Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
It is the time of the Crusades
during the Middle Ages - the world shaping 200-year collision
between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has lost
his family and nearly his faith. The religious wars raging in the
far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that
immense drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval
Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately
uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against
staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a
great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France
from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father,
Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on
a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem
at that moment--between the Second and Third Crusades--a fragile
peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian
king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the military
restraint of the legendary Muslim leader Saladin. But Baldwin's
days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy
among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's
vision of peace--a kingdom of heaven--is shared by a handful of
knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear to uphold it with
their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword to his son, he
also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the helpless,
safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions and
cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth.
Balian takes the sword and steps into history.

The tumultuous political landscape
of Paris in 1968 serves as the backdrop for a tale about three

and sister duo, named Theo and Isabelle, who share a common love
of the cinema. While the May 1968 Paris student riots--which
eventually shut down most of the French government--are happening
around them, the three friends develop a relationship unlike
anything Matthew has ever experienced, or will ever encounter
again.
