Kingdom of Heaven
I am seriously considering on writing the final project on Kingdom of Heaven. The film is set during the Crusades in Jerusalem. The main character is a blacksmith named Bailin, played by Orlando Bloom, travels to the Holy Land, and ends up leading the citizens of Jerusalem to defend themselves against Saladdin and his army. Throughout the movie, Bailin finds his father Godfrey a knight who has fought in previous Holy Wars. His father teaches his son what it means to be a knight and a leader. The final battle is very similar to that of the battle for Minis Tirith in the Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. I think this is a great movie, for its genre, history, formalism, and idealogy of the Middle Ages.

I love this movie...but I being from the Middle East must say that there was some misenterpretation on Saladeen's part in the film.
the tag for Orlando Bloom is wrong
"The main character is a blacksmith named Bailin, played by Orlando Bloom, travels to the Holy Land, and ends up leading the citizens of Jerusalem to defend themselves against Saladdin and his army."
I think it should be Orlando Bloom, "who" travels to the Holy Land.
Misspelled Bloom...
