or maybe it's because i didn't search for the right thing.
either way, pitt/bloom/bana, it's a veritable schlong-stravaganza! the ladies will line up for this one.
and it looks pretty cool, so that's good.

Are you suggesting that this will do what Gladiator did for the bachelorette-party crowd?
I think it looks good, in it's way.
You do know Orlando Bloom likes boys, don't you?

Simple, pure elegance, A figure flowing through my viens making my heart tingle, my eyes tear A figure of you in my mind, with your mesmerizing eyes and your precious smile that still makes me weak in arms, It's your flowing grace that makes my mind breeze over with thoughts of joy and grief, The personality that shines brighter than any feature I can describe with any words, It's the sparkle in your eyes that pierce mine, and lock them into a moment of pure euphoria, The eyes that are only there in my dreams, turning them into wisps of heaven, lingering on earth, creating a feeling of pure love, Love, in my dreams.

I liked Troy better than Gladiator, but I hated Gladiator so that's not saying much.
Eric Bana's Hector really was the only likable person in the movie, have to agree with everyone else.
I like how in the beginning of the movie Achilles is just like a teenager refusing to do chores. "Pfft, I'm not fighting a war today".

Clarification: Pericles not Patroclus. My bad. Obviously, I'm a tard. My sincerest apologies to all (not like anyone paid attention anyway, thankfully). Today I had to write a review on this for my humanities prof in order to get a passing grade in said class. Manifestly, I'm not as big a tard as my teacher.

Peter O'Toole's teeth are ruff. You're rich, go see a dentist! Also, too many Caligula flashbacks.
― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 02:15 (twenty-two years ago)
I did see it the next day, though. My thoughts:
Pericles/Patroclus is so girly! I don't think I would have been turned on if there had been a homo scene between him and Achilles. They're both such old school/pre-clone gay fantasy types. Yawn. P didn't remind me of Hanson so much as Cynthia Nixon in Little Darlings.
http://www.dreamstarlets.com/features/!bios/cynthia_nixon22.jpg
I was hoping there be a bitchy "ooh, smell her" scene between him and Briseus, though.
The Myrmidons casual wear was pretty silly-those hippie chick skirts 'n' tops, god.
Disappointed there was no Eric Bana nude scene. And he's so NOT the poor man's Russell Crowe! He's Mark Ruffallo without the annoying mush-mouthed mannerisms, he's great! Needs to get in better movies, though.
Helen was giving Leelee Sobieski realness. Does it get any duller?
Weren't the reaction scenes during the fights hysterical? Poor Peter O'Toole. Every time the camera went back to him it was some effete variation on "Ouch, that smarts".
Brian Cox got just as many laughs as Brad at the show I went to. I've never seen him so over the top, I liked it.
What's with all the redheads in Ancient Greece/Troy? Oh, just reread the thread and Cacaman Flores mentioned something about all the blondes, too.
And the great balls of fire scene was awesome.
Yeah, I liked it, it was fun.

Aeneas cameo aside, we're talking Homer, not Virgil. But even then, it's not so much based/inspired by the Iliad, it's a Hollywood movie (with accompanying conventions) that happens to use characters from the epics.
Brad wasn't totally useless, he moved quite ably.
Hector was bland for being so virtuouos.
Big ups to Odysseus, mostly because everyone else embodied a single characteristic. Wiliness by necessity requires more than one dimension.
If only to hear teenage girls sitting in the front audibly swoon during shirtless Ornaldo, not a horrible film.

"wow! that's a great trick! it's almost like...a trojan horse!"
(when the horse was being wheeled into the city of troy, i just kept thinking "i didn't know you could use cgi to create a metaphor!" )
"i liked briseis, but hated andromache "
andromache's cheekbones frightened me. priseis looked like she was about 15 years old.
the movie didn't seem to have a handle on the paris character. at first it seems like his and helen's adolescent bullshit was being poked fun at, then toward the end they have all those "i love you! i will stay with you!" "intense" scenes which totally betrayed that reading. hm..
also brad pitt's jowls... can one get jowl cancer?
bombastic music SUCKED. especially woman howling constantly. i hate those slow crane shots made to reveal lots of set (or cgi set) before settling on a bunch of personages talking. "OH MY GOD WE'RE PASSING A HUGE STONE WALL...THE MUSIC IS SWELLING...I'M A GONNA CRY!"
