[Alouette]

All the reviews that I have read of this film describes how the Muslims and the Christians are portrayed. How does the film portray Jews? Or are there no Jewish characters in the film?

For some reason, I wasn't anticipating the revisionist history of Islam as much as I was expecting the film to pretend the Crusaders were swell guys and ignore the part about slaughtering the Jews. As Barbara Tuchman said in "Bible and Sword": "By the time of the Third Crusade in 1190 the association of Crusade and pogrom was automatic, and the killings began immediately on Richard's coronation, though not at his order."

Because I like Orlando Bloom and loved "Gladiator" I was hoping this film would work out somehow. Too bad.
