Écrire une dissertation d’environs 350 mots dactylographiés sur l’ordinateur et bien corrigé avec bonpatron.com, Word ou un autre programme. Comparer les similarités et différences entre un certain film/jeu vidéo/livre historique et la vraie histoire.  Rechercher l’histoire authentique de la Grèce avec au moins une cite en français. Proposer des suggestions de pourquoi les créateurs adaptent leur costumes/histoires/scène. Évaluer si les changements sont nécessaire et à quel point tu crois que les histoires devraient être authentiques.  Faire une liste de citation.

  1. 1er paragraphe – Introduction – présenter tes grandes idées et ta thèse Ex. Dans le film « Troie » ils adaptent l’histoire de l’Iliade de Homer pour les audiences modernes par enlever la présence les dieux et par moderniser les costumes et les valeurs…
  2. 2e paragraphe – discute un point avec des détails de Grèce et de l’histoire : Ex. Dans l’Iliade les dieux sont présents sur le champ de guerre et à travers l’histoire mais dans « Troie » les personnages vont seulement prier aux dieux.  Ceci l’histoire plus réaliste et acceptable pour les audiences modernes.
  3. 3e paragraphe - discute un point avec des détails de Grèce et de l’histoire….Ex. Discute comment les costumes sont plus sexy et les acteurs sont en meilleurs santé que réaliste pour l’époque (pas de dents bruns etc.).
  4. 4e paragraphe – discute un point avec des détails de Grèce et de l’histoire : Ex.  Des femmes qui se battent, les hommes respectent les décisions des femmes…
  5. Conclusion – Juge si ces changements sont préférables selon toi : Ex. Les créateurs de « Troie » ont créé une adaptions d’une histoire ancienne qui le modernise pour plaire aux audiences moderne.  La récréation du classique de Homer ne serait pas aussi accessible pour les audiences aujourd’hui si les dieux vainquaient sur les champs de guerre, les femmes se cachaient dans une chambre derrière et les acteurs avaient des dents pourris et la peau poquée par des maladies.  Leur film refait une légende classique dans une histoire passionnante et intéressante pour nos goûts modernes mais les audiences ne devraient pas être convaincus que ce qu’ils regardent représente bien ni la vie de l’époque ni la légende d’Homer.
