Chapter 1301 Jerusalem turned upside down
Long live the director Chapter 1301 The sky-turning Jerusalem asks for monthly tickets, please!
When the filming of the Celestial Kingdom was in the second half, all the crew were deeply attracted by the content of the movie itself. Many actors who had no idea about this movie, especially those extras who had no idea about it, were completely moved by this magnificent story.
When war dramas are filmed one after another, when the flags of gold and iron horses are flying outside Jerusalem City, when the desolate horns are far away, everything does not need to be expressed in words at all. In most cases, you need to stand in that place and you can fully feel that unique atmosphere.
Before, I thought so. This movie might be just my personal interest. Others just came to help me complete such a work. But in the end, this idea was completely broken. The movie became something that everyone urgently needed deep in their hearts.
In such an atmosphere, the crew's work progressed very smoothly. If it continues at this speed, although there are so many scenes in this movie, it will definitely be completed in advance by the end of the year.
By mid-November, my play was finally played. The great Baldwin IV.24. The decayed body could not carry his dreams anymore. This great king was born in helplessness. He protected this country and the Celestial Kingdom. In the end, he did not end with such an ending.
After the death of Devin IV, the soul of the Kingdom of Jerusalem was gone. The unstable factors lurking in the kingdom when Baldwin was alive finally broke out in full swing. The warlike and stupid lords raised their butchers to the Muslims one after another. Saladin, who knew that the king of Jerusalem was dead, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The death of this old enemy finally made Saladin wait for such an excellent moment of victory. Under the leadership of Saladin, the Muslim army swept over again. He used the stupid lords of the Kingdom of Jerusalem to lure the crusaders and encircle them and annihilate them. The Jerusalem army was completely destroyed.
Next, Saladin, the great kingdom of Jerusalem, was destroyed. It was like entering a no-man's land and easily appeared under the cold city of Jerusalem. This city that made him dream of was never as easy as it is now.
At this moment, Jerusalem, there are no regular army, some are just ordinary people. Badian must combine these peasant blacksmiths and even beg for their own lives and their own freedom.
At this time, the last part of the movie finally arrived. The Siege of Jerusalem was the climax of the entire movie and an important part of the entire movie.
The drama "Century Kingdom" is divided into two parts. Part of it was led by Resong and Stiller in the city of Jerusalem. The shooting in this aspect is often detailed shots, while the other part is led by me, Griffith and Antonioni. It is shot in that huge city built like Jerusalem.
What we photographed was a complete and tragic siege. The whole city was completely changed inside and outside. The stone carts were set off, and the city carts broke through the city... All kinds of weapons and equipment were coming one after another. Shouts were shouting and killing were coming. Fire attacks were everywhere. There were tragic things everywhere. Houses were burning. People were shouting. Knife was jingling and the neighing of war horses.
This land seemed to have returned thousands of years in an instant, and returned to the turbulent years of the past. Those ancient souls seemed to have all been resurrected at this moment.
Shooting such a scene is a great pleasure. When you sit behind the camera, what you see is not such a huge scene. It seems that you have met history in an instant and visited you so realistically.
This feeling is obviously indescribable. What you can feel is a huge sense of happiness.
It is very difficult to shoot in the siege battle. First of all, it is difficult to grasp the big scenes, especially the magnificent scenes during the siege. It is definitely not an easy thing to shoot them in a striking and realistic way. Fortunately, we have a lot of experience in this regard. Griffith and I basically took the lead at this time. Griffith was responsible for shooting the Saladin Army. My shooting was Jerusalem, and Antonioni, the crusade inside, was under the overall control.
This division of labor was decided by a group of people after very detailed discussions. It is basically the best allocation plan.
The war scenes were filmed for a week day and night. This week was simply indescribable. Whether it was a celebrity or an ordinary extra, the crew lived a prison-like life.
In more than a week, everyone was basically eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on the shooting site. So many people were all wearing thick armor. They stood up to shoot when they were filming. When they were free, they lay down and went to sleep. Often they would get screamed after sleeping for a while.
Everything you eat is the real thing. It’s very simple. There are not many tricks. When you eat, you continue filming. Many people prepare for it by eating.
People forget the day and the night. Anyway, they are just twenty-four days
|Stop shooting, standby at any time. During a week, no one washes his face, no one changes his clothes. So many people seem to be crawling out of the garbage dump. Their faces are extremely dirty. They are often mixed with all kinds of things, blood, oil, and so on. They are all terrible.
But the more this happens, the more it looks particularly real in the lens. I am very satisfied with their performance. And sometimes, I sit behind the camera and look at the people in the camera. I often feel inexplicably moved.
When shooting movies, you rely on such unprecedented perseverance and dedication. You need to burn yourself like a candle and emit light.
The main part of the scenes of the siege of Jerusalem were filmed in more than a week. Such huge scenes and so many shots were filmed in such a short time. Not to mention in Hollywood, it is unique in the film industry all over the world!
And in the later stage of the shooting, when the siege of Jerusalem was completed, our shooting encountered unprecedented difficulties.
At the end of the movie, Baan defended Jerusalem and severely damaged the Muslim army led by Saladin, but the power gap between the two sides was too great. Badian could not defeat Saladin and protect the city of Jesus. What he could do was to severely damage Saladin's Muslim army and Saladin's condition was that Baan gave the city of Jerusalem to Saladin. But Saladin must ensure the safety of the lives of everyone in the city of Jealem and their freedom.
Saladin agreed to such a condition that his ultimate goal was the city of Jerusalem.
So. The end of the movie. The Kingdom of Jerusalem was destroyed. The Muslim army drove into Jerusalem.
After entering the city of Jerusalem, after entering this city called holy by Muslims, the first thing Muslims have to do is obviously to include this holy city under their own rule. Because Jerusalem's position in Islam is very important, so after Muslims took back the holy city that had been lost for almost hundreds of years from the Crusaders, they naturally made heavy arrangements.
All the signs of the former Christianity of Jerusalem were changed. The cross above the church was taken down. Instead, the flags of the Crescent Crusaders of Muslims and various curtains were lowered and raised to represent the crescent flags of Muslims.
The whole of Jerusalem. From a Christian country to a Muslim-ruled area.
This is the end of the movie. Of course. As a movie, the ending shows that it is not that both sides are defeated. It is that both sides are amazing heroes. The reason why they become enemies is just because they have different opinions. In the end, both sides have reached a high level of spiritual integration. Whether it is Christianity or Islam, they are completely mutually understanding.
This is also the idea I want to express: both sides are protecting their inner ideals. Both sides are heroes.
This is a story about spiritual protection. It is also the ultimate meaning of this movie.
So, from this perspective, the end of the whole movie is very small in terms of length, and although it is incomparable to the previous war scenes, it is crucial in terms of importance, especially in terms of revealing the theme of the movie. It can be said that the entire movie of "The Kingdom of Heaven" has been filmed in the first place and so much content has been shown in the first place. It is all for the final ending. After accumulating so much things in the first place, the theme of the film has been completely natural and the best performance.
In this sense, the last part is very important for the movie. To a large extent, it directly concerns the artistic level of the entire movie. Whether "The Kingdom of Heaven" can be successful, whether it can be perfect, whether it can infect all audiences, and whether it can achieve the specific effect we had previously imagined. To a large extent, it depends on the best, how the scene is shot. If it is well filmed, then the whole movie will be completely alive and will be completely successful. It will surely become a classic.
But if the filming is very ordinary, or it cannot perfectly express the theme at all but simply mechanically, then the artistic charm of the whole movie will be greatly reduced. Our previous hard work will also be greatly reduced. This requires our crew to perfectly display the set scenes, showing the conflict between the two religions after Mulin entered Jerusalem and the process of reconciliation in thoughts.
This process is very difficult to shoot. And for me, it is definitely better than shooting war scenes. It may be the hardest part of the whole movie.
It was precisely such a situation that finally caused problems in all aspects to break out.
In 133, Jerusalem was basically a not very peaceful place. Because there was no real government, the land was basically occupied after the war. At this time, the city of Jerusalem was basically divided by various forces. Compared with the big cities in the world, the city of Jerusalem is obviously small. But inside this small city, it is like
It is also divided into squares and different areas. It is not. The situation of intertwining canine teeth is very complicated.
Although we have held coordination meetings again and again on the problems that this movie may encounter during the filming. In terms of coordination, whether it is a Utopia or an Arab, as long as it is a person with actual control in Jerusalem, we have been invited.
At such an unprecedented conference, these people finally gradually agreed to the opinion of the crew of "Celestial Kingdom" which is not their identity or their beliefs. When shooting this movie, they must fully cooperate with the crew's shooting work and provide as much help as possible.
In the end, such a conclusion was passed in the hands of other powerful people, so in the end, the originally complex forces in Lusalem unexpectedly reached a common promise in the face of such a movie.
During the filming of "Celestial Kingdom", this promise was completely fulfilled. During the filming, all forces cooperated with all their efforts to do relevant support and contributed to the smooth progress of the film. I am very grateful to them and very grateful. I have expressed my gratitude to these people more than once.
But this time, the Jerusalem parties, who had already made promises, had problems at the end of this electricity when the electricity was about to end.
The reason for the problem is entirely because of the end of this movie. As for this end, I felt like this way of dealing with it when I was writing the script. Finally, I encountered trouble when I was in Jerusalem. But I felt that there should be no major problems at that time. But now it seems that this problem is obviously very serious.
The city of Jerusalem has formed a situation where all forces develop independently - one party owns a certain area. This makes the city very interesting. Especially when you stand at the highest point of the city of Jerusalem, you can understand how complex and interesting the situation of the city is.
You will see a tall cross erecting in a square area. But right next to this area, there is a beautiful round top. And in the distance, there is a cross...
It can be said that the city is completely intertwined and arranged. Christians, Jews and Muslims live together in a scattered manner. The community they live in is completely unique. There is a complete set of their own rules of life in the community. Especially religious beliefs. Within the scope of the community, it is completely their own spiritual kingdom. And in their opinion, this spiritual kingdom is sacred and inviolable.
But the ending of "The Kingdom of Heaven" is something that many people are unwilling to accept.
It’s not that they can’t accept the idea of religious reconciliation included in the final movie. It’s that they can’t accept the scenes arranged in this book.
According to the contents of the script, after Jerusalem fell, the Muslim army marched straight into the government. In addition to the military government, we must reconquer this lost in faith.
At the end of the movie, the Christian cross will be removed, including various cross signs. The ones appearing over Jerusalem will be the densely packed crescent moon signs of Muslims.
Such an arrangement will inevitably require the final unity between different cultural areas within the city of Jerusalem. It also requires that the Christian and Judaistic communities within the city of Jerusalem must replace the cross above their church with the crescent sign and replace the relevant flags.
Such a request immediately aroused great opposition from those Christian Judaism communities.
For them, they have no problem in contributing to this movie. Let them support each other and have no problem. But they are not very willing to agree to such a request, because it reaches their own beliefs.
Remove the cross from your church and create new Muslims. Such behaviors are intolerable for both Christians and Judaism.
Because whether it is a Christian or a Jewish believer, they obey the Ten Commandments of Moses. The first and most important ones are to believe in only one God and not to establish gods who worship other religions.
To put it bluntly, it is the system of one god.
Such a precept, the basis of the entire Ten Commandments, is also regarded as the most important precept. Now if they follow the arrangements of our crew to make such actions, in their opinion, it is almost like giving up their own beliefs. It is unacceptable.
So, when the news spread, but after the content of the script group was spread, Jerusalem was suddenly in a state of chaos.
