It's been a long time since I want to share this topic and now finally I was able to completed it. Today's topic, is all about one of my favorite movie inspired by Greek Mythology; Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. For those who love Mythology, I highly recommend this one, although there are more series of books about Percy Jackson such as The Sea of monster, The Titan's Curse and The Battle of Labyrinth written by Rick Riordan; but for now, I'll just focus on The Lightning Thief, my gateway to discovered Percy Jackson.

Since I know that not everyone are familiar with this movie, then I'll just share some points which can help you throughout if you want to read the book or to watch the film adaptation.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief | Full Movie

This story focuses on the main character Percy Jackson a demigod(half human - half god) who was the son of Poseidon. Since it was forbidden for a god to have a relationship to human, then Poseidon left them when he was just a baby, her mom kept this as a secret for his own safety. Since early childhood he was always get into trouble and known having ADHD and dyslexia without knowing it's part of having a blood of god.

When Percy Jackson finally knew his true identity her mother Sally Jackson sent him to Camp Half-Blood where he met a lot of teenagers, a demi god. There are other characters deuteragonist like;

Grover Underwood - the guardian of Percy Jackson. He was a satyr, half human - half goat.

Annabeth Chase - demigod daughter of Athena. Love interest of Percy Jackson.

Mr. Brunner - latin teacher of Percy Jackson which is a Chiron, half human - half horse.

The main conflict in the story is when Percy Jackson was accused who stole the lightning bolt of Zeus (god of sky). His journey start in proving his innocence and saving her mother's life.

Does Percy Jackson stole the lightning bolt? Is anyone stole the lightning bolt? Why he was accused by Zeus? What are the reasons of his journey? Where did they go? Are just some of the common questions in the story's exposition, but just like what I've said 'm not gonna answer those, as I don't want to be a spoiler for those who will watch the movie.


My favorite part in the movie is when they finally met Medusa.

Medusa is known as evil, monster and enemy of gods and goddess in Greek Mythology, without knowing the real story behind her situation. She is the most misunderstood character and only much known for her appearance having hair of snakes. She was the only mortal among 3 Gorgons, her sisters are Stheno and Euryale.

Medusa was once a kind, innocent and beautiful lady. She adores Athena (goddess of wisdom) so much, that she became one of priestess in Athena's temple. A lot of people come to Athena's temple just to see the beauty of Medusa, which makes Athena jealous to Medusa. One day, Poseidon (god of the sea) saw Medusa and it catch his attention, Poseidon tried to get Medusa but she keeps on rejecting him. Until Poseidon get Medusa by force, Medusa run to Athena's temple to ask for them but no one was there to help her, after Poseidon rape Medusa Athena came out and angrily confronted Medusa why she do tha act inside her holy temple. Athena didn't listen to Medusa and curse her to become a monster. Now, a beautiful and kind Medusa turns to a monster.

Back to the story, Percy Jackson finally defeated Medusa by cutting her head.

In Greek Mythology, Medusa became one of the dangerous monster, he can turn someone into a stone by just looking at her eyes. They try to kill Medusa, but they all failed. Until, King Polydectes sent Perseus, he give him a sword while Athena give him the polished shield. Using his skills and dedication to kill Medusa he was able to trick her using the shield's reflection and have the chance to cut Medusa's head.

At last, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, is just one of the movie which teach us not only about myth and legends but also the moral of life.

In addition, it teaches us to trust ourselves and our skills and talents. It maybe confusing sometimes but once we learn to know about ourselves and accept who we are, then we can do great things.

I remember seeing this movie year 2013 or so... It's an interesting movie but not as good as the book. The actors were goofy at some point and the part 2- Percy Jackson and the sea of Monsters was a terrible movie.

Sister ling is always making me fall in love with mythology day by day lol... I read the story of Medusa and I was quite sad. What make me felt bad was the fact that it was a woman like her the did this horrible thing to her Instead of confronting her husband... Women should learn how to support each other. Believe me sis, I have seen alot of cases where a wife would accuse another woman of snatching her husband as of the husband was still a child that doesn't know right from wrong.

Because in most cases, woman don't have the freedom to speak out, all they need to do is just to always follow the man.

The meaning of this story inspires that selfish life and cruel acts committed to everyone will end tragically, because there comes a time when the act will be destroyed along with the person.
