Making a Picture or Kingdom of Heaven
So I made a picture this weekend... at least I hope I did. You never really know until you process the actual film if it all turned out. (definitely an advantage that digital has over film.) What I was filming though, was GOLD! Assuming that I can edit it all together properly it should be decent. I couldn't have done it without the help of my good buddies Lee, Jay, Dave, and Caley. Nor could I have accomplished anything without the help of Erin, Meghan, Allan, or the Perrett family. Lets hope all the work wasn't for naught!
Last night I saw "Kingdom of Heaven" and was fairly impressed. While still containing the standard epic movie cliches, it did manage to avoid the deification or demonization of any particular faith. It did a good job of making the story more about the lust for power of fundamentalists than about a clash of cultures. I especially liked the guy who played Saladin... he was perfect! Despite being too pretty, Orlando Bloom did a very good job as well, although it was odd to see such pearly whites sticking through all the grime. If you like the historical epic at all, then by all means check out "Kingdom of Heaven"... if only to wash out the horrid taste that "Troy" and "Alexander" left in your mouth.
