A bit different Homer

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2004)

Well, first of all I must say it's a GREAT movie. Still, it has so many changes to the original script (Homer's Illiad), that I had honestly hoped till the end of the movie the Troy might actually win the war. I guess I was partially inclined to the Troy because its people and royal family were simply better and had a better cause. It had been also like that every time I had read the Illiad back in high school, but this time I got even more touched by wonderful, excellent interpretation of Hector, Prince of Troy, by Erik Bana(dinovich). He played the just and stoical Prince of Troy with an amazing passion. If I had to grade all the cast, I would probably give an A to most of them, but only Eric Bana (maybe Brad Pitt and Peter O'Toole also) would get an A+(++). As for cast, I also found a bit strange there had been blond Greeks 3200 years ago... It is a bit different, but excellent Homer.
