This week my blog assignment is to watch a multicultural movie, show, etc. with subtitles while looking for similarities to my own culture. I searched through about twenty movies and documentaries when I decided on 2002 Oscar-nominated film City of God. The film is based on the true story events of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at the height of a brutal war between two gangs lead by Manoel Machado Rocha (Mane Chicken) and Jose Eduardo Barreto Conceicao (Ze Pequeno aka Lil Ze). The bloodshed took place during the 70s and 80s in a favela (Cidade de Deus City of God). The streets within this small community were littered with the bodies of boys age 5 and up. Here is a link to the trailer for the movie.
The film City of God was filmed in the low socio-economic location of Rio de Janerio. The official language spoke in this region is Portuguese. The roads are unpaved and the houses are cookie cutter type structures built closely together. The families who form this favela are made up of poor working class (fishermen, fishmongers, small business owners). The picture below is an example of the housing the young men lived in:
The only food shown in the film was chicken. I believe I saw someone eat chicken one time in the film, however, the characters ordered chicken throughout the film. In the beginning and again at the end of the film little boys are seen chasing a chicken which they were going to kill, clean, and cook alongside vegetables.
The image below is relative to the tone and situation the movie depicted of the horrific events that took place during the 70s and 8os in the Cidade de Deus City of God. Sadly, this event is not an isolated one. Here is a link to another video of mothers living in Rio de Janeiro who are suffering from the death of their child(ren).
Really liked this post, i really like the nothern culture and find very hard to come across good realiable books on the topic here where i live.Thanks for opening my eyes to the modifications done by the movie, just found this site, great job!
I congratulate your effort to set things straight about these topics. We've all seen how it went for greek myths, so it's really refreshing to see that you and others who know about these issues are still willing not to give in to these attempts to mess everything up. They are entitled to make movies as they want but they shouldn't be able to cover it as a revamping of the old myths.
As an eclectic pagan, and follower of asatru I can attest that what has been said is entirely true. Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the conversion to Christianity is the destruction of so much of the old ways. Despite having a complex system of writing most of Norse history was passed down as oral traditions, which were then written down by christian scholars years and even centuries after the conversion. So as was stated many times "the surviving myths" are the basis of what we have to go on and most of them have been edited by a christian mindset. And alas we have the culture being diminished and polluted further by Hollywood in the effort making money. Anyone that is curious about the true Norse history should read books and disregard the films entirely, The Icelandic sagas and poetic edda and prose edda are a readily available place to start.
This.. makes SO MUCH SENSE. I've been trying to pinpoint exactly what about the Marvel Versions have totally and completely wrong and why they irk me so much. Unfortunately, I found myself brainwashed by Tumblr and the hordes of Lokeans who base their interpretation of Loki off of Tom Hiddleston (Nothing wrong with the actor, it's the character that's incorrect). Loki is NOT the misunderstood anti-hero, only in Marvel-verse. Which doesn't count b/c it's so twisted up with Judeo-Christian overtones. I love your works and wish I could take your classes. Thank you.
I completely agree with your assessment! I can also see why they killed it. IMHO the editors probably didn't want to offend those Judeo-Christians who might read your article.I think the bulk of Americans don't really realize how entwined those beliefs have become in their own lives. They may not even claim to be Christian, but having it framed up up in a root-level palatable way would make better ratings for the movie.Feed them the pablum that they like; hence all the angstyness and parent-child stuff.
I enjoyed this article, and agree with most of it, with one quibble. You said, in my own words, that the Thor of the Norse myths solved all His problems with His Hammer, but this is not what happened in the Alvissmal.
Totally agree,besides the Edda and all the Nord's ancient writings show an other face of the "Gods" .. sure Marvel made it look smooth,but that's Marvel,a clone of Disney ..
isn't the same happening to all ancient records these days ??
I guess I'm kind of wondering how, on the one hand, we can look at comic books (generally) and Thor's titles in particular and recognize them them as modern continuations and retellings of the same Mythological traditions, but on the other hand insist that myths can't become outdated or invalid. Myth has always seemed to me to be a living thing, not something that we should treat as Static -- and the gods, if they are Forces or Divine Beings or aliens (and I have no trouble believing that people in the past might misconstrue aliens with advanced technology as gods, just as I have no trouble believing that today we might misconstrue a god descending from the heavens as an alien invasion, frankly, or some kind of scientific event that we just need to study harder to figure out), surely are not static either, but must, also, adapt.
I think the point you make, though, about how we have choice of how to engage with these myths -- as child or as an adult -- and that mostly, with Norse myth, people are stuck on the child-level is pretty insightful. But I think it applies to more than just the interpretation and interaction with Norse Myth. I think this is a general trend among the many when it comes to any and every faith -- particularly among extremist sects within those faiths and religions.
But I don't know. It's easy to criticize the entertainment industry and hollywood for messing with these things (and honestly, I think that Hollywood has treated Thor a LOT better than they did Theseus, or the story of the Trojan War, or Perseus, or what looks to be two completely inexcusable "adaptations" of Heracles, coming down the pipe) but I think it's obvious from the Prose Edda's introduction, that Snorri grinds up the cultural artifact of Norse Myth just as determinedly as the entertainment industry -- and arguably, for the same reasons, to make it easily graspable by the widest possible demographic, in order to preserve the poetic forms of that period -- but we accept him as a legitimate and valuable source for Norse Myth, all the same, in spite of the fact that he was Christian, and living in a time when the majority of the worship of these gods had been stamped out by the Church. Should we reject the Thor comics and movies for doing the same?
