okay, the moment u've all been dreading... elaine's VERY critical analysis of the movie "Troy"
IT WAS SOOOOOOO HISTORICALLY INACCURATE IT WASNn'T EVEN FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the movie should be called "ACHILLES" not "TROY"
they glorified Achilles sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! i mean, he was MORAL!!! AChilles and moral do not belong in the same sentence, EVER!!!!
the ending was too perfect!! i mean, i'm glad Paris doesn't die, bcuz i really didn't want 2 c Orlando's guts spilling out, but still!!!
the Briseis/Achilles love story COMPLETELY takes away from the Helen/Paris romance, which is supposed 2 be the focal point of the story! i mean, she was like his sex slave, not lover!
Agamemnon was NOT supposed 2 die by Briseis' hand, even though that was kinda awesome, bcuz i wnated 2 shoot him. he was supposed 2 go home, and get murdered by his wife and her lover.
Menelaus was NOT supposed 2 die. he was basically the only 1 2 survive and go home all happily. but i do admit that by Hector killing him, it did strengthen Hector's character even more.
Helen and Paris runnign off 2gether nad SURVIVING in the end????? u GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
one word: Hector
best part of the entire movie... Hector.. oh Hector. why did u have 2 die?? even though that was what happened... grr... Eric Bana did a good job w/ Hector. and no, i do NOT like Eric Bana. i've liked the character Hector ever since i read the book. tho Eric Bana has a REALLY sexy voice.
okay i'll stop there.
basic summary: The movie is good, if u really don't care about the real story.

i'm gonna go c it again sometime
