I just finished rereading Roger Backhouse's excellent history of economic thought (an easy book to carry when you travel). Among other things it reminds us of how diminished economics has become in recent decades, and much economic understanding we have lost, especially on topics of trade, capital flows, welfare, and income distribution.

He vuelto a ver Troya (2004) y más allá de lo buena que es, quiero centrarme en Aquiles y su importancia.

Es el eje central de todo y su evolución desde ser un guerrero egoísta que solo busca la gloria a como sacrifica su propia vida por salvar a Briseida.

En medio de todo eso demuestra que es un personaje único para la época: su rivalidad con Héctor, ser el único guerrero que desobedece a sus líderes y hace lo que quiere, la muerte de su primo que cambia la guerra, su reto a los dioses.

El trabajo que hace Brad Pitt es brillante.

🗺️ El mapa de la ‘Odisea' 

Llevamos siglos intentando trazar el viaje de Ulises sobre un mapa

En 1901, un diplomático francés se lanzó a recorrer el Mediterráneo con la Odisea de Homero en la mano.

📍Examinó costas, vientos y corrientes para demostrar que los versos de la Odisea encajaban con la geografía real. Así lo plasmó ��

El camino argentino hacia la final - La película

[Cinema Tweets @CinemaTweets1]

My rewatch of Troy (🌟🌟🌟🌟) left me totally stunned. The scale, scope, and significance of every last shot from Wolfgang Petersen & the performances from every last actor (minus Orlando Bloom, get him out of this film) left me floored. It’s been a while since I revisited this film, but one week before Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey hits theaters, I wanted to revisit the story that precedes Odysseus’s journey home, and my God, is this good. I don’t understand the criticism this film faced upon its release back in 2004. I think Troy is a near-masterpiece. 

One of the many reasons why Gladiator is such a success (and why Gladiator 2 is such a failure) is the film’s ability in the opening scene to establish that Maximus is an impenetrable leader: you believe based on everything that happens in the opening 10 minutes that every last soldier on that battle field would run through a brick wall for Maximus. Troy achieves this exact sentiment. The very first 15 minutes are totally breathtaking, with Achilles (Pitt) killing Boagrius on Agamemnon’s (Brian Cox) behalf. With one stroke of Achilles’ spear, this film establishes Achilles’ status. You believe from everything beyond this very moment that he’s capable of anything. 

“Enemies are forged by war.” Obviously, The Iliad, which this is based on, and The Odyssey, have many meanings to many people. Upon rewatching Troy, my takeaway from this story is that in order in become great, you have to pursue conflict head-on. You can’t run from battle or war, or else how will anyone ever remember you? “That is why no one will remember your name” Achilles scoffs to a boy. The idea is that if you don’t face the hurdles before you, you can never be a true man. The flip side to that coin is Paris (Bloom), who runs from the fight & never earns anyone’s respect. Rather, he is remembered for the shame he brings Troy. 

Petersen’s direction shouldn’t be understated. He properly captures not just the scale of this entire film, but the violence. I love that he’s faithful to the original story and doesn’t hold back on how ruthless Achilles was or how brutal this war over Troy turned out. But that doesn’t mean this film isn’t without flaw. I think the romance scenes really slow the film’s pace down & hold it back from its absolute full potential. I also think Orlando Bloom is so bad, he takes me out of the film every time I watch. Especially when you consider that Bloom shares a handful of scenes with Peter O’Toole, who is excellent & gives a classically expressionist performance. Bloom is just so out of place in that context. 

Lastly, a word of the film’s two leads- Pitt & Eric Bana, who plays Hector. I will always say this whenever Bana comes up but what the Hell happened that stopped this man from making more good movies after the ‘00s? He’s utterly outstanding in this film & holds his own against Pitt. There’s definitely a parallel universe where Bana has a more fulfilled career. Then there’s Pitt. Every time I revist this film, Pitt’s performance surprises me more and more. His physicality is an essential component to a performance that packs a strong redemptive core. Pitt honestly gives a performance I didn’t think he’s capable of considering the period this takes place. I think between Pitt & Bana, the film’s leads could not be better. 

Rewatching Troy got me even more excited for The Odyssey next week. If Nolan’s next film is even half as good as this, we’re in for a treat.
