As a teacher of Classical Greek and Roman Mythology I was looking forward to “Troy.” In the past I have build together a unit on the Trojan War that included not only Homer’s anecdote poem the “Iliad,” but also the plays of Euripides and Aeschylus and other old-fashioned works on the stories of these characters. In other words I am familiar with this narrative to the extent that when Briseis showed up wearing a garment with long sleeves I was upset that we did not acquire to observe the magnificent arms that were share of her usual epithet. So, suffice it to say, that when characters who survived the Trojan War started dying in this film, I was not exactly pleased. Consequently, the truth is that the less you know about the Trojan War of classical mythology, the more you will devour Wolfgang Petersen’s “Troy.”

I have no spot with the concept that Homer and the other ancients have to be adapted in making a current motion relate about the Trojan War. The decision to eliminate the gods is appropriate, getting away from the conception that this was a ten year war makes sense, and if the alliance of the Greeks is now political rather than as share of an oath sworn by the princes who were suitors for Helen’s hand, I deem that to be legitimate. I do not understand why Iphigenia, Cassandra, and Hecuba are all eliminated but there are not fatal omissions. But when you begin rewriting who gets killed that is going a bit too far, especially when one premature death starts a chain enact that means Athens will never get the jury system, which means we probably lose out on it too. David Benioff’s screenplay was “inspired” by Homer’s “Iliad,” which at least is an unprejudiced design to represent what he did in this script, but I serene do not have to like it or endorse it.
The titanic selling point for this film was not Homer but rather Brad Pitt as Achilles. Stories abound about how Pitt worked six months to pick up in shape for this film, gave up smoking, and ended up hurting his Achilles tendon in one of those profound ironies that indicates that maybe the gods were not contented with what was happening in this film. Pitt certainly looks worthy, not fair in terms of taking several opportunities to exhibit the line of his nude body, but in how he carries himself as Achilles. The whole view is that this guy is the greatest warrior on the face of the planet and Pitt exudes that with the device he strides across the sands of Troy. Even more impressive is the choreography for the fights, because Pitt’s movements are so collected and great, especially compared with that of Eric Bana’s Hector, that you do not doubt that this guy is in a league by himself as a warrior. I also like the contrivance he uses the distinctive effect of his shield when fighting. They belief this fragment out quite a bit.

The fight choreography was worked out by Simon Crane, the film’s stunt coordinator and second unit director, who describes Achilles as fighting with a boxing style but with the velocity of a hasten skater and the agility of a panther. They also reach up with a nice touch in that Achilles looks slightly to the side at his opponent until he is ready to advance in for the waste. The best fight sequences of “Troy” are when Achilles is fighting. The giant battle sequences of computerized soldiers are not as impressive, mainly because the camera is always in motion and the cutting is so rapid that we are left with an impression of the battle rather than always being able to squawk what is going on (which has become my constant complaint with most movies with gargantuan battle sequences) .
Bana does a satisfactory job of capturing Hector’s nobility without turning him into a marble statue, while Peter O’Toole fills the role of Priam naturally. On the Trojan side the problematic character is Paris (Orlando Bloom), again because of the writing more than the performance. Priam has negotiated peace between Troy and the Sparta of King Menelaus (Brendan Gleeson), but that is destroyed when Paris persuades Helen (Diane Kruger) to speed away with him. Both Hector and Priam know that Paris is ghastly and their reasons for supporting him and thereby dooming Troy ring hollow (the less than stellar “Helen of Troy” television miniseries did a nice job of providing a solid motivation for the Trojans to protect Helen) .
It you want to device a definite distinction between Homer’s chronicle of Achilles and that of Benioff it is that the customary is about the rage of Achilles (gape the first line of the “Iliad”) and the latter adds an equally strong like element. The one character whose role is most inflated in this version is that of Briseis (Rose Byrne), the Trojan slave girl who comes between Achilles and Agamemnon (Brian Cox), the king of kings for the Greeks. This change becomes the reasoning slow how the film rewrites the destroy game of the Trojan War, although I collected do not understand why some of the key characters secure to live happily ever after. But since Pitt’s performance dominates the film and he is clearly the horse that director Wolfgang Petersen is riding to compose the whole thing work, it makes sense that he has to be around until the very slay.
The salubrious news is that when I remark mythology after this DVD comes out my students will probably savor attacking Benioff’s changes in the fresh stories of Greek mythology in their papers. I mediate this will definitely succor them understand why the writings of Homer and the other ancients are considered classics.
Features 2 original extras: “Troy In Focus” a 23 microscopic interview and a unique 5 petite introduction by Wolfgang Peterson. Most of the other special features have been ported over from the previous edition.
First the most primary expect is whether or not this double dip is worth it? Absolutely because the additional footage only enhances the film giving it additional depth. The transfer is striking (regardless of which format) as well. In many respects this isn’t a double dip because we acquire a film that is friendly to the modern version.
Unlike “The Illiad” Wolfgang Petersen’s film “Troy” seemed too short and for generous reason; Petersen had to elegant the film down to a shorter length for its theatrical release. Luckily Warner gave Petersen the opportunity to revisit this anecdote film and add more meat to the bones of a film that had the leer of an record but was missing grand of the emotional depth.
Petersen restores roughly 32 minutes to the film giving additional depth to the various relationships in the film. While “Troy” isn’t a perfect anecdote, it’s mighty improved. James Horner’s derive is level-headed occasionally obtrusive but the overall impact of Petersen’s film with its obliging performances from Brian Cox (who steals almost every scene he’s in), the unruffled power of Eric Bana and even the gravity of Pitt as Achilles is far more effective than the previous version.
Image quality is fine for both the DVD and Blu Ray verisons of the film (the Blu Ray, of course, gets the nod because the images are noteworthy sharper, crisper with better definition but the DVD isn’t too shabby either) . Audio for the Blu Ray is presented lossless while the DVD’s audio sounds terrific given the limitations of the format. Colors are a bit bolder here than on the previous version to my eyes.
It appears that a lot of the special features from the previous edition have been ported over and the only fresh things are the introduction by Petersen as well as a retrospective 23 petite interview where Petersen discusses the genesis of the new film and this project.
This film version considerable more closely resembles what he had in mind when he took on the project. Greek mythology purists will gain some of the changes disturbing but some of the changes enhance the film pulling the strands of the narrative together a exiguous tighter.
