The 2005 Kingdom of Heaven movie really did Guy and Sibylla dirty. I’m fairly sure the history was especially distorted because the writer and director were atheists and clung too tightly to a “religious tolerance is ideal” message, even at the expense of accurately portraying the actions of the actual historical figures.

I don’t think the director is an atheist. I think he has his own weird religion.
You’re right, they should have made it more clear the crusaders were all evil and deserved worse.
Guy was exiled to Outremer in the first place for trying to kidnap Eleanor of Aquitaine btw.
I see what you mean but I will always love that movie (the directors cut) for many reasons, one being its portrayal of philosophy.
