Why We Fight (2005)
Great! Recommended!
For all those interested in understanding a little better the motives behind wars in the last 60 years (at minimum), this movie will show you different points of view about "why we fight" (the original title of a US military propaganda of the past). In the meantime, you'll also see a lot of facts (yes, unquestionable facts) backing up the presumption yielded at the last minutes... that Capitalism is winning over Democracy. Patriotism, Militarism, Corruption, False democracy, Lies, etc, etc. We are used to those. This time, the topic is the military-industrial complex, something even a Republican (Dwight Eisenhower) warned about.
Troy (2004)
Bad epoch adaptation, extremely over-acted
I know its an epic movie and they usually have over-acting conceded, but add that to a bad epoch adaptation (screenplay, customers, make-up, manners, crafts, everything...) and the result is this gladiator-lordoftherings-wannabe that falls very short at the attempt. Shoudn't get any academy awards nominations, except maybe for visual effects or ... i don't know... hair-styles? But who knows, we've seen other overrated movies win a lot of Oscars before, like Titanic, where each statue represents like xzillion dollars invested which represent a lot of jobs.... (remember folks: to win Oscars you don't have to make good films, you need a lot of investors). The screenplay was probably the worst, with acting (influenced by the plot) a close second. A 5 is more than enough.
