We learned that the crusades affected all three religions that have ties to Jerusalem, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. We watched Kingdom of Heaven, a historical fiction movie based on the crusades. The time of the story that we see is based between the second and third crusade. Although the movie had many historically correct parts

movie content contains truth of that period as well as fiction. The movie follows Balian of Ibelin and his journey from being a blacksmith to defender of Jerusalem. Although the movie has manipulated some of the real events to appeal to a broader audience, make it more Hollywood like, it does a decent job in portraying the battle over Jerusalem and some of the circumstances around it. The church played a significant role during the middle ages. In fact, the church reached the height of its power

Compare and Contrast: The Fall of Jerusalem and Kingdom of Heaven The fall of Jerusalem was depicted in the movie, Kingdom of Heaven. When director Ridley Scott released this Crusade film in 2005, the film provoked widespread controversy from historians and disdain from film critics. People were either offended by the misrepresentation of the historical facts or of the movie’s view of Christians. Nonetheless, there were people who praised the movie and thought it was spectacular.
