Becoming a Knight

I made this because maybe there are people out there who either havent seen Kingdom of Heaven or are unable to. It's a good movie and this scene affected me the most.

Thank You GhostWolf130 for being honest, noble and transparent by sharing your own impression online. It is necessary for more men to have the courage to express their heart and souls on line. Men help other men to step up to their higher potentials when we speak truthfulIy and from the heart. I too was touched by this as it also touched my core. It is one of the references I use with many of my clients, frlends and associates to remind them of their existing and/or potential nobility.

Thanks man, and I just gotta say that this was the best comment I have ever recieved.

Does anybody know how extended was the tradition of slapping the becoming knight? Was it really practiced? Something weird happen while I was watching the movie, suddenly, before the scene, I remembered as if i had been slapped in the same situation in an other life, knowing that the pain in my face lasted all my life, and then I got to watch the scene, and I was completly shocked.

And that is EXACTLY what I hope this video will teach others, which is why i put it up. ^^

not mindlessly insulting you bro.......but sence this is one of two videos on youtube partaining to this lil speech.....its a shame ya spoiled it with your personal accounts instead of just letting people watch it & find there own meaning.....you should redo the video with better audio quality...without the "you" in it...

Its wonderful that this touched you so. Films, like anything, can change us, make us better. Never forget what you believe in, most importantly, never let the world change you. We can make the world a better place, but only together.

Ghostwolf - as a man who considers himself a modern day Knight, I also happen to admire this scene. I gladly follow the virtues of chivalry every day.

@Malagard, This is what Wikipedia has to say under 'Accolade' - "There is some disagreement amongst historians on the actual ceremony and in what time period certain methods could have been used. It could have been an embrace or a slight blow on the neck or cheek. In knighting his son Henry, with the ceremony of the accolade, history records that William the Conqueror used the blow.

The blow, or colée, when first utilized was given with a naked fist. It was a forceful box on the ear . . ."
