So completely untrue to the REAL Homer

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2005)

After reading a translation of Homer's epic in one of my classes we decided to get together and watch "Troy". We spent those long two hours and 40 minutes poking fun and scrutinizing the film itself and how it completely differed from Homer's "Iliad". Troy itself missed the point that Homer was trying to convey. Instead, the director of the movie tried to make it into a likeness of America and our passion for invading anything that we feel like. I personally think that he did a terrible job and destroyed Homer in a big way. Also, the hype about Brad Pitt showing his bottom in the movie was not all that it was cracked up to be. They showed that scene in the first ten minutes ruining the reason why 2/3 of the female population of this country went to see it. Sigh. Awful movie. Don't go to see it unless you like shallow war movies. ~SNS
