My view about Troy

Rating: Null/10 (29 March 2010)

Praise rained down on this film, aroused my curiosity, then I rent the DVD home to find out how the so-called masterpiece won the international repute.
After watching the movie, I was in a puzzle as to how to evaluate it. Apparently, Troy is not faithful to the Iliad, and is not historically accurate. In Iliad, Homer let Helen to take the blame for the battle, it's all for Helen. In the film, the tyrant Agamemnon invaded Troy result from his own desire for power, wealth and reputation.
Tthere was standout cast, the actors didn't fit the characters they portray very well. According to the standard of handsome, charming and attracted at that time, a man must be big, large, strong, or heavy. Take Prince Paris for example, he was barely qualified to the tough model. I assumed that Brad Pitt was more adequate for this character; as for character for Achilles, I prefer The Rock Johnson, he is born to be a worrier. I firmly believe that Johnson will portray outstandingly as if Achilles has reborn in modern movie.
Although I have some criticism of this movie, undoubtedly, there are some advantages that is worth mentioning. The film highlighted the passion for patriotism, love for family and lover, wisdom of pardon, variety of virtue which has passed down from predecessor. And the scene which a young man received the sword of Troy from Prince Paris implied that No matter how worse the situation is, never shall we give up the hope.
In conclusion, this film leaves something to be desired; however, I can't deny that it is full of entertainment.
