Movie Reviews:
Most of what we know about mythology today is from various pop culture sources. For this reason, I want you to choose 2 movies to watch and critique. The first movie should be either Troy or O Brother, Where Art Thou? Troy, because it is a modern version of the Trojan war and includes much of what is covered in the Iliad. O Brother, Where Art Thou? Because it is a modern version of the Odyssey. The second movie should be a modern adaptation of a Greek tragedy. I will provide a list of choices on Compass. It will be your responsibility to go to the library and view these movies there, or rent them to watch on your own. In your critique, be sure to include your opinion of the movie based on it’s accuracy and creative license use. What aspects of the movie did you like? What did it do well in terms of staying true to the original source? What did you not like? What did it not do well? Who seems to be the intended audience? What adjustments or changes were made to the original myths to render them as entertainment? Do you think the adaptation was successful or unsuccessful, and why? Use specific examples. DUE the LAST day of class. These should be typed, one-page single-spaced minimum.
