>It has been noted that the terms used to put men in the horse are those used by ancient Greek authors to describe the embarkation of men on a ship and that there are analogies between the building of ships by Paris at the beginning of the Trojan saga and the building of the horse at the end; ships are called "sea-horses" once in the Odyssey. Into the 2010s, this view gained support from naval archaeology; ancient text and images show that a Phoenician merchant ship type decorated with a horse head, called hippos ('horse') by Greeks, became very diffuse in the Levant area around the beginning of the 1st millennium BC and was used to trade precious metals and sometimes to pay tribute after the end of a war.

>>220578144
The Trojan horse is only mentioned briefly in the Odyssey and doesn't appear in the Iliad. It's described more in the Aeneid (Roman) where they got direct help from Minerva (Athena) and it was built by the master craftsman Epeius and it's suppose to look like a flawless offering the Trojans would accept. The Troy version is actually less in line with the myth but it looks more realistic and what it might look like if people back then built it.
>>
>>220580060

>>220579492

>>
>>220580076
Except your point is bullshit. The story of the Trojan Horse involves the Trojans thinking that the Greeks brought them a gift of reconciliation in the form of a giant wooden horse statue. Making the horse statue that is supposed to be something the Trojans would actually want to bring into and display in their city look well-built and nice is at least relatively logical. If it looked like a rickety piece of shit, why would they want to keep it?

I don't even think the OP Nolan horse looks particularly good. It doesn't even look like it's made of wood, it looks like metal or some nebulous CGI or foam prop instead of a wooden horse - but the idea that the Trojan horse looked like a well-made and detailed statue isn't even a hundredth as stupid or fantastical as the notion that they should have cars. It fits perfectly fine in the realm of greek fantasy.

>>220580454
Because the reason they claim it’s bad is retarded. The myth doesn’t say “the Trojan Horse was some rushed, half-assed thing slapped together in a night that looked like crap.” It just says it was built of wood from ships. There’s no reason to think a Greek myth wouldn’t feature a grand, epic horse rather than a gay-looking piece of crap. It’s literally anti-mythic and historically deconstructive crap.

>>220578144
the trojan horse wasn't actually real btw. and it's more believable that a city would let in the odyssey's horse than the one below, since it's an ugly chunk of wood. there are 2 interpretations to the myth, one that it's made out of leftover ships, and another that it's genuinely a gift from athena. nolan went with the 2nd option
>>
>>220580683
It looks retarded.
I don't need to explain why it looks retarded, since aestheticism is self evident. The Greeks understood it and that's why their tales and sense of aestheticism have survived for thousands of years.
Meanwhile, you are a faggot tranny, who doesn't have a sense of aestheticism. You only desire to appreciate things that validate anything adjacent to what justifies your miserable existence, so you are unable to admit it looks gay and retarded.
You are trying to find logic towards why it looks gay and retarded, but at the same time, you demand "real arguments" because you know that you can't find reality in your self imposed subjectivity.
Which is standard behavior from someone who is both gay and retarded.
>>
>>220580745
I believe the horse represents an earthquake that fucked the walls up so the Greeks got in. Poseidon was on the side of the Greeks and he was the god of earthquakes and horses.
>>
>>220580691
The war took ten years, but for some reason they had to build the horse in one night? Nothing in the myths say it couldn't have been days, weeks, or longer. At Alesia, the Romans built the siege works in about a month.

No shit. If the layers that Schliemann didn't blow up are to be trusted, the city that was probably known as Wilusa by the Hittites was sacked multiple times and at best housed around 5k people. And more importantly, it was rebuilt after the supposed sack several more times.

Do you do this for every movie you watch? Do you do this for every scene in Lord of the Rings? Every scene in Lawrence of Arabia? Every scene in every movie?

Your argument seems to be that if something isn’t 100% airtight against every possible objection, then the whole movie sucks. But the entire history of film is full of unrealistic or stylized choices. At this level of nitpicking, almost every movie ever made would fall apart.

I can go on forever, but you faggot trannies already proved that you don't care about any of that. You will just rever to "why do you care so much it's a movie lmao" right after you asked for logical and reasonable reasons why it looks retarded.

You’re not smart for using impossible-proof standards. Plans can succeed despite flaws. In fact, that’s how most things in history and war actually work.

You could nitpick the other direction and say why would the Trojans even accept the ugly-ass horse from Troy? Your impossible-proof standard doesn’t explain why they’d drag some janky, ugly pile of wood into the city as a gift to the gods. If anything, making the horse more elaborate and horse-like is much more believable, because it looks like something they would see and think, “Yes, this is a worthy offering.”

But I’m not a faggot, so I can accept both versions.

You’re acting like the film has to present a perfectly undebunkable version of the horse in order to work, which is asinine.

>>
>>220581498
You can accept both versions because your standards allow you to change your definitions of logic at will if it suits your argument.
One version is logical, the other version isn't. When faced with this fact, you then forget about the logical aspect and go into subjectivity. This is because you don't care about good faith arguments, just to validate your standards that are only applied when it suits you.

bronze age objects of worship did not have to be "beautiful" or "realistic" in a representational sense. the thing that makes the horse notable is that horses are sacred to poseidon, not that it's necessarily very accomplished as an art object.
>>
>>220581545
>One version is logical, the other version isn't.
No one version is more "realistic". The other is more mythic. That’s fine. Not every version has to optimize for realism. You’re more concerned with logistics, I’m more concerned with telling a good story because it's a MYTH and I don't want some pedantic hyerrealistic version

So you deferred back to historical realism the second I said the top horse feels more mythological and epic. Not sure how many times I can repeat myself.

Because myths don’t have to be based on strict historical tradition. That’s just some arbitrary rule you made up.

The myth of the Iliad is based on Greek traditions, so your subjective argument is not only made up on the spot in order to suit you, is factually wrong. The horse isn't more mythological in your own definition of the word, it is purely an aesthetic choice which is actually retarded, both in looks (not mythological, again, by your own definition) and in practice.

Literal gods are working with the Greeks. Are you telling me it isn't feasible or logical in an epic myth that the Greek force can't overcome heat with the gods blessings?
>>
>>220582370
Myths are fundamentally defined by tradition. This is a fact.
There's nothing mythical about the one at the bottom, since it doesn't follow Greek tradition.
Not my fault you, again, wrote yourself into a corner.

Nope, myths are fundamentally defined by tradition. Without tradition, a myth is just fiction.

>>220582482
False equivalence. You can't use hyperbolic analogies and expect anyone to take them seriously. Do you actually think it breaks the rules of the narrative and departs completely from the tone of the story if all-powerful gods grant battle hardy mythological heroes the ability to withstand relatively benign heat for a day?

So why build an elaborate structure if the gods have to give them perks to overcome the faults of said structure.
Why not give them invisibility?
The ability to fly?
Why not make the horse fully mechanical?
Why change the biology of the soldiers to overcome the incredible heat of a bronze statue that was left in the heat of the Mediterranean beach? Why not add some air conditioning?

Or...
Just wait, this will sound incredible, I know.
Make the structure out of wood?

*rooted in tradition
That's why "just" was added before "fiction".
What's the difference between The Iliad and say, Harry Potter? Why is one considered a myth and the other one is fiction?
It's kind of crazy that you are struggling with this.
Nolan really did make the perfect movie for you.

This is all under the presupposition that said faults are actually there in the first place. I for one have zero difficulty ignoring certain points of realism in an epic myth if they have no bearing on the actual narrative. Hell if it just said
>some obscure slits in the statue allowed wind to pass through cooling them

I wouldn't think twice, no gods required.

Yes, you already established that you shut down your brain to enjoy movies. The medium is only for you to consume imagery that gives you brief dopamine hits, nothing else.

When the woke movie supports your propaganda it's "why do you care chud" but when they cast or write stories people want, you are the one who has a tantrum. If Sydney Sweeney was cast as Helen you would be screaming isms and acting like a lunatic. Because you people are all mentally ill.

This actually does detract from the movie though. You have to be completely marvel-brained to think otherwise. In fact, people aren't even asking for the movie to be historically accurate. People just want it to actually invoke a FEELING of the Bronze Age, or the Bronze Age as you imagined it as a kid when you weren't as informed. 2004 Troy was rarely ever historically accurate but it still managed to create a feeling of something ancient. Everything I've seen from the Odyssey just looks plastic and so anachronistic that it's impossible to ignore

How hard can it be to make a CGI wooden horse?
>>220578275
>>220579784

Delivering a small ship by land makes more sense for a diplomatic gift. It gives the Trojans the opportunity to launch it as their own boat with their own religious ceremony. If it shows up in water then it could have been cursed during the launching, or might be damaged from use. Also if it shows up in enemy harbour it could just get rammed and attacked.
A boat also makes way more sense as a gift than a dumb horse because vessels that could carry dozens of men with cargo were very expensive back then. A wooden horse is only worth as much as the wood.
>>
This board is nothing but hypocrites. When Troy came out you all hated it and constantly made fun of Diane Kruger being cast as Troy, Orlando Bloom's terrible acting and Brad Pitts cringe "HECTOR!" line, now you're all acting like its the best movie ever just cause you're all being chuds hating on Nolan.

Don't worry, you leave with a small victory here too. You may be genuinely low IQ, and you may be too much a shyguy to own up to it and that you said something genuinely retarded, but at least you successfully managed to ragebait me with your retardation too. I am genuinely fuming watching you squirm away from trying to defend wtf you even thought you were saying in this post >>220584230. You are valid

>>220584405
Yeah. And even in the parts that were entirely ahistorical, Troy still felt like it was created by people interested in the Bronze Age. Though I wonder if it's a generation thing. Maybe a zoomer genuinely sees those huge steel armors and think "yeah I know this isn't historically accurate but it feels suitably Bronze Age-like at least", just like we did for the ahistorical armours in Troy
