Arden

if you want to get a strong anti-war message across this is how it’s done focusing on the victims suffering at the hands of powerful men instead of those men’s guilt. another completely realist approach to the same characters as in the odyssey but this time stripped of their heroic glory and brought down to their most morally perverse behaviour. by exposing how their anger and ambition leads them to kill a child, we see the real horrors of war through the affect it has on everyone else fully caused by the men who choose to wage it.  genuinely some of the greatest acting performances i’ve ever seen btw
