It's easy to hear what you want to hear; to project onto a film the message you want to take away.
So I'll come away from Kingdom of Heaven having seen a war between religious hatred and religious tolerance, Bono's "Abraham, tell your sons" speech thrown onto the silver screen.

On the other hand, I could be reading too much into it.
