The Iliad v. Troy the Movie.

There were many differencies between the movie Troy, and Homer's illiad. One of the differnces being that the movie Troy had more of a love story to it. In The Illiad there was no love connection between any of the characters, unlike the movie. I also noticed that the movie contained little to none of refrences to the gods'. Unlike the Illiad. I also felt that as good looking as Brad Pitt is, he also fitted the description of Achilles well from the Illiad, and potrayed him well. Another thing that was alike from the book to the movie was the way Achilles killed Hector. It was an intense scene, where the actors showed the battle scene very well. There was some slight differencies from the movie to the book, but they were also pretty close, and showed the same themes, and history behind the story.
