a5c7b9f00b Arn, the son of a high-ranking Swedish nobleman is educated in a monastery and sent to the Holy Land as a knight templar to do penance for a forbidden love. The film starts off with a kind of irritating and a bit ridiculous narrator voice that tells us about Arn and his upbringing, but after a while it goes away (luckally) :) To my surprise the movie was really cool and interesting and exciting to watch. I was literally on my toes throughout the whole movie. Another thing to complain about was Arn's time in Jerusalem, it was almost a remake of Orlando Blooms characters time there in "Kingdom of heaven". Defiantly worth watching and I am not surprised if this flick reaches out internationally. This is a must see for all of those who loved "Braveheart" and "Kingdom of heaven" etc etc. I actually put this in to my Netflix Instant Queue and then avoided it like so many others that I told myself I would get around to. After a few days I figured I would give it a shot. The movie had wonderful acting and the camera work was beautiful! I watched the American version and have since read that the American version is a combination of two movies that are almost twice as long. I will be spending my weekend looking for a copy of both movies to purchase and the American version as well. I will also be looking for the books. I have read that there is now a fourth book so I cant wait to find all of these so I can relive in over and over. Wonderful movie, stellar cast and beautifully shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I hope you find this helpful in your next movie selection.
