But the most interesting myths tend to involve not so much the (near)invincibility of their heroes as the tensions and challenges that test their wits, skill, and strength. No one expects much in the way of humanness from Heracles. In contrast, there’s too much self-conscious heroic mugging among the gunmen heroes of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN - even Robert Vaughn, a master gunman filled with fear and doubt, plays it archetypally than psychologically he’s more a symbol than a character.

They are admirable for their skill and courage but also interesting and full of surprises on the human level. SEVEN SAMURAI is greater than its Western remake THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN because its heroes are not simply larger-than-life. When something is inherently epic and grand, better to focus on the intimate and the peculiar to counterbalance the pomp and bombast. There’s no need for him to turn it into a non-stop brooding fashion show. Of course, Achilles is a great warrior in THE ILIAD. Of course, ancient history and myths are filled with grandiosity, but that is precisely why there’s no need to press the issue. Pervasive throughout was a collective self-consciousness of grandeur. What all three had in common was penchant for exaggeration and posturing. GLADIATOR was mostly whiplash action, TROY was a blend of turgidity and sensationalism - unfortunate blend of middlebrow striving for respectability and populist pandering to rabble-rousing instincts(as if co-directed by David Lean and Michael Bay) -, and 300 maybe worked on the level of a videogame. More recently, there were major productions like THE GLADIATOR, TROY, and 300. A handful, such as JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, have a certain charm and share of thrills. Most sword-and-sandal movies are not worth anyone’s time, not even for camp value. Though there has been a fair amount of movies inspired by Greek mythology and the Classical World, few have captured the spirit and power of the heroes, stories, and themes. is kid stuff, but there’s genuine passion and zeal in its pop-gospel. Most Jesus movies were made as demonstrations of dutiful obligation than in the ecstatic spirit of conversion. And whatever one thinks of E.T., it may be the best messiah movie, certainly more so than the piously dull Biblical epics. Roy Batty’s rebellion against the towering Tyrell Corporation evokes Siegfried, Wotan, Valhalla, and Gotterdammerung. BLADE RUNNER, though set in futuristic L.A., may be the best Wagnerian epic on celluloid. And some Samurai movies make better Westerns than classic Hollywood Westerns do. In a similar vein, the best film version of the Greek tragedy is the Japanese film HARAKIRI by Masaki Kobayashi. HOMICIDE, though historically removed from the world depicted in Kafka’s novels, captures the essence of Kafka’s obsessions.

Thus, though David Mamet’s HOMICIDE is set in NY of the 1980s, it is the best cinematic realization of the Kafka-esque, more so than direct adaptations of Kafka stories such as THE TRIAL by Orson Welles and THE CASTLE with Maximilian Schell. The essence of a narrative resides as much if not more in its spirit and style as in the specific details of its world. The best manifestation of a particular narrative - epic, legend, mythology, novel, drama - may not be a direct adaptation of the source material or even be situated in its time and place. “If you’re looking for a stool pigeon, go to the park.” – Carl Cody. I would not recommend it based on my experience and I wouldn't risk drinking it again if it meant having a similar experience.“If you want bread, go fuck a baker.” – Richard Chance. The flavors were surprisingly good despite the utter lack of carbonation but it could not save this beer. Overall: The overall drinking experience on this dead beer was lackluster and uninteresting. The beer does have a nice tartness which livens up the otherwise lifeless presence on the palate. Mouthfeel: It feels very flat and insipid. It has a bit of a sweet tasting finish with just some of that lingering sourness. There is a bit of a cinnamon-like flavor and some very light brown sugar flavor.
Taste: There is a fairly tart grape flavor that starts at the edges of the mouth and moves inward. I am getting a very light bit of alcohol. Zero retention or lacing.Īroma: There isn't much of an aroma.
There is a very short fizzy light tan head that instantly fizzes out to nothing within seconds. From the side of the front label: "Date Bottled: 8.26.16" "Batch #1129"Īppearance: The body of the beer is a light tea color.
