    And Agamemnon is a great warrior in his own right , within the top 3 warriors of the "greeks"(not called that in the Illiad) to the point Agamemnon, Achilles and one of the Ajax(or was it Odysseus?) draw lots to see who would fight hector. And in the Poem, Hector steals and wears the golden armor of Achilles after defeating the latters impersonator. And hector will go on wearing that armour when "fighting"/running from Achilles in absolute terror. Also in the Iliad it states that Ajax lifted a boulder that no man of Homers time could lift, which I took as implying he was retelling a far older tale but it's debatable. I also want to say Achilles was killed before the Trojan horse but I could be mistaken. Been years since I've read it, and I've only read it once. Many differences to be sure. *I was listening to the video as I typed this, forgive me if what I posted was said in the video lol*

    Really enjoyed this analysis! I've never seen that Spiderman movie, the reveal that you didn't even mention the villain is kind of mind blowing. Does that mean the movie is bad because a key character isn't integral in the story? Or does he exist purely to push things in motion?

    I read Iliad it's starts from argue between Achilles and Agamemnon not like movies. And Achilles won't fight Agamemnon because Athena, send by Hera, told him not to. (I miss gods in the movies) There is no evidence in books (source material) that Patroclus is lover of Achilles. Thats just liberal lies. And Patroclus dies different then in the movies: Hector knew he fights Patroclus, (who wass blinded by Appolo and wounded from behind)not Achilles.

    I think it's generally important that, before act two, the protagonist's escape route back to their old life closes. In Star Wars, Luke's family is killed, collapsing the route back to his childhood. This happened right after he had his "resist the call" moment. With The Matrix, it's a little different. Neo doesn't quite believe that there's no going back, until he sees what the Matrix is. And of course, Groundhog Day is the opposite of that. The character doesn't really understand what's happening till after the escape is closed. But I think it's rare that the character chooses to close the door to their status quo by choice, or at least, not knowingly. The whole point of the closed door is that they don't really understand the repercussions of moving forward till they can no longer go back.

    • @rottensquid
      @rottensquid 2 місяці тому

      I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about theme. Themes aren't moral lessons, they're more like measures. Spider-Man's simply stated theme seems like a moral lesson, until you begin to question if, instead of a rule to live by, it's a prison. Peter spends three movies bouncing back and forth from power/responsibility to powerlessness/freedom. The story reinforces the notion, and then questions it, before swinging back again. It never fully takes one side or the other. It doesn't even offer a balance. It's the swinging back and forth, embracing power and taking on the burdens, and then letting go of power and its weight, that makes up Peter Parker's life. Over the course of the films, he ends up powerless, yet with all the same burdens, and powerful without consequences. That's how to thoroughly explore the theme. It's not just proving some bit of moralizing true.

    • @rottensquid
      @rottensquid 2 місяці тому

      Some films have five acts, two acts, and in the case of Raiders of the Lost Ark, eight. But what's interesting is that all these movies still fit into the three-act structure as well. It's not a one-or-the-other situation. I think the three-act thing that Aristotle came up with is really just a way of understanding stories. It's not a set of instructions for how to make a story, it's a template for understanding how stories work. If something is missing from a story, chances are, the three act structure template can indicate what it is. I feel like people dismiss it because it doesn't do the job of writing a story for you. Treat it as instructions, and all it will give you is a collection of cliches. That's true of all these models, from Joseph Campbell's hero's journey to Dan Harmon's story circle. A bad writer can follow every step to the letter and still get garbage.

    I too love plot, but I kinda prefer Aristotle's analysis better than this one, as it seems to explain great stories that lack conflict, calls to adventure, etc, while this one does not. It also doesn't require (but does allow for) character arcs. Since I yawn at character arcs, this better matches my preferences.

    It always amuses me that critics call Hidden Fortress "Light Entertainment" It's a pretty deep story, and a cinematic masterpiece! One thing you missed is a Japanese song sung in three styles: 1 the fire festival, 2 the Generals attack 3 the princess sings the song from memory... Its a great introduction to Japanese music, which is pretty alien to most of us... IMHO

      It's more prevalent in the early drafts which were about a general trying to escort a princess to a safe location following the invasion of her planet. That basic idea is dropped from the first film but revived for the sequel which is about a hero (who will later become a general) escorting a princess to a safe location following the invasion of her planet.
