is the movie about Omero's Iliades?

Rating: 5/10 (7 July 2005)

I'm really sorry for my awful English.. I saw the film "troy"...more or less an year ago...while I was studying the Iliad at school...( the trirth class of a classic lyceum in Italy ..where you study also ancient Greek and Latin).. In this movie I found fantastic costumes...beautiful musics..impressive scenes..and top-stars cast... but like many people I was sad to see how Homer's famous dialogs, full of emotion,pathos and reality in the Greek text, became normal Hollywood film's line...without any meaning... an other important point is that in the movie you can see the Troian horse episode...an episode who belongs to Eneides and not to Iliades...and is whrite by Virgilio a roman author and not Homer....who wrote the Trojan battle poem ... In my opinion troy is a great film..but it isn't a good historical movie... Thank you..
