Kingdom of Heaven

Went to watch Kingdom of Heaven last night... My boyfriend keeps thinking that I want to watch Orlando Bloom but the answer is no. I like Orlando Bloom as Legolas the elf in LOTR because he had blond hair, blue eyes and pointy ears. So perhaps I just like Legolas not Orlando Bloom. Haha... Anyway, the show was about the crusades set in the 12th century. The Holy Land had been seized and people from Europe went there in search for a better life or for redemption. Many of the crusaders in the show kept saying that "God wills it", if "God wills it" they will fight, they will kill... But at the end of it, you realised that many of them are fighting for their own honour, their own glory, their own greed. It was never out of a cause for God, it was for their own personal glory. Because they wanted glory, they wage war with disregard to the lives of the common folk. All these were done in the name of religion, in the name of God. Orlando Bloom acted as Balian, towards the latter half of the show, he took on the responsibility to defend the Holy City. Although he surrendered Jerusalem, he did mentioned that the kingdom was in the head and in the heart. Somehow, I feel that this is quite true. Things don't die when they die physically, they die when it is no longer in your heart and mind. In our walk with God, we cannot see God physically but we can feel Him. We cannot see His kingdom physically but His kingdom should be in our hearts and minds and with our spiritual eyes we can see it...
