i'm waiting in anticipation for troy to open over here in the middle of this month. methinks. can't wait to nitpick what's missing or added in the name of artistic license either.
not to ogle at brad pitt, mind.
nay, it is to relieve the tale which still holds lessons - to me at least - like:
- never interfere or get involved in other people's affairs
- the idea of war is utterly daft
- people go generally weak in the presence of (mere) beauty
- never accept any gift that's a passing resemblance to a horse
and that big question: what's so effin' big deal about this bird called Helen? all looks but no substance there.
ok so i may be a tad harsh about the last bit there. if Helen of Troy - or Sparta technically speaking - did exist thousands of yonks ago, how would i know what sort of person she really was? innit?
no matter, that's human nature and foibles for ye.
