Introduction

Key Ideas

ClassicismGreek mythology films were most common in Hollywood between the late 50s and80s. 1963s Jason and the Argonauts and the original Clash were so earnestly sword-and-sandal, audiences could not help but be charmed. Jason quests for the GoldenFleece and fights everything from harpies to the Hydra. In Clash of the Titans, Perseusmanhandles witches and slaughters Medusa. (Honeycutt 2011)

Hollywood has rediscovered ancient Greek mythology with its gods and monsters,muscular men with shields and swords and the hero's quest to save humanity in the2010 version of "Clash of the Titans:(Silverman 2010)

Realism Typical Hollywood. The Greek myths might be bizarre, exciting, violent and

dramatic, but that didn't stop the creators of the highly enjoyable Clash ofthe Titans film making their plotline even more extravagant than thesource material. And that goes for both the ancient Greek myths andthe original 1981 movie.(Higgins 2010)

Culture Context

Clash of the titans (1981/2010) are both loosely based on Greek

mythology.

Greek Myth characters and how Hollywood portrays them.

The films (81/10) also change the story of what happens in Perseus life,

this seems to be down to the fact that the correct story of him is a bit

boring and needed to be spiced up in order to keep the audience

interested.

Conclusion

After many films what have been based around Greek myth from the 50s

right up till now have slowly drifted away from the correct myth to

changing the story to be more entertaining or an excuse just to use special

effects more.

The characters within the films have changed in Hollywood movies to be

more appealing to the audience.
