The Fall Of Troy

Oct 28, 2008  The Fall of Troy were at least as good as the bands they opened for. From what I understand this self-titled debut was out of print for awhile before it was re-released in '06. This is a great album to get first if you've never heard of them before. Being a debut album, the band had no guidlines or expectations to live up to with the music they. The Fall of Troy may refer to:. Trojan War; The Fall of Troy, a book written by Quintus Smyrnaeus in the 4th century about the Trojan War; The Fall of Troy (band), an American post-hardcore band The Fall of Troy, debut self-titled album by The Fall of Troy; The Fall of Troy, Italian film.

Summary: Chapter I — The Trojan War A father’s handsStained with dark streams flowingFrom blood of a girl.(See )In her portrayal of the Trojan War, Hamilton borrows from Homer’s Iliad, Apollodorus,Greek tragedies, and Virgil's Aeneid. The war has its roots in the wedding of King Peleus and the sea- nymph Thetis.When the gods decide not to invite Eris, she is angered and introducesDiscord to the banquet hall in the form of a golden apple inscribedwith the words “For the Fairest.” The vain goddesses argue overwho deserves the apple, and the field is narrowed down to Athena,Hera, and Aphrodite. Paris, the son of King Priam of Troy, is selectedto judge.

All three try to bribe Paris: Hera offers power, Athenaoffers success in battle, and Aphrodite offers the most beautifulwoman in the world—Paris chooses Aphrodite.Unfortunately, the most beautiful woman in the world,Helen, is already married to King Menelaus of Sparta. Visiting Menelaus, Paris,with Aphrodite’s help, betrays his host’s hospitality and kidnapsHelen back to Troy. All the Greek kings have at one time courtedHelen, so her mother has made them all swear to always support whomevershe might choose. When Helen is abducted, the only men who resistconscription are Odysseus, who does not want to leave his home andfamily, and Achilles, whose mother knows he is fated to die at Troyand holds him back. In the end, however, they join the rest of theGreeks and sail united against Troy. En route, the fleet angersArtemis, who stops the winds from blowing.

To appease her, the chiefof the Greeks, Agamemnon, is forced to sacrifice his own daughter,Iphigenia.The battle goes back and forth for nine years. The Trojans,led by Priam’s son, Hector, finally gain an advantage when Agamemnon kidnapsthe daughter of the Trojan priest of Apollo.

Furious, Achilles withdrawshis troops from battle. Without Achilles, the Greeks seem doomed.The gods have been evenly split thus far: Aphrodite, Ares, Apolloand Artemis on the side of the Trojans; Hera, Athena, and Poseidontake the Greek side. But Thetis persuades the hitherto neutral Zeusto help the Trojans. Menelaus defeats Paris in combat, however.Aphrodite saves Paris’s life, and the armies agree to a truce. ButHera is bent on war, so she makes a Trojan named Pandarus breakthe truce. When the battle starts again, the great Greek warriorDiomedes nearly kills the Trojan Aeneas, whom Apollo saves. Diomedeseven wounds Ares himself.The Greeks hold their own until Zeus remembers his promiseto Thetis and comes down to the battlefield.

The Trojans drive the Greeksback toward their ships. That night, Agamemnon agrees to returnBriseis, but when Odysseus goes to ask Achilles to accept the apology,he receives a flat refusal.

The next day the Greeks lose again withoutAchilles and are driven even closer to their ships. But then Heradecides to seduce Zeus and give the Greeks an advantage. While thetwo divinities are indisposed, the great Greek warrior Ajax nearlykills Hector. Discovering the deception, Zeus angrily commands Poseidonto abandon the Greeks, and the Trojans press forward. As the Greeksnear defeat, Achilles’s best friend, Patroclus, can restrain himselfno longer. He convinces Achilles to lend him his armor, thinkingthat even if Achilles refuses to fight, he himself can help theGreeks by pretending to be Achilles and thus frightening the Trojans.Leading Achilles’ men, the Myrmidons, into battle, Patroclus fightsvaliantly but is killed by Hector’s spear. Achilles grieves terriblyand decides to return to battle to avenge this death.

Thetis, seeingshe can no longer hold her son back, gives him armor made by Hephaestushimself.The Trojans soon retreat inside their impenetrable wallsthrough the huge Scaean gates. Only Hector remains outside, cladin Achilles’ own armor taken from Patroclus’s corpse. Hector and Achilles,the two greatest warriors of the Trojan War, finally face one another.When Hector sees that Athena stands by Achilles’ side while Apollohas left his own, he runs away from Achilles. They circle aroundand around the city of Troy until Athena disguises herself as Hector’sbrother and makes him stop. Achilles catches up with Hector, whorealizes the deception. They fight, and Achilles, aided by Athena,kills Hector with his spear. Achilles is still so filled with rageover Patroclus’s death that he drags Hector’s body over the ground,mutilating it.

He takes it back to the Greek camp and leaves itbeside Patroclus’s funeral pyre for dogs to devour. Such disrespect fora great warrior greatly displeases the gods, who convince Priam tovisit Achilles and retrieve Hector’s body. Priam speaks to Achilles, whosees the error of his ways. The Iliad ends withHector’s funeral. Summary: Chapter II —The Fall of Troy We stand at the same point of pain.We too are slaves.Our children are crying, calling to us with tears,“Mother, I am all alone.' (See )The war itself does not end with Hector’s funeral, andVirgil continues the account. Hector is replaced by Prince Memnonof Ethiopia, a great warrior, and the Trojans have the upper handfor a time.

But Achilles soon kills Memnon as well, driving theTrojans back to the Scaean gates. There, however, Paris kills Achilleswith Apollo’s help: Paris shoots an arrow and the god guides itto Achilles’ heel, his one vulnerable spot. (Thetis tried to makethe infant Achilles invulnerable by dunking his body in the mysticalRiver Styx but forgot to submerge the heel by which she held him.)The Greeks decide Achilles’ divine armor should be given to eitherOdysseus or Ajax, the two greatest Greek warriors remaining. WhenOdysseus is chosen, Ajax plots revenge, but Athena makes him gocrazy. Ajax massacres some cattle, then comes to his senses and,mortified, kills himself.

A reconstructed print of this mini-epic was shown this spring at the Tribeca Film Festival, in Lower Manhattan. The Fall of Troy was the work of Giovanni Pastrone, the director who went on to make the highly influential feature-length epic Cabiria two years later; it's said that the success of this film persuaded him to take on the far more ambitious project for which he's best remembered. Here Pastrone tells the story of the ten year Trojan War in about ten minutes, in a series of tableau-like scenes. Stylistically, the production switches back and forth from the stage technique of the day (i.e. Painted backdrops, operatic acting) to the more naturalistic style made possible by the cinema (i.e. Outdoor scenes, and real items used as props). Helen's seduction of Paris in a lavish royal garden opens the film in a fairly restrained fashion, but it's followed by a fantastic, dreamlike image of the runaway lovers fleeing Greece in a kind of flying chariot drawn by cherubs.

When the Greeks gather their forces to sail to Troy we can see that their boats are real and that this is no stage set: right before our eyes the soldiers actually launch their (rather small) boats on a body of water. The actors' costumes and other trappings are quite lavish for this era of film-making. The most memorable moment comes when, after years of fighting - which must be briskly implied, of course, given the brief running time - the Greeks build their wooden horse and withdraw to the woods. The image of the enormous horse looming over the beach must have greatly impressed audiences in 1911.

Unfortunately, this sense of grandeur is undercut in the scene that follows, when the Trojans pull the horse within their gates. Once the 'wooden' horse is inside we can see all too clearly that it is a stage contrivance of canvas flats. When the Greeks start popping out the scene becomes unintentionally comic, suggestive of those little clown cars in the circus that hold an impossible number of people. The print of The Fall of Troy shown at the festival was pieced together from several sources. The film ends after Troy has fallen to the Greeks, when Helen is brought before her husband Menelaus.

In the final moments she appears to beg for mercy as he turns away. Whether or not the film originally ended with their reconciliation is impossible to say, unless a more complete print is found.

Over all, this film represents a great leap forward for the cinema in almost every department, from visual effects to the comparatively restrained acting style - that is, aside from one over-excited actor who played a messenger in wildly histrionic fashion, drawing chuckles from the festival crowd. And apparently a crew member in contemporary clothes is visible at the edge of the frame during one battle scene, although I didn't see him myself. Even so, viewers familiar with very early movies that relate classical tales, such as Ferdinand Zecca's 1903 version of Samson and Delilah, will recognize that Pastrone was far ahead of his contemporaries, and the proof can be found in his subsequent work.
