piece of crap

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2005)

this film is a total piece of crap that reflects how Hollywood is totally unable to understand anything to culture or literature First of all, they were no Berverley Hills hairdressers living in ancient Greece (as far as I know). So people were not blonds with stupid haircuts Second of all, and that's the real problem, the film ignores the main characters of the book : the Gods. The troy war, as Homer tells it, is a war between the gods that are playing with the humans. To erase it for, I guess, the stupid purpose of making a so-called more realistic film, is an complete non-sens. Or maybe it was to please the Christian American fanatics ? who knows. And I don't even talk about the poetry. If Hollywood was able to understand what poetry was, I guess someone in the world would know about it. So see that film if you believe that literature, poetry, history, culture is basically bullshit for dinosaurs. Otherwise, forget about it.
