@denniszenanywhere Oh, The English Patient is one of my favorite movies of him. I first saw him in Harry potter films as a kid, but didn't knew about him at the time. But when I saw him in "Schindler's list "and 'In Bruges", as a teenager and when I recognised him as voldemort from Harry potter, I started watching his other movies. I saw his performance in The English Patient and in a way, his acting moved me.
@ don’t get me started on The English patient lol, as I love that film. Even read the book and quote from it- “for the heart is an organ of fire.” Love the soundtrack of that film as well. I’ve seen most of his films as well as Juliette binochet’s.
The events and story, passed down by the ancient bards, is around 3,225 years old. Homer's great version was written down around 2700, as you said. Having read 12 translations of both "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" I think "The Odyssey" is the greater poem, though that's a minority opinion. This film, though Fiennes and Binoche are terrific, is a completely stripped down version of only the end of the story. The script imposes too many anachcronistic modern attitudes (late 20th, early 21st century attitudes) which don't work. Still, it's definitely worth seeeing. .
A real shame Hollywood doesn't see the value and intrigue of Ancient Greece and isnt' cranking out more. I would say yes to 22 films about different moments in Ancient Greek history as well as Greek myths over the entire MCU.
@@paulmayson3129 It's faithful in the sense that it seems to be a historical based adaptation of the end of the story. Will parts be drawn out? Sure, but that doesn't make it inaccurate either.
I watched it last night. As a Greek I m very happy for this brilliant adaptation. Don't wait to see the Monsters and the Gods. It begins from the moment he reached his island .
This is unexpectedly very very great. I give 9/10. All the casts acting are exceptional, the plot, character development. I have no complain. You know that warm feeling you've got after you finished watched a movie, you can get it from this one. If you have a chance to watch this movie, just watch it.
Wow. Time stopped but you could feel it still rumbilng for two hours. Very well done. They showed the brutality of the people without actually showing the brutality on screen. The "test" scene was a work of art. It reminds me of Arjuna winning Draupadi in her marriage contest. The characters had complexity, like the near king the fooled queen shrieked over, the abuser who on and off played romance victim while threatening her and the life of her son. That was a match in many ways for the queen herself who stoically managed to hold off the local barbarians for years yet regretted cleansing the village of their vileness when the soldier in chief returned. The test had been more than just one test.
It looks great and I'm glad they haven't forgot that he is one of the best fighters of the age not just smart but for the love of the gods the Trojans didn't think the horse was a gift they thought it was a sacrifice for a safe trip home from the Achaeans. Why would they besiege the city for a decade and then thank them for not winning?
Yeah this annoyed me, too. The Trojans didn’t stupidly let it in assuming it was a gift. They suspected a trap and had to be convinced. The Greeks left someone behind to persuade them, and the Trojans were still skeptical. It’s only when the gods finally intervened that they reluctantly let the horse in.
I literally just rewatched Troy yesterday randomly, then i see this trailer! Im pumped, i know it's not an actual sequel - but in my mind it is. Loved that movie, and this one looks great too!
@@docsays it still is bad in terms of adaption. They glorified Achilles too much and they changed the entire storyline of the Iliad. That is why for me is a bad movie
He is, in fact, the original. If you want to know more, I encourage you to read the Odyssey for yourself! :D I personally suggest Robert Fagles’ translation. It has a free audiobook for Spotify subscribers, and the book cover is very pretty. I also absolutely love his translation notes! It gives first time readers near-perfect context for the time period they’re about to experience ❤
Sadly, no. This is a bare bones stripped down version of the end of the story. Fiennes and Binoche are terrific, but the script a bit iffy. Still, it's worth seeing.
@@robertcatesby8420 I loved the film even if the gods are not in it. 4.5/5 easily for me even with a few story issues. I am on board for this different take.
At first, it annoyed me that the cast were walking around ruins & not an established civilisation with buildings intact. Then, I started to get Harryhausen vibes, genuine nostalgia. I so want a stopmotion creature to turn up.
The impression I get (and this may be wrong, as I am going off only a two minute trailer) is that the film justifies the ruins with the idea that Ithacan civilization has begun to fall apart because of Odysseus's absence.
Imagine that the king had left 20 years ago and taken an able-bodied population with him. What condition might the place they left be in when they, or just the king, returns?
Don't forget that this story takes place in a much older era than the classic one. We are in the 300 Spartans which has the well known architecture you probably referred to. Mycenaean era 1300-1200BC no in 500-300 BC with the Parthenon the great philosophers and the 300 Sp 0:45 a
There are two eras of Greek history, and you’re thinking of the later one with Socrates and Plato and Aristotle etc. This is an earlier age. Read The Odyssey and you realize this is a much less advanced civilization than the Classical Greece that will emerge later-kings sleep on floors along with all their slaves and family, etc. I’m actually very happy with how this film looks; it’s much more accurate to the more brutal and less developed Greece of the Homeric epics even if that’s not the “pop culture” image most Westerners have of Greece in this time period.
Given that I recently the watched Armand Assante version of this movie... it's hard watching anyone else play this role. I'm a huge fan of Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, but this trailer looks like the same story and I didn't see anything new. Will I still watch it? Yes. But I'm not expecting much, with the hopes that I'll leave the theater pleasantly surprised.
spoiler alert... the trailer basically gives it away, shoot through the axes, is all about alignment, it's a David Vs Goliath moment... strength of the mind against the strength of the body
...An entire drama based on the most interesting part of The Odyssey: Penelope and her suitors. Something tells me there will be no sirens, cyclops, or witch turning men into pigs.
Just finished it. My only complaint is the unneeded full frontal male nudity. Then it shied away from graphic violence- which admittedly could have been simply cheaper to make that way. The acting was superb and it has a fantastic score. 9/10.
I mean... The story is older than old, but did you have to spoil the ending in the trailer? This could've been quite an eye opener for entire generations unfamiliar with the source material
Looks good in many ways. But the voiceover saying "the smartest" three seconds in - does anybody have an ear for English in this project!? No translator of Homer would say "smartest" - it breaks the archaic feeling entirely, and not in a self-aware or clever way, just a careless way. It's not a word with a long history in English (in its current meaning), so it feels narrowly contemporary. Also, gosh, leave some parts of the movie out of the trailer. Weird blend of high and low quality in the trailer design and execution. These actors deserve better.
inb4 "muh Ethiopians" cope. Sub-Saharan Africans weren't in Ancient Greece in any significant numbers. Stop pushing black people into everything where they don't belong. It's a Greek myth, let it stay with Europeans. Of course, the people who run the production companies indeed cannot help themselves.
There are Black characters in The Iliad and The Odyssey. For example Memnon, king of Ethiopia, is a major supporting character in The Illiad. He's the son of Eos/Aurora goddess of the dawn, an ally of the Trojans, described as equal in skill almost to Achilles as they are both demigods. He's also depicted in the Roman epic The Aeneid which tells the Fall of Troy from the POV of the Trojans. His fight with Achillies is also depicted in several other Greek poems: The Aethiopis, Posthomerica, and Imagines. And he is depicted as a Black man in ancient Greek artwork and vase paintings.
This is the most pendulous, terrible adaptation imaginable of the rip-roaring conclusion of The Odyssey. There is literally zero plot development through its first hour-and-a-half as Feinnes mopes around the island feeling sorry for himself and Telemachus gets bullied by strangers then takes out his frustrations by accusing his mother of being a liar and a whore. In ancient Greece, the horrid behavior of any one of the people in this film would have resulted in immediate death as a matter of honor. The inhabitants of Ithaca in this bizarre film are also bafflingly international. They look about as Greek as the staff of a McDonald's in downtown Los Angeles, and their acting is about as good. The final scene in which Odysseus and his son slaughter all the bully-suitors is somewhat satisfying, but it is ruined by the resulting childish crying of Penelope, who in the poem is even more thirsty for these men's blood than were her husband and son. All of the family loyalty that makes this tale worthwhile is utterly destroyed and degraded. This is yet another Hollywood hit piece on the great traditions and stories of the west. If I could give it a negative score, I would. A truly evil thing.
Maybe you should make a little bit or research to find out that archers were vital in any European army too and you have to know about the period that Odessia happened.
Is there any role, any character than Ralph Fiennes cannot perform brilliantly? He's frickin awesome actor.
He really is incredible!
First noticed him in The English Patient. And I thought then, he'll be one of those British actors who will be in many movies for years to come.

The story is about 2700 years old. It has seriously withstood the test of time. One of the greatest masterpieces ever written in human history.
