Homer portrays him as a formidable soldier in the Iliad‚ as if he was immortal but his disturbed‚ human being characteristics are showed in later chapters in the poem. On the other hand‚ Achilles is characterized as a hero in Troy. He is depicted as a respectable and laudable character in the film. One of the examples for such differences is showed in both the poem and the film‚ in the way Achilles treats Hector’s body after he has killed him. In the Iliad‚ Achilles shows no emotion over Hector’s death

period Historical Movie Review: Troy The film Troy was directed by Wolfgang Peterson and produced in 2004. The film was adapted by Homers great epic poem‚ The Iliad. The characters from The Iliad were portrayed by many well-known actors including‚ Brad Pitt‚ Orlando Bloom‚ and Eric Bana. Overall the movie was very entertaining but also contained many small errors and some historical inaccuracies. Troy retells the story of a war started by the Greek gods. Although the movie focuses more on the

The heroic values of ancient Greece were centered on timē and kleos‚ meaning honor and glory‚ respectively. These were ideals that every man desired‚ and only great men achieved. However‚ there is a difference between glory and power. In Homer’s epic poem the Iliad‚ King Agamemnon represents the type of man who believes power instantly equals eternal glory‚ while Achilles is the type of man who wants to earn his glory through battles and body counts. Both characters have a thirst for glory that often

The book and movie are completely different. It ’s like comparing apples and oranges. (I ’m assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book‚ but he is never a large character. (This is a really long book‚ so I ’ll just put in the basics). The three people that Dantes swears vengance against are the Count de Morcerf

was a commendable representation of the book by F. Scott Fitzgerald that it was based off of. The roles of the main characters Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio)‚ Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan)‚ Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton)‚ and Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) were played on point. The movie mostly kept the same feeling as the book or helped the viewer understand it more. Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan’s roles in the book were recreated almost perfectly in the movie. The two actors really helped the person

point when this novel was to be transformed into a movie‚ the director was sure to have faced many the difficulties of transforming a novel into a film. It is hard to do so‚ while making this film essentially the same as the novel. The film did have some missing pieces‚ but I do believe the director did a decent job capturing the intent and meaning of the novel. In To Kill a Mockingbird‚ there were numerous similarities between the novel and movie. The standout amongst them was the actions of Atticus

Have you ever read a book then watched the movie and was disappointed? Well I know it happened to me. The book “To Kill a Mockingbird” was very different from the movie in many ways‚ but at the same time they were the same. Every movie is like the book in some way‚ no matter what. In the book and the movie‚ Tom Robinson’s trial was the same in many ways. The defendant told the same story and she got angry at Atticus. The trial also presented how Tom was right handed and how he was at Mayella’s house

There’s George who takes care of Lennie and is very kind and loyal to lennie.He then eventually met slim and realized they were kinda the same and soon became close to him.

Gatsby In the book The Great Gatsby‚ by F. Scott Fitzgerald‚ a man tries to get the love of his life back‚ and ends up dying because of it. Now some people think this is heroic but others think he was just plain stupid. The director Baz Luhrmann adapted the book into a movie and did a good job portraying some aspects of the book‚ like the characters and the overall plot. He also did a good job of adding new things into it to make the movie better‚ like Nick’s life after Gatsby. The book has some strong

A Christmas Carol The first edition of A Christmas Carol was introduced in 1843 and the movie version was first let out in 1938. Interesting huh? Well here is a very fun fact about Charles Dickens‚ the writer of this novel‚ he always insisted on sleeping with his bed aligned north-south‚ with his head pointing north. He also had a pet raven called Grip which he had stuffed when it died in 1841. These are a couple of facts that I found very interesting and a little different. In this report I’m going
