Just saw "promo" on the movie "TROY" - where they gave the account of the story from Homer's book (The Illiad) - and occassionally had clips from the movie interpretation.
Any thought on whether this movie will be a "hit" or a "miss" - based on the ACTORS???
A little FYI on the character of Hector. After the 10 yr war he returns home and is slaughtered by his wife who has taken a lover in his absense. Quite common place back then actually.
ok... EM... I think it will be a hit, it has Pitt AND Bloom! that means that a lot of young girls will drool over it. Than the guys instead of having a nice Helen, they have a huge fight to look forward too, but you know what? I got invited to see it on friday with Fire and Storm (members here, not sure if Storm even knows about it and I'll give a report about it for ya )
oh and RA... I double checked with evy... you missed the ball a bit... Hector got killed by Achilles, and Odysseus (sp, it's not the english name) returned home after ten years
yeap, but Odysseus (have NO idea whatsoever about the english name of this guy, here we call him Odyssea ) wasn't slaughtered by his wife Reborn, you must refer to something else me thinks

well yeah, but it's not regarded as history I had this question in my first year of highschool exams about Homer, "Why can't books by Homer be regarded as historical facts?"

ah, if you say it like that... than the answer is obviously it can't, but SOME parts might ... like the location of the city, with Schliemann finding something that could be Troy and all
I saw a really good little film last night...after Newcastle made a show of themselves, again!...called FRAILTY. Anyone seen it? There's a terrific triple twist ending with a really cool last shot...highly recommended!
