Movie Review 22
Troy (Rating: 4)
It is based on Homer’s stories. I forgot if it was real history or just a myth.
The story is quite simple. When Trojan princes Hector (Eric Bana) & Paris not Hilton (Legoras) visited Sparta for peace talking or something, Legoras fell in love with Helen, a gorgeous wife of Spartan king. Whether elf or not he is, Legoras took her to Troy and married her. Of course, Spartan king was so mad that he asked his brother King Agamemnon to attack Troy. However, in order to win the war, Agamemnon people needed a help by arrogant but greatest warrior, Achilles (Brad Pitt). He didn’t want to help that stupid kind, but his friend Odysseus (Boromir) convinced him to fight (like, you could be a hero!). The rest of story is war and Wooden Horse story.
After you’ve seen Return of the King, Troy’s CG battle scene might look weaker, but one-on-one battles were much more exciting than LOTR. Each character is also very profound. For example, Brad Pitt pumped his body like Greek sculpture or Governor of California. I decided I should start something to become like that. Orlando Bloom was really Legoras. Literally, Paris is good at bow. Sean Bean got stronger and cooler role as Odysseus compared to Boromir. He came up with the idea of Wooden Horse after all.
While the movie is evolving around the war, there are also some romances there. But do not expect anything emotional or touchy.
