DVD Review: “Kingdom of Heaven” is probably about as good a movie as anyone could make about the Crusades. Balian, a village blacksmith in France, discovers he is the illegitimate son of Sir Godfrey. Godfrey is a knight returning from the Middle East, who paints Jerusalem not in terms of a holy war but in terms of its opportunities for an ambitious young man. Godfrey promises that, “There at the end of the world you are not what you were born but what you have it in yourself to be.” For Balian, Jerusalem confronts him with uncomfortable decisions, in which there is no clear-cut moral choice. Death is the consequence of every course of action.
