But, my father, sister and brother went to see the movie on its opening weekend. Both my brother and sister take Latin in school, and their teacher had an informal Saturday field trip. My dad went because my brother is under 18.
Anyways, my dad said that the one thing that stuck out for him as an absolutely blatent display of idiocy was a scene of a sunrise.
If you know ANYTHING about geography, you should know that Troy was on the Western coast of what is now Turkey. When the Greeks sailed, they had to sail East. When they landed, they would have been to the West of the city.
BUT, in at least one scene, the sun rose behind the landed Greek ships.
The Sun rose in the West???
Now, some movie mistakes I can understand, but what kind of morons would you need to be to make this kind of mistake??
