[Steppes] Kingdom of Heaven

[Chiara]

It was a great demo and movie. :)

For Parents that want to know if they can take their kids I would have to 
say no. Other parents opinions may differ significantly.

I know that mine, 9-7-3, are too young to go to this. A 16 year old could 
handle it so long as a parent has already talked to them about what to 
expect to see at this movie.

The demo was so worth doing. I got to talk to several young ladies shocked 
that girls fight as well. Directed them to the website and brochure. I think 
we only had one lady almost walk through the fighters but it was cause she 
was looking at the stuff on the table as she walked by and veered toward the 
table fascinated by what was there. :)

Others can talk about what they encountered at the demo. I saw everyone 
talking to someone 99% of the time we were out there. Good job everyone!! :)

: Xene here:
:
: We didn't make it to the demo tonight, but we were able to see the movie 
at
: our new theater in Cedar Hill.
:
: Awesome. I did want to stand up and explain to the audience *why* a knight
: received the buffet in the knighting ceremony - it annoyed me that they
: laughed and thought it was a joke.
:
: We wished they would have mentioned the Hospitallers - the Knights of St.
: John - and described the difference between the Templars and the
: Hospitallers.
:
: Good things - reference to the Italian sword masters, but Llywelyn thought
: it came from Fiori - published way after the Crusades.
:
: Llywelyn wanted to explain to the director why a blacksmith hits an anvil. 
I
: wanted to explain to the princess (who looked a lot like Colete) that 
there
: are spies everywhere. The director didn't explain the Sinead O'Connor look
: on the princess - was she trying to hide, or was she going crazy, or just
: mourning the death of the people and planning to take vows and enter a
: convent? No telling.
:
: The end was kind of bland.  But the armor of Saladin was to *die* for. The
: siege engines, the double recurve bows for the army of Saladin, the
: balistas, and the large-scale armies were way cool.
: Some of the music sounded like the Cantigas, but much of it was hollywood
: modern or Bach.  It didn't quite fit.
: I loved the linen tunics, the wool surcoats, and the silk veils. Yummm.
:
: Still, one that we want for our DVD collection.
:
: We would love to go see this with Da'ud and Mahdi.
:
: Check it out.
