Troy (Blog Entry 2)

This was an excellent movie. I enjoy movies from the medival times, so I am a little biased towards movies like this. This movie was directed by Wolfgan Petersen. This movie was full of great shots and graphics. The way the director portrayed and shot the fighting during the war taking place in the movie was very good. There was obviously a lot of casting done for this film and it showed how well they chose everyone.

I thought the cinematography of this film was extraordinary. The way they were able to make all these overhead shots to show what is going on really caught my attention. The cinematography of this film showed the tension between the two nations. It was able to capture the feelings of the leaders and their feelings toward one another.

The director also did a great job just simply shooting this film. The editing really contributed to how great the movie turned out. The director chose great shots to include in the fighting scenes. Every fight meant something and you were able to recognize who was fighting, and the importance of the character's involvement in the fight. Not one shot went by without the audience being "into it".

The story was not entirely accurate, but that is entertainment. The movie is supposed to entertain us as well as tell us a story. Movies based on medival times seem to get better and better in my opinion. Probably becuase of the different technologies coming out, and the better shots they are able to take. Overall, I really enjoyed this film and I would recommend it to anyone.
