Film Review Troy, Trojan Horse Massacre, and Glycosides

Sometimes, the line between myth and history is not very clear. Before Sheriman discovered the ruins of Troy, Trojans and Trojans were well known in the western world, but no one thought that these were real history. Until June of 1873 and 15, Troy, buried for thousands of years, finally met the world in Sheriman's persistent pursuit. I have always been interested in the mysterious ancient civilization. When I was very young, I watched the story of Jason outsmarting golden fleece and killing cattle in the magic palace in theseus, which made me have an unusual enthusiasm for Greek myths and heroic stories. I like reading all books or movies about ancient Greece. Wolfgang petersen's Troy is not to be missed.

Troy's story has been put on the screen many times. If the previous stories are told in the form of myths and legends, this film is more like recreating the era of heroes. Last summer, I watched the American drama Helen of Troy, which was filmed for the pure love of the Prince of Paris, and turned Achilles, a handsome, brave and kind hero in the Iliad, into a bloodthirsty madman who took pleasure in killing people. Troy was still a hero, and Achilles watched the arrow fall on his heel without regret.

I don't want to compare the movie story with Homer's original work, but I still don't like movies that are over-adapted. Wolfgang petersen still lets Achilles play the leading role, showing us the rich heart of this legendary hero. Achilles was born for the Trojan War, because he was the daughter of Poseidon, thetis, and the son of Peleus, a human hero. It was at his parents' wedding that the "golden apple dispute" took place, which led to the outbreak of the Trojan War. In the film, he has his own unique views on war and life. He does not pursue wealth or beauty, but only honor. This kind of honor, that is, what China said, is the ambition of "flying geese leave their voices and people leave their names". Achilles' participation in the war is more about helplessness and sense of mission. He is an invulnerable warrior, an arrogant general, and a bloody and emotional person. Otherwise, when Priam asked him to return Hecktor's body, there would be no pity. Favorites in Homer's ballads, such as Peterson.

The plot of this film is relatively simple. Homer's epic condensed more than ten years of war into the last 53 days, while Peterson obviously just wanted to focus on the most exciting scenes and tense moments of the war. So I can't see the romance of Paris tempting Helen and the depression of the Greeks who besieged the city for ten years. Although the compact plot is the advantage of the film, it's a pity that the time span is too inconspicuous, as if the war only lasted for dozens of days, including 12 days because of Hecktor's funeral. There are still many scenes deleted for the sake of socialist spiritual civilization, which interrupt the development of many plots and many turns are too abrupt. I don't know whether to blame Scissorhands or Peterson for this. For these reasons, I have to look forward to the big DVD version again.

Let's talk about movie characters and related actors first. Brad Pitt is really the best choice for Achilles. With the wild and uninhibited in The Legend of Autumn and the gloomy and deep in Interview with Vampires as the lining, and Brad Pitt's handsome, healthy and classical figure, it is almost a replica of Achilles' tragic hero image. Orlando Bloom is an out-and-out shooter wherever he goes. To tell a joke, you can apply a saying in the martial arts world, that is, the arrow is in front of people, and the arrow is one. Only when Prince Paris held Hecktor's leg, he swept away the prestige and bravery of the elf shooter. Hecktor is the perfect man in all women's minds, honest, selfless, loyal and kind. No matter which version, I shed tears for Hecktor's death. Eric Barna's overall image is more suitable for this role. Although he is a stranger to me, I think I will get to know him more and more. Odysseus, after all, he belongs to Odysseus. Peter stole all the limelight from Sean Bean, a Greek army think tank. Helen has to say, objectively speaking, although she is not the cause of the Trojan War, she is at least an excuse for dignity, and she must have a charming appearance. To diane kruger and any previous version of Helen, I just want to say: Nothing is better than imagination. Moreover, Spartans never spare their wives, and they can borrow from each other, so they went to war for Helen. Agamemnon, whether he sacrificed his daughter or not, whether he had ambition or not, I don't like people who started wars. Because the cause of war is always greed for plundering resources or wealth, and the result of war is ruthless destruction of life and rude trampling on civilization.

The details of the film, such as clothes and hairstyles, are well handled. Basically, it is the standard dress of the ancient Greeks, including the style of armor and boots, and almost all of them are moved from history books. However, there is one place that makes me wonder why all the warriors in ancient Greece wore armor with bare arms. It's supposed to be worn inside. Perhaps, in order to attract the attention of female fans, all Mr. Muscle went shirtless.

Hollywood movies always remember several signature dishes while bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new: heroism, free will, honor, human rights, love, passion and so on. For decades, it has been our responsibility to push all emotions to the highest point. Emotion is the means, and box office is the purpose. Troy is no exception.
