War is the subject on the audiences’ view in the movie that the audience are confused in the story,
they fail to realize the beauty of ancient Greek civilization – what it
announced and what it explained, they do not recognize the mythical culture the
Greeks owned. The wealth, power, values and beliefs the Greeks held were
sufficed to show to the whole world that they, as well as their culture, are of
excellence, which was streamed with intellects and prepared to compete among
great nations in their time.
I, like most
people do, have known Greece about heir gods and goddesses (myths). The Greeks’
rituals, practices and beliefs to their gods, as a whole, is extensive and
vigorous that it seem to have pillars like it was unbreakable. The belief have
three corners in its world – hell, heaven and earth, if a Greek wishes that his
enemy would die, he would pray to the god of hell (Hades) that he would take
the life of this person he wishes to meet hell, and, if a Greek wishes this person to ascend to
heave, he would pray to the god of heaven (Zeus) that he will welcome the
goodly person. As it is of demand, Greek civilization is being presented and
portrayed in a perfect manner in the movie.
I admire how good Americans are in presenting such twisted
epic. Homer’s presentation in Illiad is a complicated plot that such director
and writer would analyze Homer’s aim to humanity and what his epic contributed
and implied. I understand the abstractness of the movie with the order of the
epic remained chronological and the aim of the director or writer is being
expressed and most importantly, the teachings Homer wanted to impart and
brought up to humanity is visible.
Homer’s intention
to humanity is to open our views with the manifolds of the life, that we should
be aided with love and the righteous wins over evil. He instill to us that
power is given, and should be used evenly, and also not and should likewise be
given significance to, that strength is within and it should not be abused,
that wisdom reproduces new forms of ideas and conquers a nation, and that mind
rules over matter of emotions, it may be the other way around, but the one who
uses it should be skillful enough, as Achilles in warfare. Homer portrays the
life of the Greeks – their culture and adventures – through inculcating the
world that life is enough for us to own and should be grateful that we are
given that price gift, for others, who do not consider that life is sufficient,
they should look on to themselves first, on how well they are doing.
I appreciate
the way the producer or writer arrange the setting. It is descriptive, in a
sense that, it completes the illustration of Homer to ancient Greece, although it
takes million to finish such props, design and place of settlement, the
director or producer is capable of reaching a high-quality movie which is open
to judgments. It is expressive, that it answers, the problem of the viewers of
what ancient Greece and its people eventually look like and how they move about
or respond to people among greater nations. The analyses that Greece, with its
beliefs, was, far more better among towering nations, and the philosophy that
Greece is the training ground for men who wanted to seek more or discover.
I notice the
making love of Helen and Prince Paris in the movie and I believe that the
director or producer choose the person who would fit to play the role Helen
(Diane Kruger) because her potentiality to be like one shows through her
extraordinary beauty, her full blossom, her satin-like skin, her beautifully
curved features and her being graceful, they prove it by way of this love scene
– the nudity of Diane Kruger. I think Brad Pitt, with his title as the most
sexiest man in the world in year 2003, fits most in his role and play it well,
since Achilles is being described by Homer as handsome, one with great stature
and physical outlook, skilled in manner and in ways, and wise which is of wide
extent, and which he uses for and according to his will and what he stand for.
Not all scenes in the movie are desirable,
there are those which I consider unpleasant. I reject the scene which presents the
dancing of the female courtesans at the house of Alexandros for the Dannans are
having a feast by whom he kissed on of them. I understand that man wants to
fill their emptiness. But, I neglect the idea of the director or producer to
show the pessimistic side of the Greek culture, since, for sociological reason,
the society considers prostitution as a societal case that could not evaporate,
it may be judged at, but, it is an inevitable thing, they are transparent, that
they give an informal presentation which explains to their lack of respect
towards the Greek and their culture, and they are vulgar, that they insulted
the amusement of the Greeks and they deserve a condemnation themselves.
