It’s a shame Edward Norton did not receive an award for this. His acting as King Baldwin was Oscar worthy.

[nickd]

Fun fact: Edward Norton played King Baldwin in this mask throughout the movie. He was not in the original cut so much, the directors cut has all his scenes back in.

[dubstep]

1:40 he was right about the time he had left. King Baldwin would only live to be 24 years old. Despite his affliction, he is still considered to be one of the greatest kings of his time. He is a perfect example of the phrase "it's not the body that makes the man, but the spirit"

[ChefLuisFayad]

"Remember that howsoever you are played, or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone. Even those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus, ' or that 'virtue was not convenient at the time.' This will not suffice."

I'm not a religious man but these are some pretty powerful words of self-accountability. There will always be those more powerful than you and sometimes those people in authority may ask or flat out tell you to do something you know to be wrong. "I was just following orders" is never a defense.

[lucyhenery]

The intelligence of King Baldwin is extremely great. He ofcoarse being very young.

[calebmantle]

King Baldwin, even more than Job maybe, was the embodiment of "The Lord has given, and the Lord has taken away, blessed be the name of the the Lord." He didn't care what he had or what he had left, he cared only about what he must do.

[johnlungo]

Such eloquence and tension all at the same time!

[jaykayhooray]

You can see Balian hanging on every word the King said, it was a moment never to forget but also youd be so nervous that you might not match his intellect

[Crabchann]

“When I was 16 I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be 100. Now I know I shall not see 30. None of us know our end really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, that man can also move himself and only then is that man truly begin his own game. Remember howsoever you are played or by whom your soul is in your keeping alone, even those who presume to be kings or men of power. When you stand before god you cannot say, that I was told by others to do thus; or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that.”

[taylorallgood]

"Not only because it is expedient, but because it is right." That's a good one to remember.

[jerykomontanez]

I never knew it was Edward Norton until I read these messages. Now I can hear his voice.

[brandocalrissian]

Being behind a mask definitely helped him go all out for this. Fantastic performance.

[ChanceCalamity]

These 3 minutes give so much knowledge as well as insight to his way of thinking. Masterful

[lorrietsaoussis]

I felt so bad for king baldwin he never found love or had children of his own think he would of been an amazing husband and father

[DaveXYZ]

"Protect the helpless. And then maybe one day, when i´am helpless, you will come and protect me." - Words Humanity should live by.

[SteveMassey]

One of the best scenes in all of film.

[kaycey]

King Baldwin of Jerusalem was exceptionally educated and learned philosopher. Wven for king of that era, he was overqualified compared to framcs and german kings.

[rlonzoraddison]

The grace, and impact of King Baldwin conversation is unforgettable.

[peterobrien]

To compare life to a game of chess. Thats very meaningful.

[planes]

When Baldwin said that "you have no excuse about what you do in life when you stand before God that hit me hard, its so true."
