My thoughts on Troy
Friday, 21 May 2004 23:26I have just been to see Troy with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
edling, Cat, Anna and Sam. These are my thoughts on the film, gathered together here under appropriate headings for my sake as much as anyone else's. It's a significant reception of the classical world after all, and I may have to teach it some day! I'm warning you, though - without the cuts this is An Extremely Long Post Indeed.
( Overall impressions )
( The effects of previous films )
( Homoeroticism )
( The mise-en-scène )
( Anachronisms )
( Significant deviations from the standard plot )
( Relation to contemporary events )
( Missing characters )
( Mis-allocated screen time )
( Acting and direction )
OK, I think that is all for now... The above is probably full of hideous typos and spelling errors, as I've been doing this for about 2 hours now, and I'm very tired. Please let me know if you spot any, and I'll put them right.
Thank-you for listening.
