Based loosely on Homers ancient Greek epic poem 'Iliad', Troy: Fall of a City tells the story of the 10 year siege of the ancient city of Troy by the Greeks, after Paris, the young prince of Troy falls in love with the wife of a Greek king and elopes with her.
Retells the story of the 10 year siege of Troy, which occurred in the 12 or 13th century BC.
Well...you're all probably correct. i probably should think this a letdown in a line of BBC greats. hear me out. i'll admit that the bar for Sword & Sandal epics have wondered horribly low. i'll admit that maybe i've come to feel like loving mythology and wanting to see it come to life on the screen is akin to hoping the next Highlander movie will be the one that really will be amazing. so i do get it. the show has flaws; from the wooden acting, to the pacing, to the "all ancients need to speak with a British accent - again" and of course the horrible changes to some of the myths. this last one gets me the most. i mean i come to these movies just for that reason. but alas, i have come to accept that a portion of my suffering life involves watching movies ruin mythology.
that being said, i'm gonna go against the tide and say i did like some of this. i enjoyed seeing the choices made for this retelling. everyone is mentioning how distracting the actor selection is. i agree, just not for the same reason. i actually thought the interracial cast worked. David Gyasi as Achilles was waaaay better than Brad Pitt! i thought the selection for Achilles, Patriculus, and Zeus speaks more about the fluid nature of the diversity of skin tone in the ancient mediterranean. did Troy: Fall of a City represent every skin tone? no. far from it still. but it was better than all the cast being pale white Brits only, no offense to the Brits of course. what really distracted me about the casting choices is how everyone was chosen from a GQ magizine shoot. that was distracting!
i also liked how they tied some of the myths together with new interpretive spins. Take for example Agamemnon's grief over Iphigenia becoming a motivation for his stealing Briseis, as well as other atrocities. that's fascinating. i thought it worked well. is it correct? probably not, but i don't watch movie versions of mythology to get Classics Scholarship. it was enjoyable in spots is all i'm saying. i enjoyed it. despite its flaws. i can totally see future graduate students of Classics Departments watching this and creating drinking games out of it, all the while loving to hate it and hating to love it. i went to see myth come to life, and i wanted to be entertained like the Greek ancients of old. there's something here that works is all, and at least when they fail, they fail epically.
I just couldn't believe what I was watching in Netflix. This series is so wrong, so outrageously disrespectful to Homer's immortal Illiad that I had to write this review. The directors-writers-producers-whatever and whoever they were (-like a gang-) seem to have deliberately chosen to disfigure the masterpiece - perhaps the highest work of literature ever created. A cultural murder was, apparently, perpetrated in this "Troy-The Fall of a City". Just about every actor is miscast, starting with Paris/Alexander himself who does not look any bit "in love " with Helen at all! As he prepares to go back to Troy I got a feeling that Helen hid herself in that coffin out of boredom, not really for love - neither she, nor he seems to have been taken by the turmoil of an intense passion. Paris is such a modern boy ! Does he like soccer? Videogames? And Helen, though quite pretty, could not possibly be "...the most beautiful woman of the world" promised by Aphrodite. Ah!... Aphrodite promised. But didn't deliver... A certain discomfort invades the viewer from the start as he is confronted with so much bad acting, bad casting, bad timing in the events. Sorry to say that - but it MUST be said - Achilles SHOULD be someone hairy and blond - like a lion, as Homer explicitly wrote in his story. Achilles was "golden" like a lion! Nestor, an important character in the Illiad looks just like a street dweller that I see everyday somewhere in Rio de Janeiro where I live. Why this ? BBC managed to offend Homer, the Greeks, and all of humanity who read this immortal tale of war and love. AS some reviewers already noted, this awful TV series made the movie "Troy" (which contains many mistakes) with Brad Pitt, Eric Bana and lovely Diane Kruger shine like a jewel forever!!!!
