages, including Arabic and French, and maintained close relationships with the lords of the Islamic world. The reason Balian was able to enter Jerusalem in the first place was because he asked Saladin, with whom he was close, to allow him to bring his family out (Balián also participated in the Battle of the Horn of Hattin, where King Gyi was defeated). Balian was a skilled diplomat and well-versed in the political dynamics of the Middle East. When the mud wall, the weakest of Jerusalem's walls, collapsed and the city was on the verge of collapse, Balian rode a horse to meet Saladin. After meeting Saladin, Balian says, "I will destroy all Muslims in Jerusalem and all buildings considered sacred to Islam." Saladin was a person from the Kurdish minority who went to Egypt and was appointed king, and his base was too weak. He had a grand dream of becoming the monarch of a unified Islamic world, but as he lacked a foundation, he needed absolute fame to achieve his dream. Conquering Jerusalem would bring him absolute fame However, it was a different story if Balian destroyed Muslims and Islamic temples in Jerusalem. It was obvious that the forces trying to disparage him would criticize him as 'the person who attacked Jerusalem unreasonably, causing the death of Muslim brothers and the destruction of the Islamic temple.' So at first he laughed at Balian for suggesting the absurd terms of surrender, but he soon realized Balian's true intentions and eventually accepted Balian's offer. However, if they were to send them all away like this, there was a possibility that Saladin's political opponents would disparage him as 'a foolish person who let an enemy live when he could have killed them all because he was afraid of the threat of the infidels.' Therefore, Saladin implements a policy of thorough tolerance to rule out the possibility of his political opponents undermining his assets. He added a spoonful to Balian's demands and showed generosity by holding funerals for dead European knights, releasing captured enemies, and providing funds for the knights to return to their hometowns. He made it clear that he had let the Catholics go not because of Balian's threats, but because he was a tolerant monarch. In modern times, especially Muslims, talk about Saladin as if he were a symbol of Muslim tolerance. But this is very wrong Saladin assassinated all high-ranking Islamic clerics in order to gain power in Egypt. At the Battle of Hattin's Horn, 2,000 knights and soldiers captured were executed at once. Saladin was a clever leader who knew when to instill fear and when to show mercy. He dedicated his life to uniting the Islamic world in a chaotic Middle East where people hated their Islamic rivals next door more than the invading crusaders. He was never biased by emotion when making political decisions. He did it without mercy, no matter how cruel it was, and showed mercy and tolerance when necessary, no matter how much he hated it. He was a genius politician and military leader who always acted in the best interests of the country under thorough calculation.

The king showed himself to his archenemy with respect, even though he has condition that may cause him death if he travels. It shows that he treats Salahdin as his equal, and trusting him as very honorable man.

Such legends…
Watched this movie for the first last week and oh my god.. what a movie. The casting, the dialogue, the music. Just pure art. This scene specifically really got me; the entrance of Baldwin with the cross, Saladin with his huge army and the mutual respect shown between two powerful rulers with different vows and norms.

@@TsarOfRuss iirc from various sources, it is Salahuddin's policy to never harm a person that he had previously offered hospitality to. Guy de lusignan was offered ice water by Salahuddin after the battle of hattin, as such he would not harm the man. Guy afterwards gave the cup of ice water to Reynald de chatillon, which means salahuddin did not offer the water directly. As such, no hospitality was given.

Hebrews 12:29 KJV 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he. John 9:9 KJV Nevertheless my friend... we have all sinned and fell short of the Glory of God. But it is His great pleasure to make an image unto Himself, using our faults, weaknesses and shortcomings to His Glory. If we are humble, we seek him with a pure heart and in good conscience.. in spirit and in truth. And, 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:27-28 KJV And here we are. This is your time, now, what will you do with it? 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40 KJV 2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. Ecclesiastes 8:2 KJV And never forget, 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:29-31 KJV 3 Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 1:3 KJV

Anyone who has not seen the Director's cut of this film has been robbed, it's an entirely different film with loads more of explaining, it's a great cut.
Ahh I'll have to check that out thank you!
Funny thing I accidentally watched it! i have watched it two times before and the third time I am confused since I don't remember the scene with the queen sybill's son feel longer...and that's when I realized it's a director's cut and boy I agree it emphasizes more details
@@bimaginaryworld yes there is easy 30 mins extra of Balian back in France when he is mourning his wife, it shows more detail of the local politics and beliefs there. And when his father arrives.
OK, I need to re-watch this film and the director's cut version today then. Thanks
where where where..?!!!
In awe of that shot at 1:07 of the shield wall marching in front of the True Cross. The cinematography of this film was on another level.
The cross Jerusalem carried to war is so cold 😮💨😮💨
I know it probably wasn't intentional, but the different riding styles of Saladin and Baldwin are neat. Saladins is a bit more hectic, taking sharp turns. Baldwins is controlled, but also a bit stiff. One was trained to fight with horse-archers and light cavalry, the other in heavy cavalry charge attacks. Neat!
I think it also serves to show the contrast between the two’s health, with Saladin, despite being in his 50s, could ride with and maneuver with much spirit, whereas Baldwin, much much younger, takes meaningful, deliberate and careful movements due to his advanced leprosy, and the toll it has taken on his body
It also is a great metaphor for the zeal, determination and vigour both men have not just for their religious beliefs, but their capability to lead at the forefront of two worlds. Mind you, Europe still warred actively with itself whilst the Muslims were engaging with threats to the East. To bring about ANY military or diplomatic action would require no small amount of charisma. However, it is clear that the Chrisitians were living on borrowed time as is. Baldwin's death is one of those very apparent moments in history that served as a turning point for the future events.
Another thing maybe people won't notice is the fact that the director maybe wanted to show that Salahaddin horse was an Arabian, a breed of horses known to be hot tempered, fast, feisty, athletic, slender with a lot of character. Baldwin on the other hand probably was riding a Thorobreed horse or some other European breed, much quieter, but bigger and more suited to heavy cavalry action
@@leonardodavinci7983thats a great point too
Baldwin was a leper and only rode with his legs because his arms were to weak

THIS, is TRULY one of Ridley Scott's FINEST achievements. As a side note, I am surprised there hasn't been an entire modern film dedicated to Saladin. In fact, when I looked it up, THIS, and a film made in 1963 were the only ones.
Saladin really cares for Baldwin's health for several reasons. But most of them all is that he knows that Baldwin can be trusted. It is a war, but a fair one. Nothing stupid is going to be done whilst Baldwin is alive. A new King can bring unreasonable chaos and an outcome that is eventually sub optimal
theres a reason why baldwin wanted godfrey's son balien to become king in this movie instead of sybilla's current husband guy de lusignan, who wanted war with salahdin. if he had actually agreed to become king, the christians would have held onto the jeruselam for a lot longer and richard the lionheart would not have had to ride into battle and fight with salahdin for 3 yrs nonstop. idiots, the lot of them.
Good observation..

what made this scene great was that these men saw the humanity in one another as they decide whether or not to go to war. It shows you how pride and ego can lead to death and destruction, where decisions made on compassion and mutual respect can dissolve it.
I wish wars, if necessary, were conducted like this today. Leader vs leader, instead of a beurocrat sending young men to a meat grinder to back his bravado. Mutual respect. Not putting your men through anything you wouldn't put yourself through.
Benevolent rulers were and are rare. When two meet on the field of battle, It is legend.
Baldwin and Saladin were rulers of their time. They were ruthless rulers. However for their time they were indeed mild and thoughtful men. Both men respected each other. The film softens history a fair bit. The film made me look up the real histories of Saladin and Baldwin.
Think you're buying too much into the myth versus reality.
@@MorroTreece I think you're conflating historical events with dramatized dialogue and filler. There are many rulers throughout history who were hated by their own people or just simply existed to exist.. there were very few who changed the fabric of their societies for the better, with no other motive than the betterment of their own people (those tend to be the ones who are assassinated by nobility/senate members/council members). This is a story of two of these rare leaders meeting as enemies, but showing the utmost respect for their enemies (both leaders, and soldiers).
There is no such thing as benevolence in high-stakes politics. If you're benevolent, you are naive, and if you are naive, you'll get stomped by the most rudimentary tricks in the book.
When you look up their history, you find out they were highly intelligent and educated men. Masters of the Lands. And formidable in battle.
"Withdraw, or we will all die here" .. I'm deeply moved by this line. It has so much respect for each other.
@Foul Productions I think its more that any victory to be had between either army present on that field would only be had at a massive cost. A total pyrrhic victory. Saladin knew that he could just starve the Crusaders out essentially, so no point in killing 90% of your army.
@@Drax514 i think not, Salah eddine's army was way more massive and later on he will obliterate Baldwin's army and siege Jeruselum, Salah eddine was the incarnation of justice and if Baldwin agreed to punish the murderer of Salah's sister there's no more reasons to fight.
@@nagato2k633 Remember how baldwin can win battle with outnumber before? Salahuddin respect King Baldwin can manage win that war with young age. It is useless sacrifice man for nothing without any justice, thats why he can manage negotiate between him and salahuddin.
saladin was afraid of the knights on open ground the majority of his force was light cavalry the knights would tear through them like no ones Buisness but they were almost useless when ambushed
@@mrnord4096 Not quite, you forget that the Muslims had Mamluks, they were the best of the best at the time.
Despite being a Non Muslim, Non Christian & Non Jewish, I wish to visit this land which is considered as Holy Land. For centuries, many died for this small piece. Many kingdoms rose here & many died. I'll pray there for peace on those who died there. May their respective Gods lead them to heaven for giving up their lives. Hari Om.
Armies like these wouldn't be necessary if we all start treating each other with the same respect these two great leaders showed each other. Let's learn from their lessons.

"Withdrawal or we will all die here." People in the comments are missing the point. This isn't about Baldwin being a "badass MF" who came here guns blazing and staring down Salahadin. Baldwin is looking at an army leader who is indeed very good at what he does, but who is extremely furious and emotional over what Reynard has done (attacked a pilgrim caravan and killed his sister). Baldwin's "Withdrawal or we will all die here" isn't a threat. It is a reminder that Baldwin is a leader also, and that he will be forced to retaliate against him, should Salahaddin attack the city, thus causing a massive loss of human life. Which is why he gives his word that Reynard shall be punished, through justice and not vengeance. Baldwin having leprosy doesn't mean he has nothing to lose. It means he cherishes every moment of life he can afford, as well as every life that he can save. "A man in a desert treasures every drop of water."
Very intuitive and thoughtful. You should consider a career in the Intelligence community.
Thank you captain obvious
@@CaptainCaptainZach read down the comments and see if it was that obvious to the rest of the folk below.
So you wrote all that just to say "Baldwin wasn't threatening him with a proposition, Baldwin was guaranteeing everyone will die if his hand is forced." And you're weirdly heated about it too 🤷🏼♂️
@@St.Smitty Maybe I expressed myself wrongly, but I'm not angry about what I'm saying. I simply noticed a theme on the comments of "Baldwin" being this unstoppable badass with nothing to lose, and I just thought that some hadn't seen it like I did. Out of curiosity, and for future convesations, what exactly was the part of my comment that sounded aggressive?
Peace, understanding and respect between Christians and Muslims on Earth. No child of god should suffer what these men suffered on the crusades. May god be with all of us.
This scene and music choice is just pure art... what a masterpiece
To everyone who thinks that the soldiers were annoyed about having hiked across a sea of sand only to turn back after a minute long conversation that they didn't even get to participate in: They were shaking in their boots, thinking that they're going to die any moment, only to hear that nah, we're going home. They had never felt such a spike of totally unexpected euphoria in their lives, and the walk home was probably like a giggly dream -- surreal, but 100% positive.
Good way to put it, many were in high spirits and their hopes for martyrdom nearly achieved, however when it comes to battle there are always those who are indeed, scared and shaking in their boots. Battle is best when avoided
Medieval war was not the same as modern war. The conscripted peasants would probably react this way but the lord or other over zealous or vindictive individuals would've been looking forward to the battle at the beginning. It's only when people start to die and notably when they themselves are attacked do they suddenly become fearful.
@@jonathanlondon4265 yoo!!!war has not changed.."the poor fight the wars the rich dream up"
@@jonathanlondon4265 There were no conscripts in these armies, conscriptions and drafting were incredibly uncommon during the medieval period. Nearly the entirety of the soldiers you see in this scene are levied soldiers or mercenaries, eg they want to be there. In reality, they loved war, and they would be incredibly pissed that there was no battle. Ancient and medieval warfare was utterly different from modern warfare, and the soldiers fighting then loved it dearly, in general that is.
maybe the muslim soldiers were annoyed because they wanted to go to heaven

The pure respect and understanding of one another. Accepting differences and striving to learn to live together. Wish the leaders today had the same mindset and respectfulness to one another.
A ruler with everything to gain meets with a ruler with nothing to lose. In the end, a mutual respect for one another, which is why peace was so prevalent. When one changes the status quo, the other descends upon the newer force.
"Withdraw or we will all die here" is the equivalent of a finger on the nuclear weapon today. So subtle, but so deadly.
Mutual Assured Destruction
You don't know the meaning of the word subtle obviously, point blank saying "fuçk off or we all die" is the complete opposite of subtlety.

How is "we will all die" subtle?
