Based on Homer's epic "The Iliad"

Homer's epics are the earliest and longest narrative poems known to ancient Greece, which provided rich material for the literature of later generations in Europe and had far-reaching influences. The epic is divided into two parts, the Iliad and the Ottersey. This film is adapted from "The Iliad". The article starts with the main contradiction between Agamemnon and Agius. At the end of the story, Odysseus uses the Trojan Horse to slaughter the city of Troy. Agius dies after being shot in the ankle by Perris - Agius' only weakness. This is where the "Heel of Agius" comes from. And "Ottersey" tells the story of Odysseus returning home after 10 years of drifting at sea after the Battle of Troy.

The film weakens the part of the myth, and the content, plot and character relationship are not completely faithful to the original. It is often seen that the adapted movies and TV series are different from the original, which is just the wishful thinking of the audience. Who stipulated that the adaptation must be loyal to the original plot and character relationship?

First of all, the narrative logic methods of different carriers must be different, and the medium is the information;

Secondly, the essence of film creation, that is, the essence of artistic creation, is not to copy the original literature, but to show the perspectives and feelings of the director and others in a more visual way, which is still an expression. Creating a good work is king. Of course, adapting on top of a great work is more risky.

Is the movie good or bad? I went for Pete and the goal was to see all his movies. In my eyes, he doesn't have bad movies, at most there are some things that are male-friendly, I don't feel it. A few days ago, I watched a ranking of Pitt's movies, and the number one was actually "Moneyball". I am more interested in their playing strategies, but I don't have much impression on them.

After reading "Troy", I finally remembered the names of several characters in Homer's epic poems, and I can combine them with their stories. Anyone who likes ancient Greek stories and heroines can watch it. After reading it, every hero can be visualized (remember that it's all because of appearance?)
