On the 3 of september we watched two movies the first one was called - Icarus and Daedalus, the second one was Theseus and the Minotaur. Our assignment was to do a review about both the movies.
Which one did you enjoy most? Why?
I enjoyed the movie about both Icarus and Daedalus because it was so informational not only about the father and the son, but also about the nephew and king minos and his daughters. When I saw the ideas that Daedalus had in his mind were amazing especially since he doesn't have technology or that many items to work with. Also to make a labyrinth that is almost impossible to escape is amazing. The rest of the movies was really depressing and sad. The reason I did not choose Theseus and the minotaur was because I thought it was very depressing and sad. Both were quite sad but this one was much more sad.
Was it the characters or the story you enjoyed?
I believe that the characters shape the story but also vise versa. Without the characters the story is quite boring and plain, but with them the story becomes very interesting and compelling. So in other words I like both equally.
In thinking of the themes in these stories, what do they have in common?
Well there are a few different words that these stories have in common, they are promise, defeat, personally uplifting, greif and tragedy. When I talk about promise I mean how Theseus broke his promise to Adriane and his father. And how Icarus broke his promise to his father by going to close to the sun and melting the wax on the wings. By defeat I mean how Theseus had defeated the Minotaur and how Daedalus defeated himself by killing his son and his nephew.
These are some of the explanation's of the characteristics of the things both movies have in common.
