Troy Under Attack!
The United States of America has been enjoying impairing the legacy of other cultures using various ways. It seems that they overcome their historical inferiority complex through the imperialistic cultural invasions. However the history of ephemeral nation has been smeared with endless invasion and brutal massacre which have been deceived and beautified by their own hands. Look at the American invasion to Arab. It shows that they are nothing more than gangster (You [CENSORED], how dare you can call yourself police! You don’t change your inborn vulgar nature, do you?). Homer’s epic, “The Illiad” was also trampled down by Petersen’s Troy as Native Americans have been in their motherland. Even though you have never read it or have no interest in Greek Mythology, you will easily recognize it in the moment you see naked Pitt in the first 10 minutes of this cheap flick.
Petersen’s Troy focuses on three machos’ fights for their lovers; Pitt as a hunky stud, Bana as a father figure, and Bloom as an absolute cutie boy. Achilles, Hector, and Paris do not exist in his flick. He just took various masculine images from the great poem of Homer to seduce thoughtless girls, who can drool over their heroes’ semi-nudities and willingly weep at their deaths. He cajoles stupid girls into wasting their money. The director thoroughly ignores the role of woman in the society, who completely depends on a man and his love, He confines female characters and viewers in his Cinderella fantasies. In case of Briseis, her character is too weak and unconvincing to understand her. She was the priestess who swore God to her virginity. But how could she so easily lose her chastity to a revengeful playboy? What the [CENSORED] does he know about the Homer’s epic! Girls! You are so pathetic! I weep for your tears and indiscreet consciousness. Shame on you. You should show your anger to [CENSORED] Petersen!
You may say that history is his story, not her story. However he also failed to make Troy into his story because of its illogical storylines and irreversible miscatings. Pitt is the Achilles heel in Petersen’s Troy (Tyler Durden absolutely fails to sell soap in Ancient Greece) when he is taken close-ups, jumps around and reads his lines. I remember when Pitt suddenly said to his girl, “You gave me peace in a lifetime of war!” This one line tells all about Petersen’s faults in Troy. She did not give him any peace except that they made love together. PLEASE READ AN EPIC OF HOMER. Petersen’s Troy is American challenge and invasion to Troy like Bush does.
