This is true.

That's the movie!!
I could hear the quote in my head in his voice but couldn't place it. One of my favorite movies too.





Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

If you haven't already, I highly recommend checking out the Director's Cut. I believe it improves the movie dramatically. It's 45 minutes longer, adding a lot more context and more fully fleshing out Balian and several other characters, while helping even out the film's pacing. Most notably, it increases the time spent on the subplot involving the Leper King and his sister, and offers important insight on why she makes the decisions she does.

(Same with Gladiator, another of Ridley Scott's historical epics, which is also noticeably improved in the Director's Cut...)
