Cringey and irrelevant speech by Balian


Before Saladin attacks, he gives this wannabe-heroic Hollywooden speech about knights and what it means to be one. (Even though a commoner cannot knight people.)

The priest says something like, do you think that makes them better fighters?

(Dramatic music and fast zoom at Balian)...YESSS! Cue hard stares at crestfallen priest...

Fuckin' awful playschool drama class stuff.

One of the best parts of the movie.

And Balian was no commoner, he was the Baron of Ibelin. He could knight anyone he chose.

An unlikely and cheesy scene badly done. As was most of this pointless movie.
