Review of "The Immortals"

Death to “Immortals”: http://www.leontios.com/

Poor barba Kyriakos was saying it, but his sons didn't listen to him. From the ear of one came his words, from the ear of the other they came out: “Charlie, Blash, open a book of mythology because I see you living in duvars", he was calling them. “Leave us, oh father with mythology. Where will he need us?;” they answered him and continued to collect cards with baseball players. And it was not enough that his children had no appetite for reading, the US education system also had its black crap - not like ours which with photocopies and CDs is a model of education. Where to learn mythology; They learned the basics of it lamely and decided to study law when they grew up. And the years passed…
At one point a film producer had the brilliant idea to shoot an adventure that would take place in ancient Greece. "Which Greek screenwriters do we know who play with mythology?;” he started asking friends and acquaintances. “Who; The best ones: the Parlapanidis brothers. They know mythology from’ out and mixed. They'll take you out white-faced". He assigned them the writing of the "Immortals" and slept soundly. When the movie came out in theaters, it turns out that the brothers from New Jersey only knew mythology in passing. An event from here, one of these… And people were left cursing the moment he paid a ticket to see the currency and their school teacher regretted not leaving them for life in the fourth grade.

Well, you will say, the movie is so cool; As long as you don't imagine… At this point I must clarify the following: when I decided to see her, I knew what I was going to watch: a fairy-tale with plenty of blood, the testosterone of the protagonists soaking the screen cloth and the salt from the popcorn drying my lips. I did not expect to see a story based on Isiod's "Theogony".. But I didn't expect to see this mess either. And you are told by someone who "screams" at the "Greeks" who do not raise a fly in our mythology. Where to start and where to end… Hey guys, from the moment you decided to shoot a film set in Greece, why didn't you use real names that -goes to the wish- they would also give a sense of verisimilitude; Because the oracle in the movie is not one that actually existed; Because the Greek you hear in the movie is worse than what a drunk Scandinavian tourist speaks; You paid five hundred people to work on the effects, it was so hard to give 300 dollars to someone to teach the protagonists four sentences; In your secrets (otherwise I wanted to write it) that is; But, you will tell me, what happened that the film will be shown in Greece as well?; They down there have their debt to deal with, the film will be noticed;

 An active musical encounter that arises spontaneously through free thinking and improvisation, in complete harmony with M.'s way of working and thinking. Hadjidaki. From the transcendent mood, with which Dimitris Kalantzis and Yiannis Antonopoulos bent over the scores of Manos' favorite melodies, as the naturalness with which the group's flexible rhythmic base communicates with the graceful and harmonious string musicians of Camerata, imparting to us the joy of music.

At the same time, the well-known Viennese psychiatrist Sigmund Freud happens to be in New York, together with his friend and student Carl Jung.
