Review of Troy (2004) by Don G — 09 Jan 2013
In an age of the decline of good film making, Troy is a welcome masterpeice. Closely following the Iliad, it is truly a classic come to life on the screen. From the soundtrack, to the acting, to the cinematography, it is a believeable and quality picture.
Were there blond Greeks or clean shaven Greeks and Trojans? No matter, it is still believable. The fight scenes are very exciting and realistic. I want to know who the trainer was! The secondary love story between Archilles and Breseius adds interest and depth.
The tension between Archilles and Aggememnon was well done. All of the characters were believeable. The chanting helped to make the film seem like a page out of history. Finally the twist given at the end to the creation of the myth of Archilles' heel was brilliant and amusing and a light on all fact turned myth, for that is what myth must be.
I applaud this film.
