If I had to choose the film I most want to see this year, my choice would not be "Harry Potter III", let alone "Spider-Man II", but the epic blockbuster "Troy". Because it contains almost all the elements that attract audiences in modern movies: there are alluring love, epic heroes, grand and tragic wars, betrayal, dedication and epic legendary backgrounds. The large investment and luxurious star lineup make the film a must-see in the summer.
(After the advertisement, I want to say something off topic. ^_^ I saw the D version of "Troy" on the market two weeks ago. I was eagerly waiting for the theater release. The emperor paid off, and finally waited until "Troy" landed in Guangzhou on June 9 to be released in advance. That night, I nested in a corner of Feiyang Studios and enjoyed a delicious meal.)
There is no doubt about it . , "Troy" is a standard male film, and it is not difficult to find this from the composition of its main creators: director Wolfgang Petersen has directed blockbusters such as "Air Force One" and "Perfect Storm" , it can be said to be handy for big scene scheduling, especially good at dealing with tense combat scenes and heroic characters under pressure. The German old man is a real man, and once said in an interview: "I had received the book of "Gladiator" earlier than Ridley Scott, but I turned it down - look how stupid I am, and it turned out to be When I see a script like that again - there's love and war ("Troy") - I take it without thinking." Starring Brad Pitt has repeatedly won the "world's sexiest man" reputation In the film, he plays the Greek hero Achilles, a god of war who is comparable to Lv Bu in the Three Kingdoms. And the newcomer Orlando Bloom took off the costume of the elf marksman in "The Lord of the Rings" and came to the city of Troy to sit on the throne of the prince, playing the young and ignorant beautiful man in mythology. In addition, Eric Banner, who became famous for "The Hulk", and veteran movie star Brian Cox played the Trojan hero Hector and Basda commander Agamemnon respectively. The former is brave and determined. A tragic hero, the latter is the brutal and selfish commander of the Greek coalition.
The story told in the film happened 3,000 years ago in ancient Greece. Paris, the little prince of Troy, fell in love with Helen, the princess of Sparta at first sight. Driven by love, he secretly took Helen from the king of Sparta, thus igniting this scene. The war that brought destruction to the city of Troy. The king of Sparta was so angry that he found his brother Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, and asked for his help. The ambitious Agamemnon also hoped to conquer Troy, so he took this opportunity to form a Greek coalition to conquer Troy, and the god of war Achilles also went out with the army. Under the impregnable walls of Troy, the entire war was brutal and bloody. Love, courage and honor, as well as the huge Trojan horse left by the Greeks, have created a legend that people talk about...
The toned physiques of Brad Pitt and Eric Banner, the spectacular scene of the Greek battleship racing across thousands of sails, the brutal battle of cold weapons with iron blood, and the tense and fierce duel of warriors make the two and a half hours of the movie exciting and climaxing one after another. . This huge investment film does not fall into the stereotype of only special effects, and the star's excellent performance brings the tragic fate and struggle of the characters in the play to dazzling display. As a natural god of war, Achilles, despite his contempt for the power of the Allied commander Agamemnon, joined this brutal war in order to establish his immortal fame. Brad Pitt expresses Achilles' bravery, arrogance, rage and affection to the fullest. Achilles was a proud man because he was the number one warrior in the world. And Brad Pitt is also a proud man. He famously said: "People think I look arrogant, but they all end up falling for me because of it." Throughout Hollywood, I am afraid there is no more arrogant than him. An actor suitable for this role. In order to show the perfect physique of ancient Greek warriors in front of the camera, Brad Pitt spent six months in fitness training, insisting on three hours of exercise a day and a low-fat diet of five meals a day, and finally showed it on the big screen A toned physique, his miniskirt style is comparable to Mel Gibson's kilt in "Braveheart". And Hector, the only hero who can compete with Achilles in the world, knows that his brother Paris has made a big mistake, but out of love for his brother, father and country, he still Fight without complaint. Australian movie star Eric Banner brought this classic character to life and successfully created a heroic image of noble, brave and tenderness. In the film, Hector said: "I have held to one creed all my life, and this creed is very simple - to respect the gods of our faith, to love our women, and to defend our motherland." This episode is unforgettable. There is also a wonderful detail. After Hector accidentally killed Achilles' cousin, he had a premonition that Achilles was coming to challenge him, and was ready to die. At home, he lovingly hugged him. My son, who was born not long ago, showed infinite affection in his eyes. At that time, I seemed to see a most real and strong man, and I thought of Lu Xun's poem "Heartless is not necessarily a hero, how can a pity be not a husband".
The most intense confrontation in the film takes place between Achilles and Hector, the two best warriors, and this is the climax of the film. As the famous generals of Greece and Troy, the hand-to-hand combat between the two is so tense that it is more exciting than "Gladiator". I'm used to watching the flying eaves and walls of the masters in martial arts films, and then I can enjoy watching the close combat of ancient Greek warriors dressed in leather armor and holding bronze daggers, which is really quite enjoyable.
The fly in the ointment is that when the film was released in China, it is said that out of consideration for China's national conditions, ten minutes of violence and nudity were deleted, and one of the scenes was cut quite bluntly: Princess Troy wanted to stab Achilles at night after being captured. When she failed, Achilles pushed her onto the bed instead, and then the scene cut off abruptly, jumping to a seaside sunrise scene, and then suddenly jumping back to the sleeping face of Princess Troy in the tent. The cut marks are so obvious that it makes people laugh and cry. (I have to get a full version of "Troy" to see it tomorrow. If I don't rush anything else, I will rush to the sexy PP with Pitt's back naked, hehe!)
