Perseus Movie Analysis

In the Greek Story, of The Clash of the Titans Perseus and his mother are ordered to be murdered by his grandfather, but a fisherman saves him; additionally, Perseus obtains Medusas head, therefore saving his mother from marrying the king. However, in the movie Perseus saves a princess from being sacrificed to the Cracken. There are many differences, as well as many similarities between the movie and the Greek story. Comparing, the movie and the story there are a few similarities that they share. For example, in both versions Perseus obtains Medusas head. Perseus also meets the witches that share one eye; he also grabs the eye to obtain information from them in both the movie and the Greek story. In both versions of the story Dicty saves Perseus and his mother, also Dicty marries Perseus’s mother. The movie version didn’t follow the Greek story to the point, but it did take some ideas from the story.
For instance, Perseus falls in love with two different people. In the movie he falls in love with Io and in the story he falls in love with the princess. Another difference is in the movie his mother dies and in the story his mother lives happily ever after. Additionally, in the movie there was a creature called the Cracken, while in the story there was not. Many differences were used in the movie and the story, making both interesting. In my opinion, I believed the story version was better than the movie because it had an easier plot to follow. The story version was also more interesting than the movie. Another reason the story was better because his family lives in the story and it has a happy ending to it. Both versions of “The Clash of the Titans” were interesting, but I preferred the Greek version more than the movie
