Fury: Achilles' Myth.

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2015)

I can't stop thinking of this movie as a (not so) distant relative of Troy. Do you remember Troy's first fighting scene where Achilles introduces himself killing the enemy champion in a jump? Watch the present film and tell me if this doesn't remind you of something.
And do you remember when Achilles shows his demigod warrior body by washing himself from a washbasin before the beautiful Briseis? Same.
Maybe the fact that the Allies disembarked in Normandy just as Mycenaeans did on Troy's beach, maybe (most likely) Brad Pitt's unforgettable performance in Troy it seems to me that that film deeply inspired David Ayer and led him to celebrate Achilles myth in a modern way. A shrink would say that even the title, (made of the same number of letters and ending with a 'Y') is revealing.
Well, as long as it is clear that I'm talking about Wolfgang Petersen's movie and not Homer's Iliad, I liked the present movie as much as I liked the other. And did likewise with Brad Pitt's performance.
