Ridley Scott talks Kingdom of Heaven

Yesterday's Sunday Times has an illuminating feature interview with Ridley Scott regarding Kingdom of Heaven (a film the Times calls "sensational").

"I am trying to get across the fact that not everyone in the West is a good guy, and not all Muslims are bad. The tragedy is that we still have a lack of understanding between us, and it is 900 years since the crusades. We have never truly resolved our differences."

Kingdom of Heaven opens May 6, and is one of my Top Ten Must-See Films of 2005. (You can view the trailers here.)
