Although the translation of a comedy that is 25 centuries oldmakes this read challenging, the plot is very simple, which makesdialogue enjoyable. In the case of the Peloponnesian War, the messagethat I got away was: although the war had been going on for twenty yearswhen the play was first staged, it still had another seven years torun, and there was no rational or practical solution to the problemspresented by war. The solution presented does not seem reasonable to me,especially if I am analyzing it from a modern-day perspective. However,it did seem to have a greater effect within the play.

I believe “Chi-raq” is a bold adaptation of Lysistrata. This filmis in-your-face, opinionated, and instigative. In my opinion, thisadaptation of Lysistrata is surprisingly close to the original.The film follows the same plot path and is spoken entirely in verse,just like the ancient play.
