TROY Film Analysis by: Dianne Lim Federis Wolfgang Peterson tackles the job of bringing the epic of Homer’s The Iliad to the big screen in his film Troy. Iliad being a lengthy text‚ it is impossible to include every detail in a movie. Therefore‚ there are obvious deviations from the book such as the length of the Trojan War‚ and the absence of celestial participation in the war. There is also an absence of mortal female characters such as Chryseis‚ Hecuba‚ and Cassandra in the movie. In contrast

The movie Troy and the epic poem‚ the Iliad‚ reveal distinct differences and similarities in several scenes such as when Achilles learns of his fate but still decides to go to war; which is a similarity‚ and two other scenes which are differences that concern the length of the war and the other is the role of the gods in the story.

Hubbard’s words ring true to the events that took place in Queen Victoria’s life and the movie representing her actions‚ as well. The acclaimed movie‚ The Young Victoria‚ stars Queen Victoria‚ played by Emily Blunt‚ and Prince Albert‚ who prove their selfless love for each other after living in other people’s worlds. The movie shows Victoria’s struggle to find herself while she finds her allies too. I believe that the movie‚ The Young Victoria‚ is not an accurate portrayal of the real life events of Queen

Movies often contain historical inaccuracies regarding timing of events‚ food during a specific time period‚ and famous people. The movie‚ Ever After‚ was mostly accurate when they showed the Prince playing tennis. They played in an enclosed court‚ but it is debatable whether tennis players used a glove or a racquet. The movie showed Leonardo putting the Mona Lisa into a tube‚ this could not have happened because it was originally painted on wood. When Rodmilla told Prince Henry that Danielle was

BY: MA. ROSELLE PAULINE PERALTA The movie “Troy” which was released in 2004 was a fairly remarkable movie. However‚ the scene starting with the Trojan Horse being found by the Trojans and ending with Troy being sacked had lacked effectiveness. This may be due to insufficient details delivered throughout the whole movie.

Still I like her Helen of Troy‚ or Helen or Sparta‚ one of the most controversial female characters in literature‚ has been the literary and mythic symbol of beauty and illicit love. She was the most beautiful woman in Greece best known for being the cause of the Trojan War. A wholewar
