Cyrano & Roxanne Difference

One of the biggest difference between the two movies is the part where the guy insults Cyrano about his big nose. In the movie Cyrano, he didn't ask for the guy to choose a number of how many different way he can comment about his nose. Another big difference in that scene was the fighting scene, in both how they fought and the timing. The fight in the movie Roxanne was a lot shorter than the one in Cyrano. In the movie Cyrano, Cyrano made a poem while dueling, but in Roxanne it was quick and effective. A characteristic that was different in the Cyrano of the movie Cyrano and Roxanne was that the one in Roxanne had like super acrobatic skills. Something in common is their personality such as intelligence, cleverness, way with words, and wittiness. Both of their physical capabilities were compatibles as well, they were both able to beat up the guys who gives him  trouble. Last but not least, in the movie Cyrano, Roxanne was the cousin of Cyrano. While in the movie Roxanne, Cyrano (Charlie) and Roxanne were complete strangers.

Legend Post

My favorite legend would probably be the Incidental Adventures of Hercules. Mostly because of the movie Hercules, because it's a really cute movie. I loved that movie ever since I was a little kid, and I still do right now. I'm exactly sure why I love it, but I really like the story. Hercules is strong and skilled, and fair in all his challenges that I've read about. It's said that he's fair in all his challenges and never uses unfair tricks to his advantage. The story of Hercules is also quite interesting because he's a demigod. The story of how Zeus had an affair with Alcmene, and Hera was really mad when she found out. Yet, Zeus placed Hercules in Hera's arms and she raised him. Hera still had a grudge against Hercules so she sent him on a blind frenzy. He killed all of his children and his wife. When he finally came back to sanity he went to the Oracles of Delphi to make amends. The Oracles ordered Hercules to serve Eurystheus, and he sent Hercules on a series of tasks.
