Hollywood! You let go of Greek mythology!

If you want to ask who has the ability to bring Greek mythology to life on the big screen, it is estimated that Americans have the ability. And Americans are so interested in adapting those meaningful fairy tales into such nondescript myth and fantasy films through the fusion of special effects packaging and commercial fun.
It is estimated that the American people are tired of watching simple tough guy actions and want to change their tastes. So the American screenwriters racked their brains, and it was the same fight. Fighting with alien creatures in space is much more interesting. If you can do some magic, it will be even more amazing, and if you have a good fight with the gods, it is impossible not to attract people's attention. Bar. So the wild imaginations in Greek mythology, or any wild imaginations that seem to tie in with Greek mythology, have become a testing ground for American directors to show their ability to master blockbuster movies. "It doesn't matter how he shoots, anyway, when I make this kind of film, it looks like a big director, and who cares about the details." His aura is like a Yankee showing off his high-tech armament in the Gulf War. How many people die in Iraq, who cares about them.
Of course, what to shoot is their freedom, I don't care about that, but I'm just surprised, I have to hum a few times. First of all, the king is fictional, so it doesn't matter. But why is Greece also a famous power in history, can you show it a little more? How many people are there in the harbor? It is estimated that there are not many people in a village. In the end, the number of the remaining Greek troops is not as large as that of Li Yunlong's independent regiment? This is still Greece, and Uganda is about the same.
Some netizens commented that the sets and costumes in the movie are beautiful, I have no objection, but beauty and fit are two concepts after all. So what is Zeus wearing as a god? Sexy cassock outfit? Also take a scepter, can't get the scriptures from the West? titan. . . It was originally a race of gods with perfect mana and physique. . . Become a ghoul. . . And that king's hat, wow, Hello Kitty. . .
The plot is not mentioned, and this kind of film does not pay attention to this. But the money for special effects was not invested in the place where the investment was changed, and it looked extremely simple. The only bright spot was the bow that shot a light arrow. The overall feeling is to follow the fashion, but do not know how to match. Do you think that a few people flying around in the sky is a Greek myth? Do you think Zeus and his sons and daughters are a group of five to represent the Greek gods?
In the past two years, there have been many films based on this as a selling point, and of course there are also good ones. For example, "Three Hundred Spartans" is very good, and it is indeed a violent aesthetic. The battle of the gods is also successful, at least the special effects are used in the right place. As for God of War and Thor and stuff like that, I really. . I don't want to speak dirty.
I think that some netizens must not be able to understand the tragic mood of the Greek people when they see such blockbusters. When the old beauty comes to film Chinese mythology that day, and asks Nuwa to make up the sky, she will have a hot sex scene with Pangu. At that time, I guess we will feel the same way, and we will not always complain about why domestic films are not as good as foreign ones. .
Hollywood, forget about Greek mythology and other cultural heritage that counts. If you have the guts, go take a photo of the Bible, and commercialize Moses' exodus from Egypt and the coming of the last days. Be careful of being scolded to death.

    Stavros: But likely. It'll be a slaughter.

    Phaedra: You have no faith.

    Dareios: Heathens.

    Stavros: That is true, Dareios. But not always. When I was just a boy, I prayed to the Gods, for a horse. The Gods never answered me. So I stole one, instead.

  • Phaedra: To those whom much is given, much is taken away.
