Good morning and salam to our E L C 231 lecture Madam Noormali Mohamad Jennis.

Before I start
to present my oral commentary movie review, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Larry
Jonna Lassy Therenece. My student id is 2019116939. I’m from class AM1103A. So, the movie that I
choose today is Clash of The Titans 2010.

This is the poster of clash of the titans 2010. Based on this poster u can see that the movie started
playing in cinema on 2 of April 2010

Now we move on to the overview of the plot. First is the introduction After defeating the Titans, the
gods divided the world among themselves; Zeus took the skies, Poseidon the seas, and Hades,
deceived by Zeus, was left with the Underworld. The gods created the mortals, whose worship
maintained the god's immortality. However, the mortals began to contempt and defy their creators.
The demigod Perseus was born to the mortal queen Danae who was pregnant by Zeus during the
battle of King Acrisius at Mount Olympus. Upon discovering her conception, an enraged Acrisius
orders the queen's execution and locks the child in a chest with her corpse. A lightning bolt strikes
the king and severely deforms him. The king then throws the chest into the sea. Thereafter, Perseus
is found and raised by the fisherman Spyros and his wife Marmara.

12 years later, Perseus and his family watch as soldiers from the city of Argos destroy the statue of
Zeus, declaring war on the gods. The Furies are then unleashed and slaughter the soldiers. Hades
appears and destroys the family's fishing vessel; Spyros and his family was drown and with Perseus
as the only survivor. Then he was found by another group of soldiers and the he was taken to the
king. They are celebrating their campaign against the gods, while their daughter Princess Andromeda
disapproves of her parents leading the city's new area. When Cassiopeia begins boasting of her
daughter to the gods, the cheerful is interrupted by Hades, and kill Cassiopeia easily by make her
old. He threatens to unleash his monster, the Kraken, against Argos, unless Andromeda is offered as
a sacrifice. Perseus meets Io, a mysterious woman cursed with immortality, who confirms his origin.

Perseus, Io, and the King's Guard led by Draco journey to the Stygian Witches, seeking a way to
defeat the Kraken. To help his son, Zeus tries to give Perseus a sword forged on Olympus, which he
refuses. Soon after, they are attacked by Acrisius, now known as Calibos, who was corrupted by
Hades, and sent to kill Perseus. During the fight, Draco severs Calibos' hand, forcing him to retreat to
a desert where his blood from the hand stump conjures giant scorpions which attack the group. They
are rescued by a band of Djinn, desert sorcerers who tame the remaining scorpions and lend their
aid to Perseus and his group. They arrive at the lair of the Stygian Witches who are forced to reveal a
weapon to defeat the Kraken and that is to obtain the head of the gorgon Medusa, who resides in
the Underworld. Then, Medusa kills everyone except Perseus, who finally manages to behead her by
using the underside of his shield to see her with his back turned. As he leaves the temple, Calibos
appears and fatally stabs Io. Perseus and Calibos fight, ending the battle after Perseus picks up the
Olympian sword and kills Calibos, restoring his human form at the last moment. As Io lies dying, she
urges Perseus to save Andromeda and Argos.

The winged horse Pegasus arrives and takes Perseus back to Argos as Hades, having manipulated
Zeus and the gods in earning their trust to releases the Kraken. Perseus arrives and exposes
Medusa's head to the Kraken, who gradually petrifies and crumbles. Hades confronts Perseus, but
the latter, invoking Zeus, hurls his sword at Hades, forcing him back to the Underworld. Perseus
rescues Andromeda, who asks Perseus to rule Argos by her side as King, but he declines. Perseus
later refuses another offer of godhood from Zeus; instead, Zeus revives Io, reuniting her and
Perseus.
Now we done with the overview of the plot.

Next, we move on to settings, genre, memorable quoted and awards. On the setting we know that
this movie was shoot at Wales, the Canary Islands in Spain, Iceland and Ethiopia. then for the genre
is action fantasy film. So for the memorable quoted of this movie is ‘Like children, they need to be
reminded of the order of things’ said Zeus. They win two golden raspberry awards nominations.

Next is the 4 main characters

brother for having been appointed lord of the underworld.
