Where was Cassandra?

Rating: Null/10 (26 June 2004)

I was awfully shocked at the shortsightedness of the makers of 'Troy'. I would have expected something more than just a story about an invincible hero, mismatched love and age old nobility. I'm also disappointed in the exclusion of Cassandra, the great seer who foresaw the whole terrible war, the menace of the Greek horse and the doom of Troy. Her great gift, and healing powers gave a lot of strength to desperate Trojans. The fact that nobody realized the reason for her incarnating in Troy at that particular time when her starling abilities were most needed by her people. The relationship between her, the 'gods' and her family could have given the movie the brightness that it badly needed. Personally, I would want to see the movie a second time.
