Kingdom of Heaven

As I see most of Arab nation liked the Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven movie mainly because it shows Saladin as a good man who safe Jerusalim from the bad crusades. See this opinion clear on: (http://lost76.blogspot.com/2005/05/kingdom-of-heaven.html).

For me, I see this movie from another angle. I don't see it as historical documentary movie however it's a story about a man who lose his faith (the blacksmith Balian - Orlando Bloom) due to the wrong behavior of the church priest. He decide to kill him as a sign of a revolution of the wrong beleived and escape away in a journey to the place where everybody thought it's the heaven on earth. In his journey, he discovered a new beliefs and a new concepts. There are good and evildoers in every nation and in every believe.

So what is the movie really about?
Is is about a man who had lost all hope and manages to find himself on a spiritual mission?
Is it about Muslims and Christians able to live in peace after all, in light of recent events?
What is it about?

The themes switch back and forth. Between historical storyline, battles between crusades and Muslims, Balian is searching for his soul through answers for his fideism questions.
